We can do better… together
Changing workplace culture through Restorative Practices.
Relationships aren’t a soft skill. They’re the whole thing.
I help individuals, teams, and organizations build cultures where trust, accountability, and real collaboration aren’t aspirational — they’re everyday practice. Through restorative methods grounded in 30 years of real-world experience, I give people the tools to do the hard work of being in community together.
I’m Ada — and I’ve spent 30 years building the answer to one question.
In 1992, Rodney King stood amid the wreckage of Los Angeles and asked: “Can we get along?” That question has followed me through a career that spans law enforcement, nonprofit leadership, policy planning, and organizational consulting. My answer — hard-won and still evolving — is yes… but only if we’re willing to do the work.
Managers, faculty, and team leaders have said:
“This is probably the best workshop I have ever attended. The Restorative Questions will be a game changer for me as a manager.”
“I’ve attended 20+ of these in my career. This was one of the most potentially impactful.”
“The key to change is to ‘narrow the boundaries of what is acceptable.’ That was a huge aha moment. It changed my life.”
“I feel more empowered to intervene—both because of the strategies and the chance to practice them.”
Here’s what working with me looks like.
STEP 1
You tell me what’s going on.
A free 20–30 minute call to talk through your team’s goals, the challenges you’re navigating, and what you’re hoping restorative practices can make possible.
STEP 2
I build your program.
No off-the-shelf curriculum. I design the training around your specific workplace context — the dynamics, the language, and the real situations your team faces.
STEP 3
Your team leaves ready to use it.
Participants finish with practical tools, new language, and enough real practice that they can apply what they’ve learned the next day — not someday
