Personal Details

Bio

Founder of Open Channel Culture, I’m an educational psychologist, leadership coach, author, workshop facilitator, TEDx and keynote speaker.

For 3 decades I have worked with thousands of leaders and teams specializing in organizational culture---developing essential human skills and systems needed to flourish now and into the emerging future.

This includes partnership with responsible technologies and alignment with Sustainable development goals.

My passion is Adaptive Leadership ---supporting organizations that thrive in the midst of global uncertainty by building skills and systems for effective communication, creative engagement, conflict management, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

I work with businesses and educational institutions through 1:1 coaching, workshops, seminars, motivational talks, keynotes, and bespoke training programs.

Stardust and the Potential of Human Uniqueness

During this mass exiting of employees essential for growing and sustaining flourishing businesses, it is more vital than ever for reimaging how we are operating with the talent we have and the talent that we want to attract.

How are your systems and culture designed to optimize personal and collective intelligence and skills? How are the habits of your organization built to include and utilize your people’s talents for greater impact and innovation? How can this be applied with our partners, clients, and customers?

In this talk, we explore and explain the basic elements for learning to recognize, appreciate and utilize unique talents that can provide unexpected wins in our profits and in our people–revolutionizing how we do business while we align our business life with our personal lives.

We learn to:
*Retain & optimize talent for organizational health
*Attract new talent for increased sales
*Turbocharge innovation & creativity
*Align professional & personal life
