INTRODUCING
The Innovative Leadership Salon Series
A monthly facilitated conversation for leaders who are responsible for strategy, people, and outcomes – and who know that better conversations lead to better results.
If you’re leading a team through uncertainty, managing competing priorities, or holding decisions that don’t have obvious answers, this series is designed for you.
Each month, you’re invited into a thoughtfully facilitated space to slow down, think together, and experience what becomes possible when leadership conversations are designed with intention – not left to chance.
This is not a webinar.
It’s not a training.
And it’s not leadership theory at a distance.
It’s a live, facilitated – and complimentary – experience, just for you.
Who is This For?
The Innovative Leadership Salon Series is designed for established leaders who are accountable for:
Strategy and execution
Results and delivery
Culture, trust, and team effectiveness
Navigating change while managing up, down, and across
Many participants work inside foundations, universities, corporations, or other complex organizations. They are thoughtful, capable, and deeply committed – yet often navigating ambiguity without a clear place to process it.
If you are responsible for helping others do their best work while you’re also making sense of what’s next, you’ll feel at home here.
Why Now?
The landscape of leadership has changed. Leaders today are being asked to:
Lead through constant change
Hold emotional and relational complexity
Make decisions with incomplete information
Build alignment across distributed or stretched teams
And yet, many are doing this largely on their own.
This series exists to offer:
Space to think clearly
Language for what’s happening beneath the surface
Practical frameworks grounded in real organizational life
A lived experience of skilled facilitation
The intention is not to provide answers – but to demonstrate the power of well-held conversations that advance your thinking and your impact.
What You’ll Experience
Each Salon blends:
Thoughtful, intentional facilitation
Innovation and design-thinking frameworks
Coaching-informed questions
Real-time reflection and dialogue
Each Salon is grounded in real leadership moments, not hypotheticals. You’ll not only learn from and connect with your peers – you’ll walk away with actionable insights and next steps that you can apply right away.
Monthly Themes
Each month in our Salon we’ll explore a different aspect of innovative leadership through engaging presentations and facilitated discussions.
How Change Actually Happens
In this Salon conversation, we’ll explore a new framework for change and diagnose where your change effort is getting stalled or stuck.
What Risk Is Asking of You
In this Salon conversation, we’ll unpack what Risk really is and explore a completely new way of discerning which risks are, in fact, actually worth taking.
The Hidden Mechanics of Trust
In this candid Salon conversation, we’ll unpack what trust is and what elements actually create – or diminish – trust inside organizations.
The Quiet Forces Shaping Culture
In this Salon conversation, we’ll diagnose what’s working inside your team’s culture, and what’s not.
Small Moves, Real Momentum
In this Salon conversation, we’ll unpack what iteration looks like at various stages of work – from strategy and planning, to experimenting and prototyping, and everything in between.
Living Your Values at Work
In this Salon conversation, we’ll define what values are and what they aren’t.
You’re Invited!
The best way to understand the value of facilitation is to experience it.
This series is my complimentary invitation to you to:
Experience how I design and hold leadership conversations
Feel the difference between discussion and facilitation
Decide, in your own time, whether this approach would benefit your team or organization
Some participants attend simply for the conversation. Others recognize moments where deeper, custom support would be valuable.
All are welcome.
