I was well-trained to find the “truth” about what works at work.

My career as a traditional Organizational Psychologist, supporting organizations through change management, leadership and organizational development ultimately led me to question what I was really here for. 

Defeated, exhausted, resigned, embarrassed, I realized: I’m the well-paid expert, and I can’t make this work. The realization that leadership development tools were losing their utility led me to call my boss wondering if I needed to quit. 

Instead, I asked for 6 months to investigate the future of leadership. 

Here’s what we found: mindset matters more than skill set when it comes to effective leadership. My study in emergent practices formed the Innovation and Research Lab at Google, which later informed and was integrated in the Google School for Leaders. 

In sharing this work with the world, I learned that so few organizations are equipped to compete in the future, and I set out to share my approach to innovation. 

Today, humcollective works with organizations to implement the Sensitivity Paradigm™. A holistic framework for developing leaders, team practices, and organizational impact, to perform for the future.
