CAMP JOMO

    Slow down. Be human. Find the answers.

    Bringing unexpected ideas from the messy middle of creative problem solving - where feeling is encouraged as much as thinking

What happens here

  • Insights

    Not facts or observations but new and unexpected ways to understand a situation. The key to competitive advantage.

  • Strategy

    How to activate on super interesting insights. They can’t just sit on a page. This is the roadmap to bring them into the world.

  • Training

    Helping others unleash their human powers to develop impactful insights and strategies. It’s my total jam.

A little about me…

I’ve been solving problems with insights and strategy for 30+ years - which allows me to get to answers more quickly than the average person. My gray hair is your asset.

My expertise is helping brands and organizations to observe, listen and unlock the truth. Brand truths, people truths, cultural truths, organizational truths. I work with people to navigate the noise and find the unexpected kernels that will impact and transform their business, and highlight what makes them both relatable and special.

Camp Jomo is both a metophorical and physical place. I moved to the woods of Vermont in 2020 and found that slowing down actually sped up my ability to connect the dots and come to new ideas. Sometimes the “joy of missing out” means having the space to listen to that feeling you can’t quite explain and letting it grow and build into greatness.
