You are the vehicles to create powerful change in the world.

As a business and organization you have a special role in society. How you work impacts your employees and the communities you are in. What you do and what you create are products of a group of individuals – you can make something little, or you can make something dynamic that will reflect your greatest potential and have a meaningful impact on your customers and constituents.

I’ve never known a business to fail because of a bad idea – it’s always a people problem at the core. My work with businesses and organizations is to help you develop the potential of your employees and executives, create cohesive teams with a shared vision, resolve blocks, bring in new perspectives around problem-solving and increase your ability to create and innovate.

Creativity scores have been dropping in the United States over the last twenty years*. Without creativity, innovation can’t occur. Working with the imagination stimulates the creative process and expands the spectrum of creative potential.

Executives and organizations who hire me have questions such as:

  • How can we find meaningful direction for our goals?
  • What is our true vision as an organization? Do our employees share this vision?
  • How can we increase teamwork and fluidity in our employees?
  • How can we increase the creativity of our team members?
  • How do we become more innovative?
  • Does what we do matter, and if not how do we change it?
  • Where do we go from here?
  • How can the workplace be more relevant to my employees?

I work with all sizes and types of businesses and organizations. I am especially interested in helping the visions of social entrepreneurs, non-profits and advocacy organizations, and businesses who want to, or already see, their work as meaningfully contributing to the betterment of a more positive and collaborative world.

My rates vary depending on the type of work that we decide is best suited for your needs. It may be working individually with your employees and executives, conducting small workshops with teams or departments, addressing specific needs through a focused work-group session, or larger overview workshops or speaking engagements. It may even be a combination of these.

There are five techniques that may be used: imagery, dreams, dream openings, waking dreams and StoryOpenings™. StoryOpenings™ is a method I developed for working with businesses and organizations based upon dream opening techniques, and adapted for identifying and understanding an organization’s vision. Storyopening is specifically a multi-step method that is taught in a one-day workshop. I also will teach the primary practice of Reversing.
