Scripts for Hard Conversations(no cost)
12 research-backed scripts tested in real crisis moments across nonprofits, disability services, and education
For 15 years, I took late-night crisis calls, sat with teams who described feeling like they’re breaking, and worked beside people who poured everything into their work. I've worked in domestic violence services, international NGOs, disability support, nonprofits, and higher ed.
I also played DI tennis at the University of Oregon - but not as a star. I worked hard, and I was kind, so the coach took a chance on me, saying it mattered for team culture. That has shaped a lot of how I view organizational and team dynamics.
I'm not here with a clipboard of advice, but using experience and current research at UO on emotional intelligence and conflict resolution, I will help you learn how to tie the two together. When this happens, burnout goes down, trust goes up, clarity builds, and leadership gets stronger.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How is this different from other leadership training? This teaches how you show up while applying the new strategies I teach. When you're managing crisis after crisis with burned-out staff, you need the capacity to stay steady under pressure, repair relationships when they break, and hold space for others without losing yourself.
What makes it effective? It's built for real life, not ideal conditions and have been tested in crisis settings with real teams. It works at three levels simultaneously: your nervous system, your relationships, and your team culture. And it meets people with compassion, not judgment. When leaders feel supported instead of criticized, they actually implement change.
Can you customize this for our team? Yes. Every organization is different. I assess your culture first, identify what's driving burnout, then tailor everything to your specific challenges - whether that's manager relationships, staff exhaustion, or communication breakdown.
Is this right for me? If you're doing meaningful work but running on empty, and you want something practical, not just inspiring, this is built for that.
Do you work outside Oregon? Yes. Virtual options available nationwide. Oregon-based teams get priority for in-person work.
What if this doesn't work? Everything I offer comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. For organizational work, we start with a Culture Diagnosis so you know exactly what you're getting before committing to anything larger.
