I have been successfully cultivating a culture of learning and development at Middlebury Natural Foods Co-op for over 18 years. Combining my skills and experience as Human Resources Manager with my professional training in mediation and coaching and my MA in Comparative Education, I have been able to bring experiential leadership training to all levels of leaders: senior leaders, leadership teams, shift leaders, and first-time leaders. I draw upon the wisdom of Brené Brown, Resmaa Menakem, Peter Senge, and David Whyte among others to bring you the latest leadership practices and give you the tools to transform your organization.
Having spent my lifetime exploring adult development I have discovered learning is as essential as unlearning. Noticed the impact of thinking that is expansive versus limiting. Experienced the strain when communication goes sideways. Witnessed first-hand what transpires when people feel seen and heard. Felt the ripple effect of an intentional leader on a team, a workplace, and community.
Culture isn’t a backdrop painted on a workplace wall. It is active and relational. Individuals create it and shape it daily. It includes what is openly talked about as well as what is whispered, what is noticed and what is ignored. What is the impact on those around you? What is the impact on you?
