How can we use gratitude to center our needs and passions?
How can we survive immediately and thrive ultimately?
How can we survive immediately and thrive ultimately?
I work one-on-one as a coach to facilitate people in building your own strengths and passions. I ask a lot of questions, and I listen.
I may give homework. "Having Lani as a coach was a breath of fresh air! Lani's depth of knowledge about facilitation, social justice, and activist movement dynamics allowed our coaching sessions to be extremely productive and insightful. Her thoughtfulness and capacity to reframe scenarios with a positive, growth mindset made me feel more confident and prepared for the work I was doing. I really appreciated and valued the reflective processing we did together, and I continue to use the skills she shared and strengthened within me in my work today."

Drawing on my own experiences—professionally and personally—with...

I am a librarian—at heart and in practice—and so I connect people with the resources that they need—internally, digitally, with other humans, in print, and in the world. I love dialoging, creating systems, making spreadsheets, drawing mind maps, writing and burning lists, and jars full of post-it memories and visions.

SLIDING SCALE
The Sliding Scale is intended to allow the most people access to these services. Your time and my time are valuable. We are valuable. And our resources often feel scarce. In our capitalist world, it is hard (and often impossible) to get along without money.
Each person's access to cash is different, and I ask that you look at what you have access to and place yourself on this scale in relation to what others have access to. This is a class thing. It's not just about a paycheck. It's about from whom we could ask for financial help. It's about having no one or very few people or people with very little money to ask for financial help. It's about how our connections, education, and up-bringing could bring us past, present, and future money-making prospects. For some, it's about having the security to make the choice to make less money. For some, it's about not having the security and not having that choice.
I will gladly talk about this more with you. I don't want this scale to be a barrier for people who need or want my coaching. And I know that this is an impossible desire.
I'm open to bartering and trades (or a mix of cash and trades), and I may be particular. No live chickens, for instance. (I just don't have the slaughtering set up.)
