Claude is a passionate and and committed theatre practitioner, manager, executive consultant and artist. Most of my work and experiences have been about finding ways to help organizations change. Often change is related to growth in one area or another but it can also be about finding a better way to operate with a clearer understanding of what you are organizationally, who you serve and how you can evolve into your best self as a creative entity.
