"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity." – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I help enrich our existence and foster a livelier livelihood by cultivating cultures of collaboration and resilience, as efficiently and effectively possible. A systems thinker, I analyze and synthesize data, find commonalities, and amplify strengths while creatively building capacity. I 'sow seeds of success' by facilitating necessary institutional, systemic and societal change while infusing insights gained from each person/story I have the pleasure to meet/hear in order to optimize outcomes and implement truly SOULstainable solutions. I Chiefly Empower Others to realize their full potential, and to build the framework they need to achieve their goals. I ensure businesses/orgs/teams run as efficiently and proactively as possible while ensuring the benefits outweigh the risks and the best interests of all people/stakeholders AND communities/environments affected are met.
