Work

Where the questions turn into concrete work.

Most of my current work sits in three domains: stress and self‑care, AI‑supported career exposure, and organizational learning and assessments.

This page is not a catalogue. It is a way of naming the places where I am actively writing, building, and working with people and organizations. If any of this resonates, the next step is usually a conversation.

Details about pricing, schedules, and formats are handled directly and, where appropriate, through myperformanceplus.org rather than here.

Stress, self‑care, and sustainability

A practical approach to staying human under pressure.

This work began as workshops and grew into a book and a forthcoming workbook. It is built for people whose stress comes from real responsibilities, not from a lack of inspirational quotes.

Book and workbook

The book focuses on how to cool down when things really heat up — without pretending that stress can be eliminated or that self‑care is a to‑do list item. The forthcoming workbook is designed for individuals and groups who want to work through the material in a more structured way.

Both are written for people working inside real systems: public service, education, healthcare, and other environments where demands rarely decrease.

Workshops and applications

Workshops built around key themes from the book, with room for local context and constraints.
Formats that can work for teams, departments, or cross‑functional groups.
Attention to both individual practices and organizational patterns that drive stress.
Integration with existing leadership or professional development programs where appropriate.

AI career exposure

Broadening how people see what might be possible.

The AI Career Exposure assessment is designed to increase exposure to different kinds of work and pathways, not to algorithmically pick a single "best" career.

Assessment and app

The assessment uses AI to surface careers, roles, and paths that align with a person's interests, constraints, and context, with an emphasis on breadth of exposure rather than false precision.

It is currently in user acceptance testing, with an initial regional focus and plans to expand its reach and dataset over time.

Intended uses

Support for individuals in transition who want to see more of the landscape.
Tools for schools, agencies, and organizations working on career awareness or workforce development.
Potential integration with other assessments and learning resources hosted on myperformanceplus.org.

Organizational learning

Understanding where organizations actually struggle to learn.

This work is in development. It centers on a book and assessment framework focused on how organizations identify, ignore, and sometimes work against their own learning needs.

Book and assessment framework

The forthcoming book examines how learning strengths and weaknesses show up in teams and organizations, and what it takes to address them without pretending that every environment can become a textbook example.

Alongside the book, I am developing assessment tools that surface patterns in how teams recognize problems, interpret feedback, and translate insight into practice.

Potential applications

Diagnostics for leadership teams interested in honest assessments of how their organizations learn.
Inputs to broader change efforts, rather than standalone "checklist" solutions.
Future team and organization‑level assessments that may eventually live alongside other tools on myperformanceplus.org.

Other work in the ecosystem

Projects that exist because they matter, not because they convert.

Not everything I work on is designed for scale or monetization. Some projects — including creative and reflective work — exist because they matter, not because they convert. They are part of the ecosystem, not the funnel.

DUO: a private two‑person app

DUO is a small mobile app in development intended for just two people at a time — a private, structured space for conversation and reflection rather than a public feed or a group chat.

It is not designed for growth at all costs. The question underneath it is simple: what changes when the design of a tool assumes depth with one other person instead of broadcasting to many.

Writing and incubation

Short‑form writing: periodic notes and reflections that function more like a working notebook than a traditional blog.
Long‑form essays in development, including "On the Nature of Organizational Silence," "Learning Under Duress," and "The Myth of 'Resilience'."
A small cooking channel, a project on Stoic philosophy, and a long‑term letter transcription effort that are all ways of staying close to practice, craft, and daily life.
