We start with your dreams, vision and Purpose, defining your ideal self*, and then you extend to action. When you know what you are here to accomplish, your Purpose, everything can move from that solid grounding. When you embody our capacity to be fully present, centered in your sensations, emotions, values, and purpose, you can act and lead from that place in compelling fashion.

This form of highly engaging, purpose-driven leadership presence can be practiced and improved through awareness exercises, noticing where we get hooked by old patterns, and trialing new, more effective ways of responding during real day-to-day challenges.

Whether you lead in the social sector, a corporation, a school, a sports team, your family, in your local or faith community, embodied leadership will help you bring about the future you envision.

What is climate healing? What is a sustainable future we seek for ourselves and our planet? Anyone who has been rocked by the steady cadence of news regarding climate disruption has felt a range of emotions including anger, despair, helplessness, and grief. We may be struggling with a sense of scarcity, urgency, or fear about the future.

You may be wondering, what can I or any one individual possibly do to affect this situation? The answer is waiting for you, and the world needs your purpose-driven leadership. Bearing witness, being present with our emotions can lead to compassionate action so we can heal ourselves and our world. What future do we dream of, what is our vision, and what steps can we take to get us there? Let’s discover all those things together.

“We argue that devastation is admittedly a growing possibility but not yet our inevitable fate. While the beginning of this period of human history has been indelibly and painfully marked, the full story has not been written. We still hold the pen. In fact, we hold it more firmly now than ever before. And we can choose to write a story of regeneration of both nature and the human spirit. But we have to choose.” — The Future We Choose: Surviving the Climate Crisis, by Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac.

Drawing on ~30 years of non-profit fundraising, private family foundation, and corporate funding experience to inform my work with families and individuals, we engage in a process of discovery that results in a statement of values, clarity on choice issue focus area(s), a theory of change, and a focused plan for impact, all documented in a personal or family giving strategy. As may be helpful, special emphasis is available on climate change mitigation and climate restoration technologies and approaches.
