What I'm working on, June 2026 — research, a measurement instrument, and applied practice at the intersection of structural dynamics, nonviolent communication, and AI.
A working paper, in development, on how the human moment in a high-stakes conversation shapes outcome more reliably than technique or expertise. Drafted from a small corpus of real sales conversations, scored at scale by AI raters against a structural rubric. The methodology is converging.
Underneath the paper, a measurement instrument I've been refining since early 2025 — seven habits, fourteen connection moves, ten failure modes. Under careful scoring rules, the rubric reproduces reliably when independent AI runs score the same conversations, and the patterns it surfaces are clearer than I expected.
The deeper question — how AI can amplify or distort the human moment it's meant to study — is where the next phase of the work points. Strategic deployment of AI in coaching, training, and consulting contexts asks a particular kind of care: enough rigor to trust the inference, enough humility to know what it cannot replace. That balance is the research, as much as any single finding.
Alongside the writing, the work runs in four tracks: coaching with leaders and emerging professionals; nonviolent communication trainings; structural dynamics consulting with teams and organizations; and developing artistic projects, of my own and with collaborators.
If you're curious about any of this — the research, the AI work, the coaching, or the writing — write.
