The Work

As part of Light Work's advising, I offer different depths of engagement. The shape of the work emerges from what you're navigating.

I begin with discovery — part spelunking, part research, part conversation. The work begins immediately, and the shape of the engagement emerges as we unlock insights. Within days, we're boots on the ground together, capturing what will inform the next several years of your strategy.

Whether we're working on personal direction, organizational narrative, or something entirely bespoke, it starts the same way: I listen for the thread.


Bookend Session

A short intake call followed by a full working session. Full attention, no ongoing commitment. You come with a question, a decision, a knot — we work it together and you leave sharper. Good for a pressure-test, a specific crossroads, or when you need someone outside the room to tell you what they see.

Residency

Three months of steady strategic partnership. Regular sessions, light async access, and a consistent rhythm of support and clarity. I'm a tuning fork for your direction — helping you hear what's already there and move with confidence. You leave with an artifact that captures what we've surfaced together. This is where most engagements begin.

Consigliere

Ongoing retained advisory — like adding a trusted voice to your board, or creating a board where you don't have one. Regular rhythm, full async access, and the kind of honest, wide-ranging counsel that keeps your thinking sharp across every dimension of what you're building. For leaders who want a strategic partner for the season, not just a project.

Incubator

Co-building. Your venture takes up residence in my mind. Embedded collaboration, fractional leadership, creative direction — for launches, new chapters, and builds that need a strategic co-creator, not just an advisor. We design the structure together around what you're making.


Emerging technology is reshaping how organizations work, tell their stories, and serve their people. Before you invest, do you know what narrative your organization carries well enough to know where technology serves it — and where it would be rejected?

Most AI adoption starts from the tool and works backward. I start from the organism — the identity, the culture, the operations — and work forward. Narrative-led technology alignment means starting from who you are, not from what's trending. This is available as part of any engagement or as a standalone assessment.


Mirror, divining rod, or compass tune-up — whatever you need, it starts with a conversation.
