About

People tend to reach out the week the arithmetic finally stops working, when the effort a job pulls out of them and the return it gives land on opposite sides of the ledger. Nothing dramatic happens; the numbers just quietly refuse to balance any longer. A lot of my work centers on the workplace and the outsized room it takes up in a whole life. I am not here to argue you into staying or leaving. I am here to help you see the situation clearly enough to choose well, and to notice the pattern you keep re-enacting in one role after another. Clarity, not a prepackaged answer, is the whole point. I started out in research and eventually admitted I wanted the living room of a conversation, not the clean data about it. My manner is plain and practical, no jargon and no grand pronouncements. If something here fits, send a message and we will take it from there.
