Who We Are
Two decades of lived experience working inside organizations across cultures and systems — supporting leadership, alignment, and sustainable change.
Background
New Pathways is grounded in over twenty years of combined experience working inside organizations — not just advising from the outside.
Again and again, we’ve seen that meaningful change rarely happens through force, rigid frameworks or prescriptive solutions alone. It happens when people across a system gain clarity, feel heard, and can align around what is actually happening — not just what is planned or intended.
Our work is shaped by real environments: complex organizations, cross-cultural contexts, leadership under pressure, and moments of transition where decisions have lasting consequences.
What Shapes Our Work
Years of working within organizations at multiple levels
Cross-cultural and cross-sector experience
Deep listening with leaders, teams, and frontline staff
Comfort working with tension, uncertainty, and change
A commitment to shifts that can be carried forward without dependency
