About
 

With over twenty years of successful management and consulting experience, in multiple types of organizations, I have designed and managed change initiatives, used innovative approaches and intuition to institute and sustain new processes in diverse environments, planned and managed large-scale projects, coordinated cross-departmental cooperation to achieve objectives, and hired and built exceptional, highly functional teams.

I have studied human capacities development and innovative leadership strategies under Dr. Jean Houston, a founder of the human potential movement and leader in cultural development initiatives.

Through work with Sobonfu Some, from the Dagara, an Indigenous tribe in Burkina Faso, West Africa, I have learned how ancient wisdom teachings can expand and deepen our understanding and usage of integrative thinking approaches and creativity.
