About Me
I bring decades of experience guiding individuals, families, and organizations through difficult conversations. With a Master’s in Social Work and certifications in mediation and professional coaching, my work blends practical skill with deep respect for human relationships
Whether it’s within families, workplaces, or community organizations, I believe that conflict, when handled well, can lead to clarity, growth, and stronger bonds.
For over 25 years, I worked at the intersection of adult learning, organizational development, culture change, and labour relations, both in corporate environments and as a consultant across industries. Those experiences taught me how organizations really function: the formal structures, the informal dynamics, and the hidden tensions that can stall progress. Today, I bring that depth to mediation, coaching, and facilitation, supporting my clients in creating solutions that produce better employee engagement (your people enjoy coming to work and working together), driving the results expected of them. (And going the extra mile when it’s called for!)
Some people meet me at critical moments of conflict, but just as often we meet when they’re ready to grow, to realign, or to find a healthier way of working together.
Conflict resolution, cultural competence, and organizational development aren’t separate silos of my work – they’re interconnected pathways that help people move from confusion to clarity; from friction to flow. Fundamental requirements for organizations to be able to deliver on their promises.
About My Zebra Logo
- Every organization, every team, and every family has its own unique pattern – its history, its culture, its dynamics. That’s why my work is never formulaic. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. My solutions are always tailored to the specific shape of the people and systems I’m working with.
- Conflict, cultural tensions, or organizational misalignment may show up as one problem on the surface, but deeper issues are usually at play. My role is to help uncover those hidden dynamics – the root causes and the inherent strengths – so that solutions aren’t just quick fixes, but long-term transformations.
Those zebra stripes remind us that what we see at first glance may not be the whole story.
Reading between the lines helps us uncover the hidden dynamics, patterns, and opportunities that we can use to resolve disagreements and to continue learn things that improve how we live and work together.
Not everything is as it seems, and the solutions you’re searching for might be hiding in plain sight. Together, we’ll bring clarity to complexity, reveal the unseen, and chart a path to meaningful, sustainable success.
Let’s explore the shadows between the stripes together.
If you’re ready to find clarity, resolve challenges, or build something better, let’s start the conversation.
I’d love to explore how we can work together to create the positive, lasting change you’ve been dreaming about.
