My most satisfying consulting moments happen when I am facilitating a group of people to bring a vision of social change to reality. Every engagement is unique because every group is driven by their specific passion for equity and social justice. Every group has a distinct set of skills and resources from which to innovate for their unique community. I am grateful for those who do not let the complexity of the social challenges that confront us limit what they believe is possible. Working alongside congregations, nonprofits, and institutions of higher ed for over twenty years, I have acquired a diverse toolkit with which to guide your team as you implement the vision for social change that compels you!
I am eager to learn about your project.
