Leadership is hard.
Learning about it shouldn’t be.
Being responsible for the work of a team is an honor. It’s an art form. It’s a never-ending gauntlet of complex challenges and sensitive negotiations.
Hunter helps the people who lead from the middle in health care and other mission-driven organizations.
Navigate rough waters as a unified group.
I support leaders who want to reduce burnout, lead with confidence, and build a culture with high trust.
Through courses, workshops, speaking, and coaching.
Yearly Open Course
We offer a public course annually, the 8-week Human.Being.Leader, a supportive course on mindful leadership that Hunter co-teaches with Rebecca Bromberg.

The Recharging Station: A free resource for leaders (yes, you)
The Recharging Station is a short break for connection, reflection, learning, and calm.
This is a free monthly series, 45 minutes with Hunter, mindfulness coach Rebecca Bromberg, and a thoughtful group of fellow leaders.
Join us! Come as you are. Help yourself enjoy work, support your team, and avoid burnout.
Go from stressed and disconnected to calm, confident, and capable in your role as a leader.
(Psst, you can develop as a leader whether you’re somebody’s boss or not.)

FOR PEOPLE WHO LEAD FROM THE BUSY MIDDLE
We help people feel more comfortable and confident as they guide progress in teams: teams they supervise, teams at their same level in the org chart, in support of the executive team at the top.
“Building trust and being a curious and humble leader is good for business. … Before now, I thought about culture only when something was wrong with it.”
