You can count on being seen & greeted like an old friend, having memorable conversations about the mundane and the profound, laughing well, slowing down, adventuring in familiar & unfamiliar places, seeing things from a new perspective, and, maybe seeing something new about yourself, your next moves, & your place in the world.

I work as a professional songwriter, performer, & musician (www.zotobi.com), a certified life & leadership coach (www.zotobi.com/coaching), and also co-founder of an organization called Coaching for Social Change (www.coachingforsocialchange.org) -- we help rising stars in social & environmental justice movements to thrive and grow their impact.
