MP6 Consulting

The Winter Solstice is a deeply reflective night, of light and dark, of transitions. My latest Substack post below ✨❄️

Winter Solstice Reflections Today we honor the winter solstice, the longest night of the year- the pause before the light returns.

I’m excited to share that I’m now a Certified Travel Coach through The Travel Coach Network!

This certification is a big milestone in work I care deeply about: helping people use intentional travel as a catalyst for clarity, confidence, and life/career transitions that actually feel aligned.

Those who know me know that travel is deeply woven into who I am and how I show up as a leader and professional. I’ve long thought about the transformative intersection of travel, experiential learning, coaching, and leadership, especially in times of transition. I was thrilled to find The Travel Coach Network met that very intersection.

And tomorrow, I’ll be officially launching a new coaching + travel venture under the MP6 Consulting umbrella for professionals who are ready to intentionally design their “what’s next” instead of drifting into it.

Stay tuned - and if you’ve been feeling stuck, burnt out, or on the edge of a new chapter, I’d love to connect and explore how travel coaching could support you. ✈️🌍

(If you’re interested in the Travel Coach Certification Program, see a link in the comments below! It’s an ICF-certified program for my fellow coaches who are also looking for CEUs). ⬇️

A deeply informative event at this weekend to hear in conversation with to discuss her newest book, “Strong Ground.” I appreciated the nuances of language, distinction, and thoughts that truly will help my clients and my Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator practice (not to mention me personally!)

A few nuggets that were shared:

🌟 Mission critical = mission clarity.

🌟Leadership is both plumbing and poetry.

🌟 We are wired for certainty, not paradox. Yet the longer we hold the tension of paradox, something new can emerge that we can’t imagine in the beginning.

🌟 Joy, connection, and compassion are acts of resistance

🌟 Strong Ground in moments of fear and loss - creating connection with others and checking on each other.

🌟Hope IS a strategy (more on that once I dig into that research )

Truly a wonderful night with a long, long list of notes. Shout out to my colleague Erica who made it both meaningful and fun. (I so do love my colleagues in this work!)

MP6 Consulting kicks off it’s 10th year of business today!

This picture was taken 9 years ago, on June 3, 2016. It was my final picture departing my government office. I remember the simultaneous feelings of excitement and fear as I departed what I had known all my adult life.

So many reflections and so much growing over the last 9 years, now as we go into our 10th. I’ve learned how to deal with vulnerability and ambiguity much better (work in progress), understood how to adapt to market changes and my own interests, and have met amazing people along the way. I’ve navigated the fear of recessions and COVID, and have realized the resulting increase in strength and resourcefulness that has emerged. The learning happens every day, and keeps on coming. 🪴

More insights and posts forthcoming throughout the year to celebrate the beginning of our 10th year - but thankful to more people than I can count for walking alongside me and believing in me. Entrepreneurship takes a village, no doubt about it.

More to come throughout the year!

Thrilled to be a part of the as a panelist at the Evolve Nonprofit Marketing Summit through next week. I’ll be speaking with brilliant and impactful colleagues on the importance of community in leadership - one of my deepest held beliefs. We weren’t meant to go it alone.
