Salamana Associates
Salamana Associates is a consortium of independent consultants linked by years of professional experience in consulting, leadership training, assessment for development and work across international cultures and in a variety of languages. Our roots in international leadership form our foundation like the roots of aspen groves; we look independent on the surface but we are connected by common values and the dedication to making our world a happier and more productive place. As associates we also specialize in leadership coaching, executive coaching, and coaching supervision, primarily in English and Spanish, but also integrating indigenous wisdom with modern perspectives on leadership by preparing others to lead more effectively into the ’emerging future’ as it unfolds, with ears to the ground, eyes on the horizon, and intuition on alert. Ho`omoe wai kahi ke kao`o Let’s all travel together like water flowing in one direction.

This website is the integration of the personal and the professional aspects of my journey (and both previous websites) into what I have learned and am still learning. Being comfortable as an ‘edge walker’ in ideas, cultures, organizations, and sometimes even in my family, and still honor my roles fully as a mother and grandmother, friend , colleague, and spouse, has taken a lifetime and hasn’t always been as smooth as I would have wanted, but here I am. I secretly wanted to be an entertainer of the Tina Turner ilk but my love for academics and science sort of took over and in Wichita in the 50’s the role models were few. How we create our lives and evolve as we go requires more creativity than I ever imagined that I had and provided more options that I never recognized were available to me. I found ways to combine psychology, business and travel and still work entertaining groups and getting them to sing and dance. I create, therefore I am; still, after all this time, finding playmates and being joyful as we learn and grow is somehow a sacred task. read more
