Consulting & ADVISORY
Leaders and organizations invite me in when they need to think differently. Together, we uncover hidden assumptions, reframe challenges, examine their work, and design new pathways to impact. My work blends behavioral science, creativity research, and cross-sector experience to help organizations grow their reach, relevance, and results.
Ways We Can
Work together
Speaking & Workshops
For conferences, leadership retreats, or team development sessions, I deliver keynotes and workshops that inspire and equip audiences to think bigger. My talks have guided and energized leaders at SXSW, the US Conference of Mayors, Google Xi, and forward-thinking organizations around the world.

Consulting & Custom Partnerships
Many organizations come to me for consulting and advisory support. They need a thought partner to co-design strategy, evaluate impact, translate research into practice, or facilitate cross-sector collaboration.
These engagements are highly customized and may involve:
Turning behavioral science into actionable organizational strategies
Combining creativity and science to enhance product/service development
Designing creative, incisive studies (research & evaluation)
Helping leadership teams build dynamic mental health and co-creative practices
Tailored strategies specific to each org’s vision
Every consulting relationship begins with a conversation about your goals, context, and constraints. From there, we build the right approach together.

MY APPROACH
Most of us know someone who loves taking things apart — radios, cars, computers — so they can explore all the parts and make something new.
That’s what my brain does with concepts. With norms, beliefs, products, services, and industries.
The truth is, I never just see a radio (metaphorically speaking). The scientist in me sees its parts.
And the artist in me sees the different ways those parts could be assembled. It sees the parts that could be added, and the new things we could make if we got creative.
That’s why, for two decades, I've spearheaded innovative work — combining creativity, science, and systems thinking to forge new connections, challenge assumptions, and make the world a better place.
I want to help you do the same.
❔What if someone could break you out of your usual way of thinking — about your organization, your product or service, your role, your industry?
❔What if you could re-see your work and its “parts” ...and then imagine new connections?
What would you create?
What solutions might you find?
Creativity isn’t just about art and expression.
It’s a mindset that sparks leadership and change.
The Creative Mindset helps you get clear on What Is, so you can create a better Next.
This is what I help clients do.
What might our work together look like?
It’s science-based, creative as heck … and tailored to each client.
Applying research-backed frameworks, I’ve guided orgs of all sizes in:
➖Recognizing assumptions and limiting beliefs (what if your service/product is MORE than you think it is?),
➖Tapping hidden potential (have you been playing small?),
➖Exploring ways to story-tell (are you communicating your value?),
➖Identifying new partners and customers (who have you missed?), and
➖Creating the innovative work that sets you apart.
Here’s what I know:
