WORKSHOPS
PROVOCATIVE INSIGHTS, PRACTICAL TOOLS:
Developing or enhancing your PRODUCTs, programs, & services
My unique frameworks help leaders rethink their work so they can enhance it, grow it, and reach more people with it. It’s a mix of ideation, strategy, storytelling, and questioning.
In custom workshops, I help you:
Use science-backed strategies to discover untapped potential, including more benefits and applications of your work
Think outside siloes, traditions, and assumptions so you can re-see / re-view what you do: “beginner’s mind” and bottom-up;
Clarify and articulate your goals, values, and future direction(s);
Identify new opportunities and collaborations that ignite growth; and
Take bold action.

BEYOND STORYTELLING: *COMMUNICAte YOUR VALUE* & drive growth
Can you describe who you are and what you do, so that it truly connects with stakeholders? Are you clear on your “audience,” and the best tools for reaching them - from storytelling to data and beyond?
Using behavioral science, creativity, and years of praxis, I help leaders and organizations (re)define and communicate the value they offer.
My workshops have helped teams clarify goals and values, reimagine research & evaluation, pursue new partnerships, understand data, craft better messaging… and much more.
Curious? Reach out. Let’s make sure you know your value, and how to share it.
