Connection Works

I spend a lot of time thinking about culture -- org culture, American culture, my own "life culture" and others. They intersect and influence each other and I am endlessly curious about how this shapes people's behavior. And how it impacts people's sense of connection and fulfillment. Here are a few thoughts -- may they support you in your efforts to navigate all the cultures you participate in.

How to tend to your organization's culture — Connection Works I have had the joy of doing a lot of organizational culture work these days. In fact, one organization I worked with this last year just won best place to work on the west coast in its industry and size. It is so energizing and fulfilling to work with leaders who invest in culture buil

If you are a seeker -- of purpose, of meaning, of learning -- this workshop is for you.

There is always more to discover about ourselves and how we can create a life that is a reflection of who we are and what deeply matters to us.

We are "works in progress" and yet there is a deep "core" self that is always present. This core self -- or, soul self -- is deeper than our personalities and myriad identities.

Come spend an hour with me and other seekers on Wednesday!
I'll share how I've used the concepts of soul (not in a religious way) and identity as well as a tool called Identity Mapping® to help me connect to my core self and have it guide my life.

Away at conference this week and weekend at Skamania Lodge with my leadership development and org development friends and colleagues.

I am so grateful for the privilege to be here. I have so many things cooking in me regarding my business and how I want to engage with clients so this is feeling so timely. Stay tuned...

Away at conference this week and weekend with my leadership development and org development peeps...what an inspiring place for reflection, reconnection, and renewal. I'm feeling so grateful for the privilege this is and to have the space to deepen and forward some things I'm thinking about when it comes to partnering with clients. Stay tuned....

Fifteen years ago, I did the work to unearth and articulate my soul's purpose. It unlocked a ton of insight -- why work I was good at was hard and unsatisfying, why I struggled to share my gifts, and why choices that seemed good on paper weren't right deep down.

In this workshop, we’ll be covering:

💡How the concepts of soul and identity help guide us in our efforts to recognize who we uniquely are at our core

💡What causes us to lose connection with and/or not trust what we know to be true about ourselves

💡How to recognize when your true, core self is speaking to you or wanting to guide the way

💡What an Identity Map is and how it helps you clarify your soul’s purpose and gifts

💡One step you can take to immediately clarify a piece of your Identity Map

The energetic aspects of our needs and presence make all the difference in how we experience ourselves and how others experience us. I'm learning this has a lot to do with whether I am telling myself the truth about things & really being with the consequences of that truth. Sometimes there are no words - I just feel the reverberations of the "gong of truth". When I navigate by the truth, the path forward is clearer (which, BTW, does NOT mean comfortable).

Are you feeling tired? Tired from the pandemic, from the hustle and bustle of every day life?

Are you looking to slow down? To take stock? To sense into what's really important?

To connect to what matters?

We'd like to invite you into a wonderful retreat at the Whidbey Institute October 1 - 3rd to renew, refresh, and connect.
