Better as leaders, colleagues and human being.

This is a place to get out of drift, to reclaim your purpose, to realize your full potential, get your mojo back, to enhance relationships, to make meaningful differences and live the life you want. The call to do more and do it better requires self-awareness, practical skills, and the right path – a weight that’s hard to carry alone -- and now you don’t have to.

Making work and workplaces better.

To thrive, it’s imperative for organizations to iterate and uncover new ways to harness the power of disruptive change and new cultural requirements to order to drive revenue, brand stature, social impact and deliver on mission.

The critical ingredient is unifying organizations through a shared purpose. It’s how to have the courage to dislodge old habits, nurture a culture of wellbeing and gain alignment on priorities, requirements and accountability. This the empowerment for doing better work and creating more humane organizations.

This is the work of The Purposeworks.

You’re here because it’s hard, we deliver possibilities.

For years I’ve advised and coached leaders and groups anywhere there’s a restlessness, a penchant for wanting to do more, have more meaning, be better. We work at work. Work is a central emphasis of life. It shapes our identity, it’s a pillar of our social infrastructure, a destination to satisfy our fundamental human need for connection. It’s not the only part of life where we find joy, yet if we’re fulfilled at work, it nurtures our overall wellbeing. 

We want and deserve our work to be exhilarating and rewarding. We want to do the work hard, we don’t want how we work together to hard. That’s why purpose is at the core of our methodology because our values, our heart and soul, our humanity is the fuel to how we think and act at work, anywhere..

My work is with executives who are looking for their next engagement to Fortune 500 and high-growth venture-backed companies, foundations, and nonprofits who seek unparalleled achievement such as increased organizational effectiveness, a faster paths to innovation, delivering social impact and attaining personal fulfillment 

Drawing on my integrated experiences -- my extensive global leadership roles running businesses from the US and as an expat in Japan, my own extensive proprietary research on the power of purpose, leadership and culture threaded with my training in modern mindfulness and neuroscience, the goal is always guide each client and organization to make smart, bold decisions to achieve fulfillment for themselves, for their organizations and the broader community.
