- Calls will be limited to small groups, but as this grows, all groups can connect with each other on the member website.
If this group interests you, please contact me for an invitation to join. (I will screen those outside my network to ensure we have diversity in the group, and will create additional groups as demand grows.)

About me
I am a Corporate Alchemist and a pioneer in applying artistic processes to organizational learning and development. My focus is on developing creativity, collaboration, teamwork and leadership in organizations — and Art helps people get to the heart of the matter. I am the co-author with Arthur VanGundy of Orchestrating Collaboration at Work: Using Music, Improv, Storytelling, and Other Arts to Improve Teamwork.
My background is in the visual arts and graphic design for marketing communications, and I’ve been working as a corporate trainer and facilitator for about eight years. Clients include Fortune 500 companies, public-sector organizations and boutique consultancies. In the past few years I’ve worked in the US, Europe, Singapore and Australia.
