Taproot advisory
For the leader ready to build an organization worthy of the people inside it.
You already know that culture isn't built by policy. It's built by what gets modeled, what gets tolerated, what gets asked of people day after day. And you're ready to look honestly at what your organization is asking of the humans inside it — and what that's costing them.
This isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about building a culture where people can be fully human and do their best work.
Taproot brings a different kind of intelligence to that work. Somatic, ecological, relational. The kind that reads culture the way an ecologist reads a forest — beneath the visible, at the root.
What the work looks like
Each session begins with a short practice to help you get present and tune in before we begin. From there we work with what's most alive for you and your organization — naming what you're seeing, examining what's beneath it, and developing a clearer understanding of what your culture is actually asking of people and why.
Sessions draw on somatic awareness, ecological framing, and systems thinking — not as abstract concepts but as practical lenses for seeing what analytic frameworks alone miss. We also draw on the natural world during sessions, using nature's imagery and cycles to illuminate what's happening in your organization. Sometimes the right metaphor makes visible what data alone cannot.
Between sessions you'll be invited to take land-based practices outside — sitting with a particular place, noticing what it reflects back, letting something slower and older inform how you lead. These aren't exercises. They're a different kind of input.
You bring the questions you can't ask anyone else. I bring 25 years inside these structures, a somatic and systems lens, and no investment in telling you what you want to hear.
Six months is the minimum — systems-level change takes time, and the growth often happens underground before it's visible anywhere else.

The right advisory relationship starts with an honest conversation.
Taproot is a significant commitment — in time, investment, and the willingness to look clearly at what your organization is producing. A 15-minute conversation is where we both get a sense of whether this is the right fit before either of us goes further.
"Anchoring ourselves — grounding ourselves — as we engage in building, selling, supporting, and evolving tools like Literal requires a solid connection with self, with the non-technology driven world around us — nature, breathing, and intention are all powerful tools to keep us anchored."
