I believe everyone has the capacity to have an innovator’s mindset. If you ask me what this mindset is, I’d say it’s not only big-picture thinking, but the mental flexibility to reframe, pivot or hone a process as new information becomes clear.
Innovation is Growth.
Let me take this a step further. I’ve successfully created businesses in nonprofit consulting and the retail sector, and I’ve learned from each experience – both what works and what doesn’t. Did I make mistakes along the way? So…many…mistakes! After years (and a wealth of lessons) as an entrepreneur, I’m able to support others working on their chosen pursuits without undermining the independent thinking that got them here.
I’m also a working creative. I feel the ups and downs in my process keenly. Navigating into a flow state is a constant pursuit. So is responding to rejection and weeding out constructive feedback from the voice of detractors, even the detractor’s voice within ME.
I’m fascinated by people’s minds and the ways we harness the internal drive that fuels us toward where we want to go. I’ve studied neuroplasticity, somatic healing, flow and the creative process, as well as the growing science around the ways psychedelics can support mental health and development.
I’m ACC certified through the International Coaching Federation as well as a Certified Mentor Coach (CMC). I hold an MA in Staff Development and also an MFA in Creative Writing. I’m also a Certified Psychedelic Coach through the Psychedelic Coaching Institute.
