LEADERSHIP COACHING + CONSULTING

Lead through change by changing how you do leadership: humanfully.

If I could name the most profound underlying current that’s come out of the turbulence of the past few years, it would be this: a desire to return to our whole humanity. The full spectrum of it.

We need healthy, happy leaders + systems to support healthy, happy humanity on a healthy, happy planet.

Turns out, that takes upleveled skills and some paradigm-shifting—not just business as usual.

That’s where I come in.

I help game-changers offer your leadership in service of cultural transformation.

Permitting yourself to be wholly human is an evolutionary gift: to yourself, and to the world. And, it’ll be what separates us from the robots—bonus! This is the heart of “humanful.”

It’s time to reimagine leadership.

The path of “humanful” leadership—leading from a stance of alignment with values, collaboration, trust, and—gasp!—pleasure, requires us to:

• REDEFINE POWER. Power dynamics are what get in the way of feeling safety + trust in connection. We need a better relationship with power. Let’s craft one.

  
  

• PRACTICE PARTNERSHIP. Authentic, collaborative connection is effective: it helps us feel vibrant and fulfilled, and ensures we act in integrity + partnership for all parties. And, it takes skill. Let’s uplevel yours.

  
  

• PRIORITIZE PLEASURE. Healthy, balanced pleasure is feedback technology for healthy, happy humans. Let’s do more of it. Yes, even at work. How r/evolutionary!

Power, partnership, pleasure: This is the alignment system I use to help you discover your signature leadership stance. This takes new awareness, new skills, and practice.

If you’re here, you’re someone who wants to use your gifts in service of moving the needle—not just maneuver better in the old game.

Self-discovery is the first step towards organizational evolution. Healthy systems start with healthy, happy humans. Using your self-awareness to meet the needs of evolving humans + organizations is the evolution of leadership.

To step into the new paradigm of effective leadership, you need upleveled skills and the courage to act on them. I can help.

Why Work With Me?

What sets me apart is that I am a systems-thinker working with individuals—which means I focus not just on individual leadership skills, but the systems and environment within which we operate.

These systems influence us—they can make it easier or harder to be a humanful leader. Individual self-development isn’t the whole game—we need to evolve our systems to support us, as well.

I create a trustworthy container where we can have open conversations about:

• corporate culture and how it needs to evolve

• emotional intelligence

• healing hierarchy

• value + values

• the mainstream culture of masculinity—for all genders

• ego

• individual nervous system patterns and how they play out systemically

• human health + happiness—as individuals, as a collective, and as Earthlings.

We influence and are influenced by these systems in every part of our lives.

The problem is, we haven’t talked about them in the context of the workplace—they’ve largely been relegated to the realm of self-development.

Guess what?

There is no leadership development without self-discovery.

If you’re not growing as a person, you’re not growing as a leader—because leadership is about humans.

There is no healthy organizational change or culture without healthy leaders who have done some self-development.

If you aren’t doing this, you’re just performing leadership, not embodying it.

So… Let’s connect the dots and have these conversations so you can be a leader who creates healthy cultures + systems.

I teach skills, ask you to dive deep, and provide support as you rediscover your personal mission—no matter what title is on your business card.

In our private coaching sessions, you’ll develop the tools, awareness, and courage that will help you:

• know what aligned power means to you—in relationship with others

• experience what deep, authentic connection feels like

• connect the dots to how you are in partnership with everyone and everything…

…so you become a role model and a catalyst for others to do the same.

This allows you to lead from your true nature: this is how you make an impact FOR the world, not just on it.

This is the stance of collaboration, not domination. It is way more fun, and way more human.

But why bother?

Let me be real: We need to shift from a culture of domination + obedience to one of curiosity + collaboration.

The beauty of upleveling our skills is that it ripples out to ALL realms of our lives—because it is the path of being fully human. Humanful.

The era of the dominating authority figure is in its last gasps. We know there’s a more interesting, more effective, more humanful way to lead, and we know it’s way past time we stepped up to embody this type of leadership: whether we’re leading a team, a family, a community, or ourselves.

But it takes awareness, new skills, and a whole lot o’ courage to lead from a stance of deep collaboration, partnership, and connection.

Domination takes zero skill. It doesn’t have to have any, it uses fear, authority, coercion, manipulation, and arbitrary systems of reward + punishment to get the job done. Those who still embody this outdated paradigm do so because they don’t yet have the awareness, skill, or courage to lead better. But you can.

You are meant to discover your signature leadership stance so you can connect with others from a real place—not from behind your masks.

Masks require conformity and erasure, which requires domination. Masks are a fertile breeding ground for isolation and imposter syndrome. This is disastrous.

We are all suffering the consequences of inauthenticity, in ourselves and in others. But it can be difficult to reveal our truest selves in cultures that love conformity.

Know this: in expressing your true nature, you set an example of possibility for others to do the same, and you feel the power and pleasure of connecting authentically with others, with yourself, and with the world. This is the basis for any safe, respectful relationship—and any workplace.

When the need of knowing yourself is met—a core human drive—you are able to connect from a place of collaboration, opportunity, and emergence—not homogenization.

Life becomes a pattern of choosing the pleasure of true leadership + connection rather than avoiding the pitfalls of inauthentic leadership + connection. This may seem like a nuance, but it matters.

Many good people self-select themselves out of leadership roles because being inauthentic feels awful—but being authentic in conformity culture has consequences.

And, many good people end up being mediocre leaders, or “alone at the top,” when they choose inauthenticity in order to fit into the old paradigm of leadership, rather than embodying what healthy leadership means for them. I offer a pathway out of this catch-22.

The journey of humanful leadership—of claiming your role as a creator of a healthy, human self who fosters the health and humanity of others—is not for you alone; this is for us all.

Why “humanful”?

I like to make up words. I am a gamechanger, after all. To me, when we are filled to overflowing with our own humanity—feeling empowered, aligned, in integrity, supported, connected, pursuing our passions and purpose in reciprocity with the world—we want nothing more than to share that with everyone and everything. Being full of the full spectrum of our humanity—humanful—inspires us to be generous, compassionate, vibrant, creative, curious—and I happen to think a world full of that would make this planet a more healthy + pleasureful place for everyone. If you feel similarly, I’d love to connect!
