Consultancy
Working as a consultant involves a range of skillsets depending on the organisational challenge or change process at play. This can differ from team to team, project to project, or sector to sector. There are so many contexts, ecologies, and dynamics that shape the nature of the task at hand. My job as a consultant is to primarily learn and understand what the purpose, problem, process, and/or people can tell us about what the rightsized solution might be. My job is then to guide leaders and support stakeholders in navigating their way through change - sometimes as a coach and sometimes as a critical friend. What you’ll experience with my consultation is my commitment to a quality of relationship that is honest and freeing, that can holds us through the stormy waters of uncertainty or oppression. You’ll experience my ability to actively, deeply, and empathically listen to what you share on the surface and what is going on for you underneath, described by many as a superpower skill of mine. Being a consultant is not an easy job when one loves what they do as much as I do. I hold my boundaries of being a consultant as a complicated yet sacred dance of what is my responsibility and what is your responsibility, what is our accountability and what is the collective accountability of the organisation, and what is within our capacity to change and transform in this moment with these people.
