Breaking Through
How might we build cultures of testing and transcending assumptions — individually and organizationally?
I work where new paradigms are trying to form, mature, and cross into legitimacy without losing themselves in the crossing.
A paradigm that takes consciousness seriously as fundamental rather than incidental. That treats intuitive, contemplative, and non-ordinary ways of knowing as legitimate sources of evidence. That holds space for experiences our current frameworks filter out: synchronicities, mystical states, extended perception, contact, healing at a distance. And that asks what institutions, research, and leadership look like when built on these foundations rather than in spite of them.
My attention is on how we come together in this territory. How fields present themselves: what they claim, what they refuse, what they protect. How the work stays faithful to the worldview it points toward. How bridges to philanthropy, academia, media, and leadership get built without flattening what matters.
I work across levels: with individual leaders, with organizations shaping how they operate from the inside, with fields and communities of practice finding their form, and with mainstream institutions seeking credible entry points. The mode, whether advisory, convening, partnership, or strategic counsel, takes shape case by case. I am available for engagements from strategic counsel at the leadership level to deeper work on how an organization operates, perceives, and convenes.
This work draws on nearly two decades of organizational strategy, design, and culture practice, including ChangeCraft, the global consulting firm I co-founded and co-led from 2010 to 2023. That practice sharpened everything I now bring to questions of how fields form and paradigms take hold.

What is the 'good' kind of organizational stretch and when does it go too far?
One-off solutions may help ease the pain, but the roots of these challenges are deeper: outmoded organizational structures are producing inhospitable and controlling workplaces.
It was a power trip, with philanthropy clearly in the driver's seat.
