About Us
“Humble Inquiry is the fine art of drawing someone out, of asking questions
to which you do not already know the answer,
of building a relationship based on curiosity and interest in another person.”
― Edgar H. Schein, Humble Inquiry: The Gentle Art of Asking Instead of Telling

Always Listening
What do we need to know? Where do we want to begin?
Always Learning
What are we hearing, With whom are we engaging,, what information or data do we need to review, what community or corporate values are essential to us and to our stakeholders, what might we be missing?
Always Helping
How do we take what we have learned and make real-time, actionable decisions that will move our organization in the direction it must go? What are the results we need, and how do we get there, together?

My passion is to see people and institutions thrive. I have been privileged to work with a variety of public and private organizations in my tenure in higher education, for-profit and non-profits in my 40 years of service.
I have held a variety of leadership positions—including
- VP for Strategy and Planning with a nationally recognized higher education market research, planning and communications firm,
- Vice President for Professional Development & Research for a national faith-based higher education association,
- Vice President for Academic Affairs of a selective private liberal arts college,
- Department chair and faculty member (political science) at two colleges, and an advancement officer at a private college.
In my consulting practice, I have been privileged to work with great leaders and organizations from over 100 institutions.
In each case, we help leaders clarify their goals and objectives so that they and their colleagues might achieve greater success. We provide strategic support to ensure the accomplishment of their goals and objectives.
