EMERGE COLLAB THINK TANK
Emerge Collab Consultancy is my innovation forum with my amazing collaborators Jeff Van der Clute, Priti Shah, Bradley Shende and Kate Sutherland, where we innovate for audacious systems change.
Meet our newest creation, SupraTank collective leadership coaching system.
At Emerge Collab, we bridge the evolution of leadership consciousness with systemic structures that enable inclusion, sustainability, and visionary action.

.Transformative Leadership

.Systemic Alignment that ripples collaborative impact
.Structures and skills that catalyze the intelligences of Diversity, Equity and Innovation
.Collaboration as a Leadership Way.
“Even with little knowledge of the situation Emerge Collab helped me to clearly sense the relevant past, present and future complexities to enable me to plot forward in grounded, impactful and resonant ways. This is part strategic, part deep consciousness and body work, and all around the mix of magic and soul food that leaders need to see and sustain both our personal and professional gifts to ourselves, our loved ones, and the transformation of systems we seek to support in this world.”

Leadership Incubators have been our recent arenas, including nationally-subscribed Tools for Change skills for social justice changemakers, Field Shift Leadership Incubators, and Limitless: from Allyship to Collaboration workshop series. With over 450 participants from across the continent, we catalyze the power of collective creativity and witnessing to waken changemaker leaders’ energy for visionary action and shift stuck systems into decisive and effective movement. Clients include Provincial Intercultural Planning Tables, Civic governments, civil society leaders, CUPE, HEU, GEU, and ASIS, Metro Library Networks and First Nations communities.
Emerge Collab skills and tools activate collective capacity, the genius of diversity, and the reach of collaboration. Our approaches help leaders attune with purpose, retool their structures, and create grounded, daring and effective new systems and organizations. We envision collective organizing models such as The Bridge where changemaking operators get to connect, attune, find potent intersections, and dive into resonant collaborative action.
Today, we focus on the fundamental consciousness of leadership for changemaking: shifting paradigms of relationship, agency, action, systems, and structures, because sustainable, inclusive, equitable and holistic systems are not only in right reach – they are more effective, and joyful.
“The talented Emerge Collab team are an incredible mix of top calibre facilitators, coaches and strategists. They select thoughtfully from their deep toolkits and intuitive wisdom. And their contrasting yet complementary core team support me – and those I have seen them work with – to tap our own wisdom, to find great ways forward, and to step more fully into our agency for change. Even with little knowledge of the situation they helped me to clearly sense the relevant past, present and future complexities to enable me to plot forward in grounded, impactful and resonant ways. This is part strategic, part deep consciousness and body work, and all around the mix of magic and soul food that leaders need to see and sustain both our personal and professional gifts to ourselves, our loved ones, and the transformation of systems we seek to support in this world.”

“Emerge Collab shone a light on the invisible elements of group work that are often felt but not explored. They bring deep experience and skill in facilitation, and provide a space for everyone to speak to and experience the unexplainable. Their work has encouraged me to expand my senses in service of better dialogue and inclusive outcomes.”
Virginia Cullen, CAO of the Municipality of Whistler
“Field Shift Workshops were a wonderful process… it opened my head and heart, stretched my brain and gave me new language (words) and practices to manage and understand change… I am not second-guessing what I am doing or where I am going with change as I might have done before the workshop. I gained the confidence to be exactly where I am and intentional about understanding others’ perceptions of change. I am understanding the ‘big picture’ better and my/our role in the evolution of change. I value intuition more, my own and others.”
