I am perpetually searching for places of raw solitude where more often I find raw people — beautiful, imperfect, glowing. I’m always asking the hard questions about human’s vexed relationship with their ecology. I have taken people into the farthest corners of the globe to construct deep maps of place, self, and grief, and helped grow a new generation of ethically engaged leaders as faculty at the National Outdoor Leadership School, Eagle Rock School And Professional Development Center, United World Colleges, and Wilderness Inquiry. As a coach I use emotion to engage genius. I cultivate vulnerability, empathy and compassion in my clients and students. I am chanting always: commit without guarantees; we are worthy of love and connection. And trying to cary others along in that chant too. + I have worked one-on-one with leaders giving speeches to crowds of over 5000 to build a clear and concise message, a cohesive keynote, and a powerful stage presence that speaks for itself. + I coach people beyond stagnation and self-sabotage towards manifesting and actualizing their best selves. + I have coached clients into more functional work relationships with more compassion, empathy, understanding, and clearer communication. + I have worked with companies to develop their image, their brand, and their "why." If you don't start with your "why" you'll never find your "how."
