Strategic Initiatives Manager | Growth & Impact through Collaborative Partnerships

I lead and write from a place of purpose, heart posture, and story. 

My work spans development, partnerships, and strategy, and the thread through everything is relationship. I listen closely, notice what’s often unspoken, and use storytelling to help people feel seen, valued, and invited into something meaningful.

At the core of who I am is this
people matter
stories matter
and when the heart is engaged, everything changes.

The considerate heart
shows up in parking lots
in grocery aisles
at restaurant tables
and in family rooms

The considerate heart grabs the cart
blocking a parking space
and uses that one to shop

because no one can park there
until it’s moved

They pull another can to the front
after taking the one they selected
and forward face the label

Not from past retail training
but from peripheral noticing

They saw an employee doing it
and something in them responded

Easing someone else’s labor
even in small ways
leaves an imprint

No one goes on the intercom
and says
“Thank you to the person in qaisle three
for being considerate”

A considerate heart
is a subconscious habit

A kind of care you practice
until it becomes you

They stack their plates after a meal out
and wipe their space

Knowing someone else
will reset the table
for someone else

In this 
They appreciate the moment at their table
and restore it for the next person

This kind of consideration
is appreciation
turned outward

Appreciation
expressed in action

To notice with care
that anticipates
and lightens the load

To respond 
without needing credit

It’s the kind of person
who has seen the movie
and watches it again
because you haven’t
Enjoying it more because this time the moment is shared

We’ve all heard some version of

“I take my interviews to a restaurant
and see how they treat the wait staff”

Can good treatment be faked?
Absolutely

Make eye contact
Repeat their name
Say thank you

People can read performance situations
and adjust accordingly
especially in an interview

Over time
hearts reveal themselves

In tone
micro-decisions
how someone handles power
how they handle service
how they treat what goes unseen

You want to hire
the considerate heart

Look deeper

Today my son and I were playing
Mario Kart

He was in first
I was in second

He said
“Here you go Mom
take the win”

He slowed
just enough

To let Princess Peach pass the finish line

Then he looked into my eyes
and smiled

“Good job Mom”

My son
you inspired this

Consideration is relational

It’s how someone connects in the world

It reads the room
Senses the moment
Feels what would build

True influence
makes what’s around you
and who’s around you
better

A considerate heart senses
what would deepen connection
and chooses that

Love often shows up
as yielding

A small surrender
that creates a deeper bond

A decision that says

I see you
I want you to feel joy
I want this moment shared

And in that exchange
something forms

Trust
Warmth
Belonging
Moments built that matter

So I’ll ask

Are you enjoying the table you’re eating from?

Are you restoring it for the next?

Are you shaping what’s around you?

Every room is formed by someone

Let it be formed by you

Through a considerate heart

Do you fear you’ll never do anything worthwhile?

Let Before You Begin be your guide to change the way you are currently engaging the world, so you can experience different results. Results that align with what matters most to you. When you apply Compass Form, this book’s simple framework, you learn to navigate uncertainty, settle on a decision, and, when necessary, adjust course to stay in alignment with what matters most to you.

Compass Form is about isolating decisions, so you address them specifically and clear some of the chaos that comes with trying to make many decisions at once or trying to make the “perfect” decision. Since life is ambiguous and chaotic, it isn’t about predicting the future. The skill you build with Before You Begin is learning how to quickly make sense of the chaos and being content with the best decision possible given the reality of your circumstances.

That’s what you’ll learn to do in this book through its:
Example scenarios
Depictions of real people applying Compass Form
Reflection questions
Practical application activities

Account and Project Manager

I listen a lot, (and now I’m helping others get stronger physically)

and I’ve been listening for a long time. Been showing others how it's done for slightly less.

Leaders who are better at listening...
differentiate themselves.

Leaders who are strong physically will last longer. 

Listening like a lack of mobility won't just fix itself. It will require a change. 

I help guide leaders to better listening. I also help you workout in the comfort of your own home with minimal equipment. 

Let’s work together to make the changes you’ve been thinking about.
