The foundation that makes working with Ironflower unique is I recognize the expense, not only in dollars, but in time when everyone has to come to my meetings, my trainings, and create a performance of the work they do. Instead, I embed myself in your meetings, with your staff, and your partners. Not only does this respect your time, but allows the one on one meetings we do have to be informed by the way your organization actually functions. This is not about handing off a report, a high-five, and the latest in leadership training. This is about leaving your organization, your leadership, and your staff with the competence to generate new cultures and new technologies in a world that never stops changing.

When Ironflower succeeds you do not need to work with me again, you want to work together again.

Steel and Honey

Relationships are at their most powerful when they are specific, and knowledge is at its most powerful when it is honest.

Flowers thrive because of their ability to attract and form relationships with specific pollinators. That specificity creates nourishment for the pollinator and propagation for the flower. For both, it creates the conditions to thrive, grow, and adapt to a changing world.

Knowledge becomes technology when we test our ideas against the world. Honest methods allow us to learn from the ideas that succeed, the ideas that fail, and the mysteries we do not yet understand. Knowledge rooted in honesty creates more than understanding—it creates wisdom.

The union of wisdom generated through relationship and the wisdom generated through knowledge allows an organization to do more than survive. It allows an organization to flourish.

I come to you not only to find solutions and teach new ideas, but to listen, to witness, and to understand your organization, so that we can craft the tools and generate the practices that support the well-being of your mission, your staff, and those you serve.
