For teams and organizations

Your people don't want another self-care workshop.
(Sorry, not sorry.)

But they are curious about how they can get better at self-leadership. I can help with that.

Keynote Speaking

Science-based talks on self-leadership, burnout and well-being, grounded in peer-reviewed research and three decades of practice. I hold a PhD in communication and an MFA in theatre, and I spent 33 years as a professor — so I know how to hold a room, and how to make it fun. Your people will leave with something they can use on Monday, not a handout they will never open again.

Team-Building Off-Sites

Teams build trust when they get out of the daily demands and think together. I offer team-building activities in self-leadership practices and facilitate strategic planning discussions, so your people come back aligned, not just rested. I am also trained in the MyHardWired, Myers-Briggs and emotional intelligence assessments, so we can add these as needed.

Culture Consulting

I have been honored to consult hundreds of organizations and government agencies on their well-being and workplace culture, and I trained graduate students in outcomes-driven program design. That means I can show you how to create a culture that promotes self-leadership and well-being — and how to measure that success.

You can't lead others well
