PEOPLE
“Love doesn’t have goals or benchmarks or blueprints, but it does have a purpose. The purpose is not to change people…but to give them what they need to thrive. Love’s purpose is not to shape [people’s] destiny, but to help them shape their own. It isn’t to show them the way, but to help them find a path for themselves…”
—Alison Gopnik
People & community are the key to meaningful change
We cannot create meaningful change in the world unless we know people—how to connect with them, how to empathize with them, how to build trust with them, how to cultivate a sense of belonging and community with them. No algorithm can do this for us, this is a gift that humans bring into this world. And while humans are not the only beings at the center of my work, they hold the key to orchestrating incredible impact on the world.
My work with people takes many forms:
Cultivating community -owned -and -driven initiatives that can stand the test of time.
Leading community-building workshops to revive a deepened sense of connectedness and purpose amongst teams and groups.
Designing deeply purposeful and human-centered solutions for businesses, non-profits, and community initiatives.
Unlocking and co-creating an individual’s personal career story to frame to potential employers.
Mentoring entrepreneurs through the beginning and scaling of their businesses.
