Trust is in crisis. You feel it in the headlines, the boardrooms, and maybe even in your gut. Complex systems are fraying under pressure, and the very mechanisms we rely on seem to be faltering. From politics to labor strikes to financial scams, trust is harder to find—and yet more essential than ever.
For leaders, this isn’t just a distant issue; it’s in the fabric of your work every single day. Without trust, conversations stall, relationships erode, and meaningful progress becomes impossible. But when trust is present, it transforms everything.
Trust Starts With You
The work I do with individuals, teams, and organizations always begins with trust. It’s not about grand gestures or mission statements—it’s about presence, integrity, and courage. Leaders need to trust themselves first.
When you trust yourself, you create a stable foundation for others. Your security isn’t reliant on the actions or reactions of others – it’s rooted in your values and self-knowledge. This stability allows you to lead with clarity and inspire confidence in your team.
True trust requires consequential conversations—dialogues that go beyond surface-level niceties and dive into the courageous, honest truths about where you are and where you’re going. As a leader, facilitating these conversations takes vulnerability and skill, but the payoff is extraordinary.
Navigating the Emotional Landscape
We are collectively in a season of difficult emotions. Denial may feel easier, but it’s not the path forward. Instead, leadership today demands radical acceptance—not just of external realities but of the full spectrum of emotions we experience internally.
Meeting yourself where you are—without judgment—builds profound inner resources. Whether it’s journaling, working with a therapist, or simply sitting quietly with your experience, the act of noticing and naming your emotions is a powerful step toward insight and alignment.
From this place of internal clarity, you can respond in ways that reflect your deepest values. This alignment doesn’t just benefit you; it creates a ripple effect through your teams and organizations.
Leading with Trust
The systems of trust that once seemed unshakable no longer meet today’s needs. This means we have to lead differently. We have to create new models of trust, rooted in authenticity, humility, and a fierce commitment to integrity.
The work I value most is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with leaders who are ready to step up. Leaders who are brave enough to reimagine trust within themselves and offer new possibilities of trust to their teams.
If you’re ready to dig deep, to explore the untapped resources within yourself, and to lead in a way that aligns with your highest values, I want to work with you. Together, we can navigate the complexities of trust and create something extraordinary in these unpredictable times.

The future demands leaders who are ready to chart a new course. Let’s begin.
What if you could design it – a better future for your own life and the lives in your communities – your experience of every day. The experience you have of your thinking, your body, of your relationships, your sense of meaning and fulfillment… purpose. What if your wildest dreams and hopes for the future were possible? What if you could apply your attention and skills in a focused direction toward achieving that?
Imagine what it would feel like to get out of bed in the morning, connected to all of that hope! Imagine what it would feel like to have the resources, abilities, and a supportive context in which to realize these dreams…
Too often, we don’t allow this dreaming or belief to even crack the surface of “ordinary life“. We are too afraid of disappointment, being called unrealistic, the risk of making changes, or most terrifying of all – experiencing failure if it doesn’t lead to the outcome we hope for.
The future depends on the inner place from which we operate. ~ Otto Scharmer Presencing Institute
Stina: “For over 15 years, I have helped leaders and organizations imagine, design and create purposeful results in the world. What I’m writing about is not fluff or hype or unrealistic.I have literally watched bold visions come true – individuals, teams, cultures and organizations change and millions of dollars appear, to help leaders and their teams fulfill their visionary commitments.
Without visions, without being able to see and articulate the future you want to create, without building systems and relationships to support you, you are bound to repeat current patterns. It’s time to move beyond our limited beliefs of what’s possible and build the future reality we hope to see.”
What is the future you hope to create? Let’s get started!
“To weigh the future of future thoughts requires some powerfully visionary thinking about how the life of the mind can operate in a moral context increasingly dangerous to its health. It will require thinking about the generations to come as life forms at least as important as cathedral-like forests and glistening seals. It will require thinking about generations to come as more than a century or so of one’s own family line, group stability, gender, sex, race, religion. Thinking about how we might respond if certain that our own line would last two thousand, twelve thousand more earthly years. It will require thinking about the quality of human life, not just its length. The quality of intelligent life, not just its strategizing abilities. The obligations of moral life, not just its ad hoc capacity for pity.”
Stina: “My job is to come alongside leaders like you with resources, solidarity accountability and love (yes, love!) to nourish, witness, codify and amplify what you can imagine. Don’t lose hope in a world full of noise, precarity, and seemingly insurmountable complex challenges. It sounds cliché, but if you can imagine it you can create it, I know this for a fact.“
Stina works with individuals, groups and organizations to take care and take a quantum leap.
I love the honest and raw conversations. Be ready to hear and accept the feedback you get from Stina. It’s not always what you want to hear but it’s what is going to propel you the individual and/or agency forward. ~Non-Profit Organizational Development and Planning Client 2020-2022
In Stina’s coaching, process design and facilitation – the objective is to work with peopleto ignite a fundamentally different reality. Clients arethe creators of new realities. Stina guides the process for those leaps to be realized and works with leaders to establish new supports, skills and habits to crystalize those new realities. Her invention, method, and creativity go beyond skilled process design.
Her art is facilitating state-shifting within leaders and organizations. Often with strategic planning, an “event” can happen, and the past and present essentially stay the same. Not so with Stina! Contact her today to explore future possibilities~!
