My vision: To create spaces where we all belong. My mission: Equip leaders and movement makers with tools to practice everyday inclusion, disrupt the status quo and create equitable outcomes. How? I create spaces and practices to learn/unlearn so that me and you can ‘disrupt the -isms’ and create the equitable, inclusive organizations and communities we want to see. I do this through designing learning experiences, practices for the every day actions, and sparking conversations that foster awareness and bridge differences across diverse styles and beliefs so we can be human with each other. I bring over 30 years of experience in learning and leadership development where I support organizations in capacity building to cultivate inclusive environments, lead transformational change and develop as inclusive leaders. I bring a multidisciplinary, co-creation approach to designing learning and development experiences that is built on design thinking, cognitive science, social psychology, and adult learning theories.
