If you’re here it’s probably because you know a bit about me or my work. It may be that you want to learn something about how to work with me, or find out more about what I’m doing now. Perhaps you’re a colleague, past or present, student of mine, or a potential client. Glad you’re here.

I’ve taken experiences from 30 years leading a large community development organization and working with organizations around the world, and turned these lessons into tools and processes to help other leaders. 

I focus on helping those who are running purpose driven organizations – either for-profit or social sector. I work with leaders to help them leverage resources toward more impact. These engagements take the form of projects – new approaches to planning or a culture reboot, for example. Or in some cases, we set up long term retainer relationships – where I am on call for coaching and extra strategy help, available to think through urgent or tough issues. 

An essential part of my research work is to take lessons from those individuals, communities and cities who have experienced major disasters and worked their way toward a rebirth. Those who have learned to reconstitute community have lessons that benefit all of us. Capturing those experiences, sharing them so that others may put them to use, is my passion project. This work has taken me all over the world. My research, writing and work in these arenas continues. 

Learn more here through the descriptions of my work and tools, or through my journal where I chronicle and share what I’m learning and how I’m feeling about the work I see in the world. 

When I’m not working you’ll find me in my garden. There is something about tending to plants – caring for the soil, watering and weeding, snipping and clipping –  all of which mirrors the work of rebuilding and reconstituting community. Work I believe to be central to surviving and thriving. 

Perhaps one day you’ll come for a visit.

Love,

Angela
