Speaking and Facilitating.

Fresh thinking for when the stakes are high

If your team is stuck in the weeds, going through the motions, or facing complex decisions that need sharper thinking – that’s where I come in.

I design and facilitate sessions that give leaders the space (and nudge) to think differently, cut through complexity, and move forward with clarity and momentum. Whether it’s a strategy workshop, leadership offsite, or industry keynote, my sessions help people zoom out, see what really matters, and make decisions that stick.

With nearly 20 years in urban planning, public policy, and leadership, I know what it takes to lead in environments full of competing priorities, political complexity, and relentless pressure.

My approach is structured but human, practical but never preachy. I combine strategic clarity with coaching expertise – helping teams not just generate ideas, but actually move on them.

I also bring the mindset of an ultramarathoner: focused, resilient, and intentional. No, I won’t make your team run into the mountains – but I will help them challenge assumptions, push past stale ways of thinking, and build momentum toward what matters most.

Let’s design a session that gets your team thinking – and acting differently.
