The Full Story

About

I work with leaders and change–makers in all the Social Purpose spaces: nonprofits, grass roots movements, for profits with a social purpose component, education, government and healthcare. I help these folks to avoid and address burnout, overwhelm and deficits of perceived meaning in their work. I help them and their organizations to achieve even greater impacts. I have a masters degree in Nonprofit Management and I am a Certified Enneagram professional, with 30 years experience in each discipline.

My work through Garden Hill Consulting has been an exciting journey. With a career grounded in financial systems, analysis, diagnosis, processes and planning, my initial offerings—in 2009— were primarily financial management services and operational planning for nonprofit organizations. As I completed my masters degree, I expanded my work into Organization structure design, program evaluation and Organizational Development. I worked with fabulous clients, and they have been my best teachers.  

As my knowledge and expertise with the Enneagram flourished, it became clear it had to be the primary tool in my professional work. I now focus on mentoring and coaching for those who dedicate themselves in social purpose spaces.  The work they do is important; I strive to make it enjoyable and impactful.
