LATEST PROJECTS
Race & Social Justice
My work surrounding race and social justice tends to be with organizations on a periodic basis. That period may be weekly, monthly or annually. I also work with small groups for a one-time discussion to get them started in the subject.
Business & Profitability
The firms with which I have worked are usually seeking ways to improve some aspect of their business activities. Sometimes organizations want to change or establish culture, and request that I facilitate their plan for that. Often I am asked to analyze business activities and identify areas to increase efficiency and effectiveness. I usually respond by recommending work in three core areas: people, processes and profits.
Leadership
Whether I speak as a guest at a graduation or facilitate a discussion about how to lead, I always endorse the tenets of servant leadership, unless I am requested to focus on a different approach. When working with young people, I focus on their decisions and how they think, rather than telling them what to think.

Weekly Race Chats
Weekly Meeting Facilitator
At Lucky Dog Nation, we meet every week to discuss race in America. The conversations are tough, transparent and informative. We create a safe space and find the courage to ask tough questions of ourselves and each other. This work is necessary if we want to be a firm that is grounded in social justice efforts. We are showing up imperfectly and learning to speak up.
