A Practitioner of Generous Human Connection
I am a social scientist and consultant passionate about sharing my approach to creating better human experiences. This means keeping people at the center of all I do which is not only the right thing to strive for in my view but leads to profitable business outcome.
​
I began my working life running a 7th generation family farm. During the downtimes, I studied for my Ph.D. at Boston University in Anthropology and Cultural Theory. It seems I was meant to never be too far from "the field" work. I love what I do and I count this as a true blessing.
Why Me?
You'll benefit from my dedication to continuous learning and my enthusiasm for discovering new insights that can drive innovative solutions. I help you practice listening for the unsaid and overlooked as much as to what is expressed directly and immediately visible as you build your product, service, people, and business strategies. My commitment to fostering genuine human connections ensures a collaborative and empathetic approach to meeting your needs. I embrace diverse perspectives, which allows me to challenge assumptions and deliver creative, tailored solutions. My curiosity and collaborative nature will provide you with a partner who is deeply invested in your success and always eager to explore new opportunities for growth.
Why Engage Me?
I look at the challenges you face through the lens of Cultural Anthropology providing you with perspectives intended to inform better business decisions whether you are struggling to truly understand your organization's cultural dynamics beyond shared values, experimenting with new internal processes, challenged to overcome the inertia of legacy mindsets, or committed to fostering greater collaboration and creativity with and between teams through customized offsite workshops on thinking differently.
Why It's Important?
To represent human perspectives, provide informed insights, and shape business strategies. To act as a connector, mentor, and source of inspiration, guiding leaders with fresh perspectives.
