Praticing embodied leadership
Deepening what it means to have an active stance

Words that matter
“Consultants will likely go in and see the very problems they are best at addressing. Good ones overcome this. They capture an honest assessment of what the organization, school, or system really needs to be paying attention to and what’s real.”
“What time is it on the clock of the world?”

A bit about me
MY FULL NAME IS MICHAEL SCOTT NINE
I’ve always asked a lot of questions. One of my favorite childhood nicknames is Smiley. Home is at the bottom of the Superstition Mountains in the desert of AZ right after it rains and in Portland riding bicycles late at night with Hollie and just the right song playing. I love people and especially my family and crew. It has been humbling to have my DNA re-arranged several times and to keep growing and learning. Bio
