Human-focused, narrative-driven project management
Storytelling is a central part of what makes us human: we think in stories, we dream in stories, and we relate to each other using stories.
Lighthouse Ascent exists to combine the craft of results-driven, successful project management with the art of storytelling, keeping teams and customers at the center of everything. I deliver results through focusing on improved communication and by telling the story of your project in way that connects team members with mission and vision.
