From Costa Rica · Based in Boulder, Colorado
Sometimes that means a life or career that no longer feels right. Sometimes it means a difficult decision, a relationship under strain, or a company that has lost momentum. I work with people facing important changes in their lives and work.
I also help build organizations concerned with human connection, spiritual education, and the larger questions facing humanity. Across all of it, I help people understand what is happening, have the conversations that matter, and decide what to do next.
The thread through the work
My work has taken me into companies, organizations, communities, and one-to-one conversations. In each setting, I have seen that the problem people first name is often not the only problem they are facing. A strategy can look clear until no one is willing to name a conflict. A successful role can become difficult to leave. A relationship can reach a point where avoiding a conversation does more harm than having it.
I know these moments personally. I have had to leave work that was still rewarding me, begin again without a full plan, and learn that a direction only becomes real when it changes how I speak, choose, and carry responsibility for the people around me.
These questions are part of how I work with individuals, leaders, and communities. They keep me focused on understanding the situation clearly, naming what matters, and helping people move forward with greater honesty and responsibility.
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. I become an ongoing strategic partner: learning the business, bringing an independent point of view, and helping address the decisions, relationships, strategy, and execution issues slowing progress.
Organizations I help lead
I value the discipline of building with others: letting a shared purpose test our relationships, deepen our practice, and ask us to turn vision into decisions, systems, and sustained effort.
My work with the Society for the Way of Knowledge focuses on strategy, communication, systems, and the organizational capacity needed to bring its spiritual education and preparation into the world.
I 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.
I cofounded the Colorado Connection Collective with friends and fellow facilitators in Boulder. We create direct experiences of meaningful human connection and help people develop the relational capacities to listen, speak, and meet one another with greater agency and grace.
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. Relational practice and facilitation have made that inquiry less solitary: they keep showing me what becomes possible when people listen beyond their first interpretation and risk being more fully known. 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.
