Promoting Humanity
by building strong bridges and healthy boundaries in relationships
People are now deeply divided - nationally, globally, personally, and interpersonally. Whether we feel isolated, estranged, or uncertain, many of us recognize the need for a larger conversation on how to improve things. As Terry Tempest Williams has said:
“Finding beauty in a broken world is creating beauty in the world we find.”
Reflecting on this quote, the best contribution I can make is to shine light on the things I know: how to strengthen relationships – whether as leaders, friends, family members, neighbors.
I hope you’ll sign up for insight and inspiration.

About Me
My life’s work has centered on recognizing and honoring the human spirit. The greatest joy I’ve had has come from helping people discover their own greatness. I’ve watched the power of this transform their relationships and fuel their success.
My bio includes creating, designing, and leading university executive programs, publishing widely in professional articles and books, and extensive teaching and public speaking.
I have been both seeker and guide in transformative professional work by supporting personal growth. Along the way, I have learned as much from others as I have been able to share.
