About SG Solutions

Mission

To promote ethical action by creating space for inspiration, conversation, laughter and support.

Living the Mission

I created SG Solutions to complement my work as a professor. Through consulting, training, and writing I share the stories of individuals who live their values, to shine a light on their courage and seed more of it in others. In an authentic, meaningful and humorous way, my seminars and presentations further our understanding about the origins and expressions of moral courage. They create space for discovery and dialogue so that each of us can learn from and be strengthened the examples of others.
