Where the Work Has Traveled
Selected speaking, facilitation, teaching, and organizational engagements with institutions, movements, nonprofits, foundations, and learning communities.
The work of love, justice, healing, and organizational transformation takes many forms.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with leaders, organizations, institutions, and communities through keynote speaking, facilitation, organizational consulting, workshops, leadership development, conflict navigation, and movement learning.
The engagements below offer a glimpse of where this work has traveled — and the kinds of questions, challenges, and possibilities I’ve been invited to help people explore.
