Collaborative Model:

Harlene has earned an international reputation for her collaborative model to understanding and working with human systems. Her model has been successfully implemented with a variety of organizations in the private and public sectors presenting a wide range of challenges. As a consultant and coach she takes her tools--her authentic curiosity and interest, engaging style, leadership, creativity and insights--worldwide to help individuals and achieve astonishing results.

Her collaborative partnership approach helps resolve complex concerns such as those experienced by organizations and the people who inhabit them-managers, teams and executives--building bridges between business strategies and people, creating pathways to success. Her approach, first developed for families, has proven particularly successful in resolving business challenges and dilemmas for those who have had little success with other consultation approaches. 

Proven Success:

Her success, expertise and leadership are exemplified in her position as a founding member of Access Success International, Houston Galveston Institute, and Taos Institute and as a board member of the Family Business Institute and Texas Medical Assistance and Development. The translation of her book Conversation, Language and Possibilities to Danish, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, and Swedish demonstrates the usefulness of her approach across cultures.
