People come to me for:

I love complex, high-stakes work where the system is messy (like, you're borderline embarrassed), stuff feels ambiguous, the pressure is real, and clarity feels necessary but so far away. People come to me when things feel tangled, trust is strained, priorities are competing, and/or the organization needs to stabilize, align, and move forward...or get results, quickly...without losing its soul.

Kate Harris

My favorite kind of project is: a messy one. Good, smart, and kind people who care a lot can sometimes get themselves and their organizations into a pickle. I love pickles! And yes, I like them on sandwiches. But I also love helping people out of their metaphorical pickle. It comes from a belief that there is always a way out - we just have to find it. Everyone - and I mean everyone - has a valuable role to play in working through it. Sometimes folks just need a little help.
