Advisor, trainer, coach
I build change makers.
Revolutionizing change management for collective well-being.
Change management needs to help more people create actual change. Traditional models aren’t getting us there.
88% of organizational change efforts fail to produce lasting results (Source: Mankins and Litre, Harvard Business Review, 2024).
​
Creating the change your clients and staff expect requires a different approach. It starts with foundational skills most teams are never taught: how to communicate change, how to support others through it, and how to work with differences.
​
Stop settling for change theater. Start learning change.
​
Core services
I advise mission-driven organizations who need to see change.
I have 15+ years of experience helping hundreds of mission-driven organizations make and sustain changes to improve client outcomes. I train, coach, and advise clients on Quality Improvement, Motivational Interviewing, and Strategic Planning.
In addition to my work with clients, I am a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers and a faculty member with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, where I support health care organizations in adopting evidence-based safety practices.
​
I am a firm believer that it is not enough to walk your team through a change process. You deserve to learn from it. I help clients master the core skills they need to create change throughout their careers.
