Consulting
Some things can't be fixed from a stage.
A talk can name what your people are carrying. Consulting is where we do something about it. I work alongside organizations that are serious about supporting the people who make every day possible.
That work looks like strategic planning, program development, training design, leadership development, recovery systems, and building trauma-informed practice that reaches the people doing the work, not just the people they serve.
The Lotus Leadership Framework
People don't leave jobs because they stopped caring. They leave because caring became too heavy to carry alone. The Lotus Leadership Framework helps leaders build workplaces where people feel like they're cared for so that they can stay and grow.
It's built on six principles drawn from the lotus, which grows through the mud instead of waiting for clean water:
Rise Above the Mud:
Name what's really draining your people.
Stay Rooted While Reaching Up:
Grow people without pulling them from the mission
and passion that brought them in.
Open in the Light:
Create a psychologically safe environment for
everyone. Make good work seen and make it safe to
speak up.
Close in the Dark:
Stay focused on the mission, while protecting rest
and self-care as a policy, not a just a check box, but
as a system wide practice.
Emerge Pure and Untouched:
Lead with fairness and integrity so no one has to
work against their values and morals. Navigate
tough decision and situations with authenticity and
transparency.
Bloom at Your Own Pace:
Give people room to grow in ways that fit them,
even if it means leaving a position.
How we work together: We start by listening to your people. Then I work alongside your leaders, one principle at a time, to put small practices in place that last.
Every organization's mud is different. Let's start with a conversation.
