Greetings and a very special welcome to you! Thank you for exploring Alive2Thrive. As you consider whether this offering is right for you, please allow me to introduce myself and share my vision for this collective.    

After a successful, two-decade career in the corporate sector, I began 512 Leadership Group in 2011 to accompany and guide leaders during times of organizational transformation. Over the past 12 years, I have been privileged to work with talented leaders in organizations — ranging from Fortune 500 firms, technology startups, government agencies, non-profits, and most recently an organization supporting the Vatican — to empower leaders and leadership teams in bringing forth large-scale and sustainable organizational change. This work continues, and I am so grateful for the many clients who inspire me on a daily basis, and whose work is creating a solid foundation for systemic change within their organizations and our world.

Yet throughout these past three years, as we all experienced a global pandemic and witnessed extreme suffering on multiple levels, two simple questions kept tugging at my heart:  

• How do I more broadly share the curated tools, practices, and principles of transformation that have been so fruitful for myself and my clients on a broader basis?  

• How can I offer the same practices that have benefited my own personal journey of transformation to those seeking to live with a more integrated heart and servant-leader way?  

Then it dawned on me: the URL I initially felt drawn to purchase in 2015 finally made sense! Alive2Thrive was born, and it is now alive to help YOU thrive – on your own personal journey of transformation in becoming the person and leader you are called to be. 

I firmly believe that leadership is not about the position we hold but rather the outcomes we seek.  And so Alive2Thrive is for anyone courageous enough to work toward a more sustainable, equitable, and hopeful future.  It is not a quick-fix program, nor a “five-steps to bliss” framework. Instead, what you will find is a welcoming and authentic community with relevant leadership tools to empower you by providing:

• Information and inspiration that cultivate conditions in which transformation can occur

• A blueprint and way forward by coupling the perennial wisdom of the Enneagram with the power of fellowship

• Practices that increase your emotional agility, intellectual curiosity, spiritual grounding, and embodied presence to meet the fullness and complexity of our times

At various stages of my life, I declared that I might become a nurse, a PhD college professor, or the owner of a greeting card and coffee shop. While those career paths never came to fruition, I realize that my dream for Alive2Thrive represents the integration of the deepest desires of my heart as represented by those noble professions. To offer those in leadership a place of comfort during times of struggle and need, provide relevant techniques and wisdom based on grounded research, and host a welcoming place of respite when you need a dose of inspiration and authentic connection.

It would be an honor to guide you on your journey of transformation by sharing the bounty of my experience.  I sincerely hope you will consider joining Alive2Thrive!
