Aligning actions for impact

We're surrounded by constant change and increasing complexity.

I believe that a ready ability to find our way in newness leads to thriving, creating a way to engage our world with equanimity and confidence.

I work with senior leaders to find ways through newness - not just once, but as a repeatable practice.

3 actions aligned to vision to accomplish impact

  • Action know-how

    Finding our way through newness requires vision and 4 kinds of action know-how: Wayfinding; Implementing; Operationalizing; and Integrating the unique wisdom and skills of each.

    I focus on wayfinding and integrating.

    Wayfinding is strategy

    I came to strategy via implementation. Because I arrived at strategy from a getting-it-done place, I do and see strategy differently.

  • A client says:

    "When I found Sheila, DoTopia was more of an idea than a reality. We needed someone who could dream with us and then help make the dream come true. Sheila was exactly what we needed. She brought an ability to translate big ideas into action through careful framing, planning and execution. Her approach is infused with helpful documentation and her natural ability to communicate with the right audience. Because of Sheila, we are expected to come to market this year!"

  • Results

    Whether it's starting a new organization or team; bringing in or adapting technology to enable new ways of doing business; or providing advice about new ideas, I help leaders avoid roadblocks leading to the typical 60-90% strategy implementation failure rate* and gear their organizations to adapt and thrive.

    I invite you to look around, and contact me about ways we can work together.
