What wants to emerge?

Unleash the potential of the not yet known

How are you meeting today’s societal and organizational challenges? Solutions typically emerge from what is known. Innovation can be unlocked when we dare to explore the unknown, expand our perspectives, and widen the ways we know.

Discover new capacities

The patterns that are present today determine the future. I support leaders and teams working in societal change to experience and enjoy new states of being and ways of working for better collaboration and more effective results.

Testimonials

  • There is a quiet magic that Nancy brings to sessions. She is highly skillful, weaving compassionate inquiry with incisive coaching, and more, in ways that have supported me to actually shift patterns that I've struggled with for years, and to feel more free. The magic comes because Nancy also has a rare intuition — as to what may be at the root, and the line of questioning that can reveal it. Beyond skill, Nancy also has a true gift. It's a blessing to work with her.

  • “I had the opportunity to work with Nancy in various settings. Her careful, empathetic, and clear manner always supported me in acknowledging and appreciating what is. She helped me to understand connections, regardless of how difficult the topics and sensitivities were. Working with Nancy was always constructive and nourishing for me personally, and also in groups that were under her guidance. Her skills as a process facilitator are very solid and supportive.”

    Iris Lenardic
    Organizational Consultant, Social Innovation

  • From first meeting Nancy nearly a decade ago, so many themes have remained consistent: an openness to experiment with structures and processes for more successful collaborative efforts; a curiosity about ways to help others find deeper connection and meaning; and a commitment to self-discovery and evolution. Through it all Nancy blends pragmatism with mysticism, expanding her toolkit to allow for wider ways of knowing, being, and doing.

  • Nancy brings empathy and precision to the process of facilitation and inquiry. The work together has initiated open dialogue and shifts towards better alignment for our Bachelor’s program. I have also gained more confidence in my leadership and specific role in the system.

  • I had the good fortune to meet Nancy through Collective Transitions. Since that time I have also worked with her as a coach and through continued constellations and systems sensing work in the social change field. In all these interactions Nancy brings her deep listening skills, presence, and clarifying questions. She gently nudges, inquires, reframes, and helps you reflect in a generative way. She has a wide range of tools in her practice — and all of them are powerful and thoughtful.

Social innovation calls for innovative approaches

  • Expand aperture and awareness

  • Surface new data and potential

  • Unlock and disrupt patterns

  • Rewire ways of working

Social innovation requires an upgrade in how we lean into what is emerging while navigating complexity and honoring the past.

Our work together is informed by participatory and inquiry-based practices and tools that utilize all of our senses to widen the ways we know.

These approaches enhance and build individual and collective capacities so you can cultivate more trust in yourself and more ease and joy while in the unknown.
