The Craft of Working Well
At Corporate Craft, I work with boards, senior leaders, and leadership teams to strengthen how they work together—especially in moments of complexity, transition, or uncertainty.
The work is facilitative, human-centered, and grounded in practice. Rather than offering templates or prescriptions, I help leaders slow things down just enough to think clearly, make sound decisions, and move forward together with intention.
This work strengthens the organizational commons — the shared practices, relationships, and decision-making that allow people to act together.
In practice, the work shows up in three interconnected areas. Leadership, strategy, and relationships reinforce one another; strong organizations treat them as a system rather than silos.
Leadership
& Judgment
Leadership is not a role on an organizational chart. It is a practice—shaped by judgment, responsibility, and how one shows up with others.
I work with leaders who are navigating real pressure: holding competing demands, guiding organizations through change, and making decisions that carry consequence. The focus is not on style, but on clarity, steadiness, and presence.
The work supports leaders in:
clarifying priorities and next steps
making thoughtful decisions under pressure
aligning leadership and staff around shared purpose
reconnecting vision to action
moving forward without false certainty
Strategy
& Direction
Strategy is about making choices — not just creating documents. I help organizations figure out what matters most and how to move forward with focus. We work together to name what’s real, get clear about what’s next, and align people around it.
I help organizations:
Define clear priorities and next steps
Make thoughtful decisions under pressure
Align leadership and staff around shared goals
Reconnect vision to action
Work through uncertainty without losing momentum
Relationships,
Communication
& Teamwork
How leaders communicate—and how teams work through tension—shapes everything else.
I work with leadership teams and boards to strengthen how they collaborate, communicate, and navigate disagreement. This includes addressing conflict directly, improving how decisions are made, and rebuilding trust when it has frayed.
The focus includes:
clarifying roles, responsibilities, and decision-making norms
improving collaboration and communication under pressure
facilitating difficult but necessary conversations
repairing trust after breakdowns or periods of strain
helping teams realign after change, conflict, or transition.
This is the work of leadership practiced as a craft—over time, in relationship, and when it matters most.
