HIGH STAKES. COMPLEX ISSUES. GOALS CRITICAL.
Corporate Diplomacy
Support for the conversations that matter most.
Some situations are too sensitive, political, or high-stakes to go it alone. In my Corporate Diplomacy work, I join your team as a strategic insider—helping you manage important relationships with customers, funders, contractors, internal stakeholders, and more.
I’m not a neutral facilitator. I’m on your side. But I bring the tools of diplomacy: informal mediation, interpersonal insight, strategic inquiry, and clarity around unspoken agendas. My goal is to help you protect and strengthen key relationships, reduce friction, and move forward with less drama and more traction.
What to Expect:
Engagement Flow: This typically starts with a strategic consult to understand the challenge. I then step in as an embedded advisor—observing, advising, and intervening as needed to guide conversations forward.
Tools I Use: I bring a blend of informal mediation skills, stakeholder mapping, conflict resolution strategies, and Enneagram-informed interpersonal insight.
