I founded Mind Leap Institute, LLC to empower individuals, leaders, and organizations to consciously direct their evolution in an age of artificial intelligence—not by chasing the latest tools, but by cultivating the inner capacities that keep humans in command: presence, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and ethical clarity.
As an experimental psychologist, former U.S. diplomat, and U.S. Army infantry veteran with over 30 years of professional experience, I've spent my career at the intersection of human behavior, leadership, and emerging technology. I created Mind Leap to ensure that human wisdom guides technological change, not the other way around.
We draw on evidence-based psychology, contemplative practice, and real-world leadership to prepare people not just to use AI, but to master their relationship with it—so they can think deeper, lead with integrity, and flourish as the authors of an AI-shaped world.
