Prep Your People

It may not be time to throw the entire corporate playbook out the window. But to try and match the pace of AI disruption, it's definitely time to get scrappy and creative in People Ops—for company viability and employee empowerment.

Since leaving corporate in 2022, I've been living what many employees are bracing for, and come to love it. I'm a former tech manager + financial coach turned humorist + author—intensely interested in human potential and creating lives we actually like.

I've navigated scrappy income, business building/pivots, nontraditional benefits, and the very real question of "how long can I make this last?" I've also written two books* for knowledge workers about personal autonomy, money, and building a meaningful life independent of a particular job.

On a very selective basis, I work with intentional companies to help their people prepare for uncertainty with more financial and emotional resilience.

My preferred way to work with employees is 1:1, which means capacity is very limited. If you're interested in working together, complete the form at the bottom of the page, or respond to the email you received (I don't publicly market this offer).
