Expertise
I enjoy a lot of variety in my work, and I love a good challenge.  To get in touch with my business, Inside-Out Sustainable, read here.

My consulting improves businesses & organizations' triple bottom line (people, the planet, and profit) through combinations of relationship-building, Word of Mouth marketing, fostering a tight local focus, fostering a sustainability focus, or attracting/supporting a target market with social, environmental, or holistic foci.

I accept speaking engagements on any of the topics on this site, as well as performance engagements for my theatrical singing.

I train new community builders.

I facilitate inquiries in which individuals who are on the community building path, learn
how their unique brain is wired,
find themselves embracing that, and
quickly discover immense power (and a natural checks-and-balance system) in the conscious leveraging of inherent tendencies and talents.


I facilitate groups of individuals in
wiring gatherings for success through Natural Planning and Dynamic Governance,
team building: doing inner and interpersonal learning with comfort, gusto, and grace,
transforming times of transition into personally and globally relevant, engaging opportunities for overwhelming success.


I enjoy
voluntary simplicity,
acting, singing, and dancing,
presenting ideas and plans, working in small groups,
growing, preparing, and sharing whole foods,

fixing things, breaking the ice,
fostering relationships, and actively supporting neighbors in creating a culture of get-togethers,
promoting Home-Based Social Belonging and sharing traditions that enrich this-here culture we're ever co-creating...
