Evan is also a skilled facilitator in Sociocracy, an organizational governance model that fosters radical self responsibility and deep employee engagement through equivalence, transparency and effectiveness.

Evan is especially interested in the intersections of spirituality, leadership, and organizational governance in the context a changing climate. His mission is to help individuals face uncertainty with their hearts intact and growing closer to the heart of God.
