Creating space for new ideas to emerge.
With a method inspired by scientific practice and rooted in relationships, we help you generate insights, illuminate possibilities, and move toward action.
Emerging Perspectives is a consulting group that works with individuals and organizations to create innovative solutions through evaluation, program development, and strategic planning.
No matter what opportunity or obstacle you’re facing, we’ll create a dynamic and generative experience to help you gain clarity, perspective, and a plan for action. Through a process of openness, curiosity, and imagination, we’ll work together to identify outcomes, define goals, and chart the path ahead. Our work is highly collaborative, meaning we invite and encourage all perspectives. In this space, insights, shared understanding, and innovative ideas can emerge.
We’ve worked with organizations and individuals from many fields, and all of our clients have one thing in common: they’re dedicated to their vision and open to exploring new ways of taking action.

“I aspire to stay connected with myself and others in an open and authentic way. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about acknowledging and accepting that the way we relate to ourselves–whether allowing or judging, open-hearted or closed off, trusting or doubting–affects every relationship we have and all the work we do.”
