INNOVATION STATEMENT

WITHIN PARADOX IS POSSIBILITY. WHERE THE VOICE OF THE STAKEHOLDER AND THE INTENTION OF THE INNOVATOR INTERSECT, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF GREATER GOODNESS AND JOY IN THE WORLD.

 

PIVOTAL MOMENT

Needing to support my daughter on my own, while knowing I cannot set her up for resentment if I compromise my own path. Choosing to lead and speak up as an owner, knowing it would rock the boat and start a domino effect of change.

INTERESTS

Ways innovators balance the desire for stability with the requirement of change within teams. How to deliver both what is requested and what was never imagined before. What are methods for helping others explore tension points in a way that solves problems, vs creating polarities.

SUPERPOWERS

Getting to the heart of the matter. Getting to the point. Helping people feel loved. Stepping into the grey. Going big, being unencumbered by emotional or psychological risk.
