organizational consulting

In my consulting practice, I focus on empowering organizations to unlock their full potential by tapping into the innate strengths and gifts of their people. Drawing on my experience as a Project Management Professional (PMP), Director of Business Operations, Director of Marketing, and Transformational Coach, I take a holistic approach to organizational development, combining strategic frameworks with a deep commitment to human-centric leadership.

I believe that the true power of any organization lies in its people. By aligning individuals with their strengths, clarifying their roles, and fostering a culture of open, purposeful dialogue, organizations can create sustainable, meaningful transformation. My consulting approach is guided by the core principles of logotherapy, Socratic maieutics, and the elenchus — which together create a methodology that encourages self-discovery, clarity, and actionable insights.

My Approach to Organizational Consulting

Whether you're a leader looking to clarify your organization's vision, a team struggling with communication, or a department needing a fresh perspective on how to operate more efficiently, my approach is designed to meet you where you are and lead you to where you want to be. Here’s how I use these tools to create change in your organization:

1. The Power of People: Logotherapy and Maieutics in the Workplace

I believe that the essence of effective organizational development lies in understanding the purpose of each individual and team within the organization. Drawing from Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy, which emphasizes finding meaning even in challenging circumstances, I help teams and leaders tap into their core values, passions, and talents. Through this approach, we align the organization’s mission and goals with the intrinsic motivation of its people.

In the same vein, I employ the maieutic method to help uncover the deeper truths within your organization. Just as Socrates used questioning to help individuals recognize their own wisdom, I facilitate dialogue that allows teams and leaders to "give birth" to their own solutions. Instead of imposing external solutions, my role is to guide you to discover the answers already within your organization — whether it's in your culture, your leadership team, or your employees.

How it works:

• Facilitating deep conversations with leadership and teams to identify core values, mission, and vision

• Aligning individual and collective purpose with organizational goals

• Using open-ended questions to uncover insights and solutions from within the team

When to use:

• When you're seeking to build a values-driven organizational culture.

• When your team or leadership is experiencing disengagement or misalignment.

• When you want to deepen self-awareness within teams and strengthen their sense of purpose.

2. Uncovering the Truth: The Elenchus and Problem Solving

The elenchus, or Socratic method of questioning, is a cornerstone of my consulting approach. By asking probing questions and gently challenging assumptions, I help organizations get to the root of any issue. This process is about uncovering the truth of the situation — what’s working, what’s not, and why.

Using the elenchus in organizational settings involves asking key stakeholders to reflect on the true challenges and dynamics at play. This is an essential step in diagnosing the underlying causes of dysfunction, poor performance, or lack of clarity.

How it works:

• Engaging in guided questioning with leaders and teams to identify the root causes of issues

• Providing space for teams to reflect on their beliefs and practices, challenging assumptions, and identifying limiting factors

• Helping leaders and teams articulate and clarify their values, mission, and goals

• Shifting the focus from symptoms to root causes, leading to more effective problem-solving

When to use:

• When you're facing organizational challenges but don’t know the root cause.

• When decision-making is unclear or team members are not aligned.

• When you need to reevaluate strategies or address internal tensions that are inhibiting success.

3. Strategic Planning and Execution: PMP Expertise Meets Organizational Growth

My background as a PMP-certified project manager allows me to seamlessly integrate strategic planning, process optimization, and execution management into my consulting work. Whether your organization is launching a new initiative, managing a complex project, or looking to improve operational efficiency, I bring a structured approach to ensure that your plans are not only well-conceived but also successfully implemented.

I work with organizations to define clear objectives, break down tasks, allocate resources, and track progress in a way that ensures deadlines are met and goals are achieved. I help bridge the gap between strategy and execution by providing the tools and methodologies needed to keep projects on track, minimize risks, and ensure alignment across all levels of the organization.

How it works:

• Collaborating with leadership to define clear objectives and measurable outcomes

• Using project management best practices to create action plans, timelines, and milestones

• Aligning the project’s goals with the broader organizational vision

• Regularly tracking and refining the plan to ensure successful execution

When to use:

• When you're looking to manage a complex initiative, project, or change effort.

• When you need to streamline operations or improve efficiency across departments.

• When you need to ensure organizational alignment and accountability in achieving strategic goals.

4. Leadership Development and Team Dynamics

Building high-performing teams and empowering leaders are central components of any successful organization. I work with individuals and teams to enhance their communication, foster collaboration, and develop the leadership skills necessary to drive change. This involves not only practical tools for improving day-to-day operations but also philosophical approaches to leadership that emphasize empathy, purpose, and authenticity.

How it works:

• Using the maieutic method to foster self-reflection and insight among leaders and teams

• Offering personalized leadership coaching to develop emotional intelligence, resilience, and decision-making skills

• Facilitating team-building exercises that enhance trust, communication, and alignment

• Helping individuals understand their unique contributions and how they fit into the broader organizational mission

When to use:

• When your organization is undergoing a leadership transition or wants to enhance leadership effectiveness.

• When teams struggle with communication, trust, or collaboration.

• When you want to cultivate leadership that is values-driven, authentic, and inspiring.

People Power: Unlocking Your Organization’s Potential

At the core of my consulting approach is a deep belief in "people power" — the idea that organizations are most successful when they recognize and harness the inherent gifts of their people. This belief is rooted in the essence of logotherapy, where meaning is found through connection, growth, and shared purpose. Through Socratic maieutics and elenchus, I guide organizations to tap into the wisdom, creativity, and potential that already exists within their teams.

If you’re ready to foster a culture of purposeful engagement, authentic communication, and transformative growth, I invite you to schedule a consultation. Together, we will uncover the truths within your organization, align your teams, and implement the strategies necessary for long-term success.
