About

A little bit about me…

I’m a “story-preneur” that helps make the invisible “visible” in service of social change.

I have over 25 years experience in systems change, communications and adult learning.

Here are some of the places I have worked: 12 years as Co-Director of the Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Prevention, 5 years as Training Coordinator for the National Cancer Institute, 6 years in the Peace Corps in Belize, Tonga, Western Samoa and the Cook Islands.

I approach life through learning journeys.  My learning journeys include: Veriditas   Labyrinth facilitation, Zentangle certification, vigil doula training, bikablo visual basics training,  and Soul of Aging and Geography of Grace (through the Center for Courage and Renewal.) I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology (Beloit College) and a Masters in Public Health (University of MN).

Love: yoga, books, gardening, travel, coffee, chocolate, family, great conversations, the outdoors and creating magical moments.

Why I started What’s Possible Now

What’s Possible Now (WPN) works with organizations who want to “learn into” how to use story intentionally and strategically for growth, innovation and healing.

We help clients and partners discover:

• What are the stories we need to tell to create the future we most want?
• How do we create together better?
• How do we move past what’s been holding us back?
• What does success like?

WPN uses graphic facilitation, story development and guided learning journeys to: watch how organizations think and work together, look below the surface at what isn’t being said, change the lens on pain points, and nurture curiosity to encourage creativity.

Our clients include: not-for-profit and for-profit spaces, including associations, schools and universities, corporations, hospitals, foundations, faith communities, public health departments and funding organizations. These groups want to be edgeworkers, wayfinders and torchbearers to bring about positive social change in their communities.
