I recently joined the Communications Committee of the International Ombuds Association (IOA). I joined IOA earlier this year, and in April 2025 I completed the Foundations of Organizational Ombuds in-person session. It was a four day course that establishes a necessary foundation for serving as an organizational ombuds. These professionals work with individuals and groups in an organization to provide a safe space to talk about an issue or concern; explore options to help resolve conflicts; and bring systemic concerns to the attention of the organization for resolution. Organizational ombuds work in all types of organizations, including government agencies, colleges and universities, corporations, hospitals, and other healthcare organizations, and not-for-profit organizations, foundations, and associations.
I’ve completed the EQ-i 2.0 / EQ 360 Online Course, and now I am certified to administer that assessment. Go here for more information.
Since the beginning of the year I've been enrolled in Spirit Rock's A Year to Live Program. It's challenging me to think hard about my past and in particular my future, not only in my current role but in particular as far as what comes next in my work and personal lives.
