with Argerie Vasilakes
Lake Erie Institute partnership consulting uses living systems principles to address ecological issues within and around the Lake Erie bioregion.
"We are catalysts with our bioregional partners to manifest new-story responses to such challenges as maintaining biodiversity, preserving and cleaning water supplies, supporting food systems that regenerate soils and landscapes, inviting meaningful participation of people in businesses and communities." Argerie Vasilakes, Director of Strategic Innovation and Consulting

She specializes in identifying and mitigating the inhibiting effects of biases and mental models on the bottom line.
