This is Portia

After working with community level non-profits, local governments and international development institutions, I am now compelled to work with the increasing number of those who realize they must adopt new models to be successful in an environment with so much uncertainty. There are four dominant ways I work.

​

First, I facilitate initiatives for learning with a 6-step process that integrates all your wisdom rather than leave part of yourself outside the decision-making rooms. You will learn to navigate situations that have hindered your progress and immediately apply the new awareness to your real-time issues.

​

Second, working together we will plan your path forward while navigating a shifting landscape filled with unparalleled, rapidly evolving challenges. You will adopt a more generative model of planning across your organization that shapes a more engaged workforce.

​

Third, I advise you as you move through the stages of integrating new work processes to help you meet your performance metrics, providing feedback for evaluation.

​

Finally, I perform research to examine the matters which are central to any festering problems.  Primarily using narrative analysis and Q methodology, that information reveals the underlying themes of what drives or impedes the success of your organization.  An example of that research has been included in a leadership handbook.
