Courage
I nurture courage as an essential practice in tackling complex societal problems. It shows up in setting ambitious goals, exploring untested solutions, being vulnerable enough to ask for help, and embracing the risk of failure. I draw daily inspiration from my clients' courage, as together we face challenges that matter.

Humor
While our work is meaningful and often urgent, I cultivate humor as a vital force for creativity and resilience. It helps me hold intensity lightly, connect more authentically with others, and bring joy to the journey. When we can laugh together, we can work better together.

Teamwork
I thrive on collaborative energy and seek to build strong partnerships founded on mutual trust and respect. Whether working with task forces, committees, coalitions, or individual clients, I cherish how shared purpose and collective wisdom can transform possibilities into achievements.

Flexibility & Agility
The best plans evolve with changing circumstances. I cultivate the ability to spot needed adjustments, embrace new opportunities, and pivot strategies when the situation demands it.

Smarts
I embrace intellectual curiosity and continuous learning, approaching each project as an opportunity to grow. By combining open-mindedness with experience, I seek to discover new perspectives and insights that enrich both the work and my understanding.

Love
I consciously cultivate love as a powerful force in my work - love for the missions that drive us, love for the collaborative journey with clients, and deep appreciation for those dedicated to public service. This kind of professional love fuels commitment, strengthens partnerships, and reminds us why our work matters.
