Changing Work

Changing Work is a movement deeply committed to revolutionizing the dynamics of the workplace from within.

Our Vision is to Change Work from the Inside Out.

Essentially, to make work a more humane, conscious, and nurturing environment that promotes personal growth, self-awareness, and compassion, while delivering value to all stakeholders. 

We recognize that profitability is important, and that it comes with a need for balance not only for shareholders, but for employees, customers, and the broader global community. A world that works for everyone.
Our Mission is to Elevate conscious business practices through community and best practice sharing.

Changing Work is a collective of business leaders, employees, and consultants. 

Fundamentally, we do two things. 

First, we build community. There’s something incredibly powerful about being on a journey together with people who are bonded by a desire for a common good. 

Second, we share best practices. This comes in many forms - jointly written books, a podcast, a newsletter, courses, cohort-based learning, and more.

If you're interested in getting involved to support the movement to change work from the inside out, or get support along your own conscious leadership journey, check us out at changingwork.org

Even the most capable professionals struggle to balance immediate demands with their deeper aspirations. 

Sound familiar?

After 13+ years at Google guiding transformative initiatives, and more than a decade as an entrepreneur, 

I've dedicated my life to helping ambitious individuals get crystal clear on their current reality, their desired future, and the precise steps needed to bridge that gap. 

My approach, refined through years of working with hundreds of professionals, combines strategic clarity with conscious living principles. 

Each partnership is uniquely crafted to your specific situation, challenges, and aspirations. 
Through our work together, we'll establish new habits, challenge limiting beliefs, and create sustainable change aligned with your values.

Drawing on neuroscience, spirituality and proven methodologies, I've developed a 100-day process that helps people establish new habits, challenge limiting beliefs, and create sustainable change.

Imagine having complete clarity on your path forward, with the tools, confidence and support to empower you to make conscious decisions aligned with your values, and a renewed focus on what's truly important to you. 

My clients learn to navigate the tension between short-term demands and long-term vision, ultimately creating a life that allows them to bring something beautiful and meaningful into the world.

DM me to discuss your vision and how we can make it reality.
