My Approach

 

Community is a group of individuals who share mutual concern for one another’s welfare.

I teach time tested principles and accessible tools that leaders can use right away anywhere to authentically bring people together for strength, resilience and adaptability.

When I work with leaders, my work shifts their vision so they can newly see both what is missing for a group to generate resilience, adaptability and innovation. They also newly recognize what is already in place that encourages stability and cooperation so that those elements can be protected. All the work is inspired or rooted in time tested principles that have bound people together for millenia through even existentially threatening time.

Unfortunately in this lonely era, there are many people who claim community expertise, but they’re really just using community language to extract time, attention and money from others. They brag about building communities, but they create lists, audiences and subscriptions. I call those mirage communities. I don’t do that. Real community always involves generosity.

I draw from three thousand years of spiritual traditions to teach leaders time-tested wisdom, principles and tools to create authentic and fulfilling cultures of resilience, belonging and connection in this extraordinarily lonely world.

We must respect the fundamental community principles and wisdom that carried untold generations before us to build the stronger, deeper, and meaningful relationships we seek. These relationships lead to profound maturity in our work - and in the world. They introduce resilience, adaptability and collaboration otherwise impossible.

Typically leaders working on high stakes outcomes in dynamic environments turn to my work. For example I’ve worked with Google thought leaders, military veterans and high ranking education institutions.

Despite more connection on digital platforms than ever before, society is experiencing unprecedented collective loneliness and a deep desire for belonging. Research indicates that everyone we know is living in the most lonely era of history.

In a desert, even a small watering pot can bring up flowers. I teach leaders what contemporary water pots look like and how we water when it matters.
