TournesoL: French for sunflower
a perfect metaphor for human resilience
Before sunflower buds bloom, motor cells in their stems grow in a way that allows them to follow the sun’s path from east to west. Tracking the horizon, from sunrise to sunset, they flexibly maximize their absorption of light energy. Overnight, they reset. Once mature flowers bloom, they respond more strongly to morning light and remain oriented to the east. The blooms heat up faster and draw more pollinators, continuing the cycle of life.
Understanding what factors contribute to our ability to move through change, difficulty, illness and trauma well, and what inhibits that, has been the focus of my professional career.
Energy-seeking, flexible, adaptable people and organizations thrive. In my practice, we work together to identify and understand areas of both vulnerability and strength (recognizing that sometimes those are the same). We look at what’s fueling behaviors, explore ways to maximize what’s nourishing and think about what needs pruning in order for healthy growth to occur. Sometimes that requires new skills, sometimes it’s just more care and feeding of what you already possess.
Leadership requires courage.
Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program grounded in the work of Dr. Brené Brown, a research professor at the University of Houston who has spent two decades studying shame, vulnerability and courage. Her latest research on leadership indicates that courage is a collection of four skill sets that are teachable, measurable, and observable. Courageous leadership can transform the functioning and fulfillment of professionals and teams. As a clinical psychologist and non-profit leader with over two decades of experience myself, I have found this work to be transformative for both individuals and organizations, and now devote a good portion of my practice to facilitating the curriculum in coaching sessions and workshops.
