Recent client work includes a systemic diagnostic on ways of working for a global civil society membership organisation, resulting in executive team mandates for decolonisation of decision-making structures and procedures. Advising a leading UK cultural institution on aspects of their culture and partnership practices which replicated colonial power dynamics, even as their community engagement work sought to break free from such patterns of oppression. And designing and delivering yearlong leadership and systems change journeys for cohorts of deputy health commissioners in largest cities in the US, all of whom are under resourced and grappling with the aftermath of the Covid19 pandemic.
Through her partnership with Adaptive Change Advisors (ACA), Molly designs and delivers Adaptive Leadership workshops, retreats, and hybrid (online) programs to diverse cohorts of social change leaders, democratizing leadership by sharing access to mission-driven Adaptive Leadership tools and systems-change approaches.
