Team Development
Helping teams work smarter, collaborate effectively, and achieve meaningful results.
Help Your Team Get Unstuck
Even the most brilliant, mission-driven teams hit rough patches. Confusion about priorities, communication breakdowns, trust that needs repair.
I help teams work through these moments and come out stronger, more connected, and more effective.
I’ve been in your shoes, leading teams through rapid growth, resource constraints, and shifting priorities. My background in government, startups, and social impact work means I bring practical, field-tested tools (not just theory) to help your team move forward.
How To Work With Me
I design and facilitate custom sessions to help teams reduce friction, increase trust, and move forward with clarity.
Team Development Workshops
Build stronger collaboration, align on expectations, and improve team health using tools like DiSC®, The Five Behaviors®, and working-in-the-open practices.
Ideal for: new teams forming, seasoned teams in transition, or groups navigating tension or change.Facilitated Offsites & Retreats
Step back to zoom out. These sessions help teams align on purpose, reconnect as humans, and create space to think differently about what’s next.Leadership Team Alignment
Focused sessions for executive or cross-functional teams to get clear on roles, decision-making, and how to lead in a more coordinated way.
I also offer low-cost "starter" packages designed to give you a quick pulse on team dynamics and a clear path forward.
