Cohort AssignmentEurope with In-Person Intensive in Lisbon, Winter-Spring 2024
1. What do you see as your primary work at this stage of your life?

I want to help my clients (businesses, investors, NGOs, multi-stakeholder initiatives) think more strategically and meaningfully about impact and to be more bold and daring.

2. What role do you see as yours to play?

I play the role of facilitator, partnership broker, and collaborator.

3. What goals or aims do you have in regard to the above?

It would be helpful if I could influence my clients to be more thoughtful and long term--beyond ticking a box or thinking of sustainability as an achievement and in a world of tech, AI, and increasing detachment how to connect to what is important. Not just having something to stick in an impact report.

4. Where do you feel your next arenas for personal growth are?

Continuing to build and deepen connections.

5. And for professional growth?

To not get stale or bored and to continue to learn.

6. What have you invested in to get you where you are?

Hard work!
Networking
Gender mainstreaming course
Partnership broker training

7. What fields of learning and which thinkers have been important in your life?

Organizational development.
My MBA.
Interviewing, surveying and storytelling.
Brene Brown

8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it?

I'm very practical--not religious or spiritual. I believe in free will.
I worry about the short-term thinking of humans these days.
I am very concerned about what a divisive world we live in--us and them, but I must admit I can be quite tribal myself.
