What would it be like for me to say what I am seeing and I wasn't worried about how it ruffled peoples feathers. 

​

Theory of change 

We believe that the combination of activated and politically engaged practitioners, alignment around liberatory principles of culture building, and the development of clearly articulated emotional competencies, will support a more thriving and inviting ecosystem supportive of movements.

​

How we do anything is how we do everything

For each person I believe: 

​

• You are whole and complete 

• You have a desire to make a difference 

• You have much to contribute 

• You have your own answers 

• You deserve dignity and respect 

​

This guides my work. I will hold these truths as I partner with you in the contribution you are here to make.

​

• How we are doing change is just as important in the micro-moments as it is in the macro

• Death is a part of life; how we move towards death is how we move through life. 

• We are here to surrender to the truth of our lives. 

• A commitment to investigate my own conclusions and beliefs 

• Look, See, Tell the Truth, Take Authentic Action 

​

RELATIONAL 

Guiding Questions: What support am I willing to ask for? What support am I willing to offer?

​

We are interdependent and it is through the asking, receiving, and offering of support that we strengthen trust and connection. We each hold a piece of the collective wisdom and creativity that lies within the community. And it is how we relate in our interactions that provides the foundation for systems of change. 

​

TRUTHFUL

Guiding Question: What is so? What have I done that is in or out of alignment with my values?  What is there for me to clean up? What shifts and/or amends must I make?

​

Let's distinguish a difference between truth and honesty. 

Look at institutions not individuals, structures and systems. 

​

PLAYFUL & CREATIVE 

​

CURIOUS 

​

INNOVATIVE & POSSIBILITY & GROWTH-FOCUSED

Guiding Question: What is so? What have I done that is out of alignment with my values?  What is there for me to clean up? What shifts and/or amends must I make?

​

GENEROUS & COURAGEOUS ? GRATEFUL

​

RESTFUL

 

JOY-FILLED 

​

​

HUMAN-CENTERED & SYSTEM-FOCUSED

For me as coach, this means I endeavor to support you through whatever is uncomfortable that arises; it means I am open to the perspectives of others; and it means I aim to harvest the wisdom of the group in a way that supports the uniqueness of each individual. Way of being to be with all the waves of the emotional experience

​

integrity, transparency, humility, self-responsibility, curiosity, self-accountability, and most importantly; respect.

​

with a focus on embracing intellectual diversity, making room for difficult conversations, leading with curiosity, cultivating a growth mindset (using evidence-based methods), developing behavioural flexibility, and getting you back in the driver’s seat.

​

Sane leadership is the unshakeable faith in people’s capacity to be generous, creative and kind. It is the commitment to create the conditions for these capacities to blossom, protected from the external environment.  It is the deep knowing that, even in the most dire circumstances, more becomes possible as people engage together with compassion and discernment, self-determining their way forward.”

​

Guiding values: generosity, inclusion, diversity, respect, and kindness. Nurturing lifelong learning and supportive, collaborative relationships is important to me.
