Work with me

Services offered

All of my work happens at that sensitive and hallowed intersection between meaning and action. It’s that sacred but fraught point where our aspirations and visions of humanity must meet reality and guide the decisions we make going forward. The entire challenge of a life well-lived, for individuals, organizations, and communities, has always centered on navigating this intersection. The following offerings are suited for different leadership challenges and organization shapes.

Here are the different ways you can work with me and tap into my unique perspective to help you, your vision, and your organization succeed, grow, thrive, and create the impact you truly desire.

  • If you are an individual leader, or small group of creative visionaries, who is attracted to my approach, the best way is to retain me for ongoing support, guidance, brainstorming, problem solving, etc. We will meet regularly to reignite your purpose, energize your vision, and give you the space to talk through complicated problems that may seem overwhelming and unwinnable.

    “After talking with Aaron I feel so refreshed, optimistic, and motivated! There is a peace, clarity, and even joyfulness in that infuses my point of view. I feel like I have a maturity of perspective that increases productivity, high-impact actions, and helps me to face difficult and unpleasant tasks.”

    Leaders come to look forward to the time spent with me as a place to rejuvenate and work through the contradictions they see in this perplexing world and species of ours. This option is ideal for individuals who need the unconditional support of a wise, wide-ranging perspective to help set goals, stay accountable, and navigate challenges in their business, career, family, community, and more.

  • If you are part of some complicated entity that must harmonize multiple perspectives, like a board or community organization, and find that you experience regular belligerence and gridlock that interferes with productivity and agreement, this might be the option for you. We will determine the correct amount of time and players in the meeting, and then work to achieve as much agreement as possible.

    “Aaron shows up as a wise, disinterested, yet compassionate 3rd party able take a broad perspective on what at first seem to be conflicting points of view. He has a way of honoring and also controlling the emotional nature of such interactions in order to search for the deep agreement that is often below the surface.”

    Discovering this deep agreement is often the key to unlocking a common solution that is at first hard to see, but just the right step forward.

  • Perfect for chamber-like organizations who would like to build organizational cohesion while simultaneously delivering value to individual members. I will facilitate a free-flowing group experience with ample time for reflection and individual work that is charged and enriched by group interaction. Attendees can expect to have their vision broadened and emerge as more effective leaders, both within their own spheres, and the community that was formed in the workshop.

  • I take special delight in working with children, encountering their unique wisdom and desire for growth, and helping them to understand and develop awe and wonder for their marvelous inheritance as humans. For children the intersection of philosophy, history and career counseling is particularly relevant, and this effort is enriched by comprehending and grasping the broad shape of the human experience from time immemorial.

    “Aaron speaks to children like adults. He truly honors their innate wisdom, intelligence, and goodness, while challenging them to think deeper, and remember that they will soon inherit the role of leading and guiding our species. I see real, positive transformation in a short amount of time after children spend time with Aaron.”

    My level of conversation and philosophical inquiry is particularly well-suited for students who are in middle school and above.

  • I will deliver a powerful, motivating, and deeply thought-provoking talk to your organization or event that unifies the human past with the future and reveals the deep potential power of the present moment.

    “Aaron’s talk was awesome. It presented the joy and struggle of the human condition in its totality and put me in a truly visionary space.”

    “Aaron’s speaking blows my mind! It demonstrates real depth of thought and a profound grasp on the beauty and wonder of this human condition that we share.”

  • Are you looking for a uniquely stimulating, open-ended environment to meet, network with, collaborate, and be inspired by other like-minded leaders? My creative retreats facilitate this, catalyzed by the space to present, explore, develop, and analyze some particularly complex, salient, and timeless ideas that have accompanied the human condition for ages, and are relevant to the leadership challenges of our current time and place.
