However, my audit inquiry approach pushes you out of your comfort zone which is where you don’t want to remain any way, and into a new space where I invite you to explore possibilities you have not yet considered. Truth is my guiding light to your full truth. Together we co-create the life or organizational culture you desire.
It Takes A Village To Wreck A Child
In this book, you are taken on an epic journey that summons you to examine how you have been inviting the village to be active participants in the raising of your children. While it may come across as a biography, it is intended as a powerful reflective and healing tool for you as a parent, as well as someone who was parented by the village. While the parent may be well intentioned by inviting or allowing the village to participate in the collective raising of children, the repercussions may be adverse.

Consultation & Training
When was the last time your organization received an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Health Check?
