Clarity in Complexity. Strategy with Soul.
I help leaders and teams make better decisions—especially when the challenge is complex, the stakes are high, and the answers aren’t obvious. These offerings are built to meet complexity with clarity—whether through labs, workshops, coaching, or consulting.
🧭 Strategic Insight Labs
When the path forward is unclear, Insight Labs offer structured clarity. These facilitated sessions are designed to align decision-makers, surface hidden assumptions, and generate actionable insights fast. Each lab blends tools from systems thinking, marketing strategy, and behavioral insight to help teams make progress on complex, high-stakes decisions—whether you’re launching an initiative, shifting direction, or just trying to get unstuck.
Best for: Leadership teams navigating ambiguity, new product/service strategy, stakeholder alignment sessions.
Format: Half-day to multi-day sessions, remote or in-person.

A mid-sized professional services firm was struggling with internal misalignment on a major new offering. Leadership sensed opportunity, but progress stalled as different stakeholders interpreted the strategy differently—or not at all.
We designed and facilitated a two-day Strategic Insight Lab. Day one surfaced the unspoken assumptions and mental models held by different leaders. Day two focused on aligning shared priorities and translating them into a roadmap that clarified next steps.
Within three weeks, the team had launched a pilot version of the offering with clearly defined roles, metrics, and a shared story they could tell both internally and externally.
Let’s Align Your Strategy🌀 Wicked Problem Workshops
Some challenges don’t have clear answers. Wicked Problem Workshops are designed for exactly those moments—when the stakes are high, the issues are entangled, and simple solutions make things worse. We use frameworks like the Cynefin model to reframe, realign, and explore adaptive paths forward. These sessions are part training, part facilitation, part guided sense-making—always practical, never theoretical.
Best for: Cross-functional challenges, sustainability dilemmas, long-term planning, values tensions.
Format: Custom-designed workshops (typically 1–2 days), with pre/post consultation.

A nonprofit coalition working on urban resilience brought together diverse stakeholders—government, community leaders, environmental scientists, and funders. Each came with different goals, values, and vocabularies. Progress had stalled for over a year.
We led a custom-designed Wicked Problem Workshop, built around the Cynefin framework and complexity-based facilitation tools. Instead of forcing consensus, the session helped participants see the problem differently—recognizing multiple truths, shifting from “solutioning” to adaptive exploration.
Outcomes included new working groups, a shared map of strategic priorities, and a recommitment to a multi-year funding path. Several participants later said the session “changed how we approach every other meeting.”
Let’s Untangle Your Challenges📊 Data Storytelling for Decision-Makers
Your data is only as good as the story it tells. We help clients move beyond dashboards to craft compelling data stories that inform, persuade, and drive decisions. Drawing from cognitive psychology, visual analytics best practices, and years of hands-on experience, we show how to present complex insights with clarity and confidence. Services range from one-on-one coaching to full team capability-building.
Best for: Boardroom reporting, strategy updates, ESG storytelling, public-facing data communications.
Format: Workshops, coaching, or project-based consulting.

A Fortune 500 sustainability team was struggling to communicate their ESG metrics in a way that resonated with internal stakeholders. Their dashboards were accurate—but unread, misunderstood, or ignored.
Over four sessions, we helped the team reframe their reporting around audience needs, decision-making moments, and simple narrative structures. We worked directly in Tableau to refine visualizations and coached senior leaders on delivery techniques.
After rollout, internal engagement with their ESG data increased dramatically—leading to better-informed decisions, more collaborative goal-setting, and interest from external partners in adapting the story for public-facing use.

We offer an approach that is pragmatic, pressure-tested, and tailored to your context.
Best for: ESG integration, sustainability leadership, stakeholder strategy, DEI alignment.
Format: Strategy sessions, facilitation, or ongoing advisory.

A global manufacturing company wanted to embed ESG and stakeholder trust into its core strategy—but wasn’t sure where to begin. They had initiatives in place, but no coherent framework or consistent language.
We began with executive listening sessions, followed by strategy co-design workshops with mid-level leaders across departments. Using systems thinking and materiality mapping, we helped the client identify high-impact leverage points and develop a clear narrative of responsible growth.
Six months later, the company had revised its mission, created an internal “responsibility council,” and published its first integrated stakeholder strategy report.
