For 10+ years, my work has connected people with the resources they need to thrive, both personally and professionally.

Whether within a specific group, or leading a diverse network of people and organizations with a common thread, nothing brings me more joy than supporting those seeking to unlock their potential.

My upcoming book, "Momentum By Design," embodies these principles, and I invite you to join me on this writing journey.

My goal is to deliver information that helps you build momentum in your field, or for a specific cause.

This article outlines the 4-part framework that is the foundation of my the book, and my plan for validating (and evolving) the framework based on interviews with influential leaders and change makers.

Here’s where you come in.

Your responses to the following questions will be immensely helpful in my writing process:

• Which parts of the framework have you tried? What was most helpful or challenging?
• How have you built momentum in your field, or for a specific cause?
• What topics relevant to these themes are of interest to you?
• If you could ask an influential leader any question, what would it be?

Now, here’s what Momentum By Design is all about:
