From Costa Rica · Based in Boulder, Colorado
That work takes different forms. I coach people who can feel that a chapter of life has to change, advise founders, entrepreneurs, and executives pursuing ambitious goals, and help lead organizations with difficult missions.
At the center is a practice of close attention: understanding what is actually happening, finding the question underneath the noise, and helping insight reach choices, relationships, and action.
The thread through the work
My work has moved through retail operations, startups, early-stage investment, peacebuilding, coaching, facilitation, and organizational leadership.
These questions belong as much to a person at a threshold as they do to a founder or entrepreneur leading a company. They are the thread connecting my work.
My practices
I work independently through two practices. Emerging Clarity is life threshold coaching. Clearly Audacious is Strategic Clarity Consulting for founders, entrepreneurs, and executives. Each has its own language, rhythm, and place to go deeper.
One-on-one coaching for people who know something in their lives has to change but cannot yet see the way forward. We make room to understand what is stirring, discern a direction that is truly yours, and bring it into the conversations, choices, boundaries, and steps that shape a life.
Strategic advising and executive coaching for founders, entrepreneurs, and executives. The work helps leaders address consequential decisions, difficult relationships, strategy, communication, and execution while staying connected to what they are trying to make possible.
Current organizational roles
I value staying close to the complexity of holding real responsibility with other people, where vision has to become relationships, decisions, systems, and sustained effort.
My work with the Society for the New Message focuses on strategy, communication, systems, and the organizational capacity behind its spiritual education and preparation.
Visit the SocietyI help lead Human Institute, a nonprofit research-and-action organization focused on the scientific, societal, and governance implications of unidentified anomalous phenomena and potential non-human intelligence.

A little more personally
I grew up in Costa Rica and eventually made a life in Colorado.
I have left work that was still rewarding me, started ventures that taught me more than they returned, found myself in rooms where capable people were using the same words for different realities, and crossed thresholds that required more honesty than I knew how to offer at first.
Those experiences deepened my interest in inner authority, responsibility, relationship, communication, and the way a real insight reorganizes ordinary life. I am still learning how to listen well, speak more truthfully, carry responsibility without disappearing inside it, and participate fully in the life in front of me.
