Designing Strategies & Experiences that Move People to Act
I help HR and business leaders drive engagement and spark behavior change at scale
Is this you?
Are you investing in employee programs, training, town halls, and offsites, but seeing little change?
Struggling with low engagement or low follow-through on what’s shared?
Want confidence your efforts will spark action, not just attendance?
Imagine if…
Your message stuck, and people actually used it
Your gatherings sparked real buy-in and sustained change
You built stronger connection and faster results, without reinventing the wheel every time
Why gatherings matter
Gatherings are one of the most powerful ways we influence at scale. But they are also among the most expensive and high-stakes.
Too often, we treat them like information dumps when they should be moments that move people.
Well-designed gatherings don’t just share updates; they shift perspectives, shape behavior, and accelerate organizational change.
They are also used at some of the most crucial moments when we need buy-in, engagement, and trust. Are you capitalizing on these moments?
70% of organizational change fails. The way you gather could be why.
What I help you do
One-to-many influence isn’t about talking at people—it’s about designing strategies & moments that move people emotionally and behaviorally. I help organizations make their most important moments actually land, stick, and spark real change
-
Designing and delivering group experiences that shift mindsets and spark action. (e.g. All-Hands, offsites, workshops, onboarding, and more)
-
Drawing on insights from hundreds of gatherings and employee programs, I audit your existing approach and provide tools and techniques to create the impact you want
-
Helping your message land—and stick—across teams, regions, and cultures. (Change campaigns, culture activation, values rollouts, and comms strategy)
I diagnose the root causes of engagement and communication challenges, then craft strategies that create lasting impact.
