It helps to get a little weird when you’re chasing a weird idea.
I'm a Gen X-er, late-diagnosed with ADHD. I spent a lot of my life trying to hide the ways I was different, and a lot of my more recent life unlearning that habit.
I'm a mother. One of my children has significant disability. That has shaped, in the most ground-level way, what I believe a humane system actually needs to look like.
I'm a runner when my knees cooperate, and a slightly sheepish fan of YA fantasy; dragons and witches, it turns out, are my jam.
Over the last ten or so years, I've learned to trust my own judgment, honor my needs, and let intuition and somatic knowing into the room where I make decisions, without putting research and analysis out.
I come at this work from two directions that seem, at first, like they don't belong together. That's the point.
I’m an organizational psychologist and spent thirteen years as a professor at leading business schools, teaching leadership and social innovation.
I also practice astrology, using the symbolism in a chart to prompt self-reflection.
Holding rigor and mystery in the same hand isn't a contradiction I've resolved. It's the practice itself.
My people are the ones who trust science and intellect and also take seriously the kinds of knowing that don't show up in Excel. If that's you, welcome.
