MY STORY
I am an entrepreneur, an executive coach, and a youth and adult leadership educator. I am a Managing Partner at Generative Leadership Consulting; I serve as the CEO and chairperson of DESCO Service; I am the founder of Lead Yourself Youth; the Principal of Venture Way Collaborative; and am a co-founder of The Women’s Collaborative. I thrive when people of all ages, races, and genders are in a dialogue together, and believe that the only way toward systemic change is by bringing all community stakeholders together to create change together.
In my leadership and coaching, I work with people to develop a grounded and powerful presence rooted in what drives them. This starts with creating awareness of how people see themselves. That awareness then creates choice to move differently in the world. The root of all these conversations is care. What are we taking care of? What needs more care? A common missing piece in the leaders, parents and kids I work with is: ourselves.
I work with teams , organizations, and communities. I have multiple certifications that combine neuro-linguistics, mindfulness, emotional literacy and somatics. This approach facilitates the embodiment of leadership rather than learning about leadership passively as a concept. Just like a sports performance coach, in order to become a winning athlete, current habits of performance are examined and assessed before the embodiment of new habits begins. When we become aware of our response, we have choice in how we engage.

Venture Way Collaborative is a space where community stakeholders come together to work, learn, & explore. We do this in a variety of ways:
-
Through collaborative conversations. If you are committed to creating thriving workplace cultures where there is high trust and psychological safety, even if you don’t know how to produce that, we invite you to be in conversations with us.
-
Through renting space at 200 Venture Way in Hadley, MA. Those who rent here are creating offers together. The commitment we bring is increasing consciousness so that organizations and community are human-centered.
-
Through reaching out and inviting us to a conversation. Our “Out in the Open” event is our way of inviting you to be in conversation to make big things happen together.
We are committed to bringing intergenerational collaborative learning and diversity to organizational cultures.
