my promise

My strength lies in the sweet spot between intuition and strategy, connecting the two to make ideas and plans come to life.
 

I promise to listen.

Always tuned in to the human side of organizational dynamics, I take great care to hear what is going on—above ground and below the surface, finding ways to help people and organizations make sense of their contributions and be part of solutions. Listening wisely gives me the insight to find common ground and build on strengths.

I promise to think creatively.

Looking towards a compelling vision while paying close attention to nuance brings clarity. My unwavering faith in values-based decision making, understanding of organizational dynamics and deep knowledge of communication fosters creative, resourceful solutions focused on possibilities.

I promise to find potential amidst complexity.

Needling through ambiguity or controversy to gain a sharp, crisp picture brings meaning, wisdom and understanding. I believe in fostering harmony and tackling tough issues with courage and through thought-provoking questions that drive action.

I promise to deliver results.

Engaging people and delivering plans only matters if it results in something real, something tangible, something relevant. What I offer is purposeful, pragmatic and built on experience and evidence. It will translate into solid, measureable outcomes.

stepping out

The locale where fabrics are imagined and created seem to fit the context perfectly. Colour and pattern in Nairobi, florals and glam in Karachi, light and airy in Trinidad. We tend to don what seems right for our context. Often though, we get stuck in what is regular and comfortable. But taking a chance to try on something  different—maybe a little bolder, maybe a little softer—makes us stretch, test those boundaries. I combine facilitation, engagement, communication and planning to help leaders and organizations step out with finesse and confidence.
