Consulting & Coaching

• Leadership advisory support and one-on-one coaching to bring more intention to team meetings, workflows, and day-to-day work
  • Consulting on building and sustaining healthy workplace cultures, with particular attention to how pace and urgency shape long-term performance

Mindfulness and Connection at Work

I facilitate structured, engaging experiences that help people pay better attention to themselves and one another. This includes:

• Accessible mindfulness sessions designed to help individuals and teams slow down, manage stress, and connect with the wisest parts of themselves
• Relational practices that focus on building trust and deepening relationships and belonging.

They can be offered as a one-time session, recurring series, or as an opening or closing to an offsite, retreat, or conference.

These practices work especially well for team-building, including with remote/hybrid teams, and as alternatives to traditional networking or social activities at conferences and offsites.

I’m a certified mindfulness facilitator through UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center, a 200-hour yoga teacher, and a certified Authentic Relating Facilitator. (Article: Why Workplace Mindfulness So Often Fails)

Signature Keynotes & Workshops

Drawing from my book, Sometimes You Should Be Late, these sessions explore what our relationship with time reveals about how we work, lead, relate, and respond to pressure.

They are designed to be relevant and interactive, helping groups notice where speed serves them, where it gets in the way, and what it can look like to choose pace more intentionally. Workshops can be adapted to 60- or 90-minute formats, while keynotes can be tailored for conferences and larger gatherings.

• Sometimes You Should Be Late
  Structured around the book, this session challenges the assumption that better time management always means becoming faster or more efficient.
  Through stories, research, and reflection, I invite groups to examine the pressures shaping how they use their time and ask a deeper question:
  What actually deserves our time and attention?

• If Everything Is Urgent, Nothing Is
  How do we respond quickly without treating everything like a crisis?
  Many workplaces reward responsiveness, speed, and urgency. But when everything feels urgent, it becomes harder to distinguish what actually matters. This session explores how individuals and teams can preserve the benefits of urgency while creating more room for prioritization, discernment, and sustainable action.

• The Costs of Speed
  What do we lose when faster becomes the default?
  One of the central ideas in Sometimes You Should Be Late is that speed always comes with tradeoffs.
  This session explores some of those costs at work: burnout, fragmented attention, strained relationships, and reactive decision-making and where slowing down can lead to better judgment, relationships, and performance.

• Don’t Rush Past One Another
  It is easy to become so focused on the next meeting, task, or deadline that we rush past the people around us.
  This session explores how attention, appreciation, listening, and small moments of connection contribute to belonging at work—and what becomes possible when we stop treating relationships as secondary to “the real work.”

• Slowing Down With Change
  Change can create a sense of urgency.
  This workshop explores how to respond thoughtfully when navigating leadership transitions, restructuring, or uncertainty, as well as how to reconnect with the values and priorities you want to maintain amid the change.

Retreats & Deeper Experiences

Half-day, full-day, and multi-day retreats offer depth and slowness. They combine reflection, conversation, mindfulness, and relational practice.

Retreats can help groups:

• Reconnect with individual and shared values
• Build trust and strengthen relationships
• Reflect during periods of change or uncertainty
• Clarify how they want to work and be together (norms, culture)
• Reconnect with the larger purpose behind their work
