IMPACT
What My Work Yields
Here are some stories of impact from my work with leaders and teams.
WORKING WITH VIPIN
“Working with Vipin was a highlight of my professional career and cornerstone of my personal development. Somehow the process was at once functional and spiritual – we got stuff done, and transformed along the way. Vipin is highly skilled at creating safe spaces complete with provocative inquiry, meaningful connection, and actionable insights. Ripe with myriad modalities and traditions, his is an invitation into the best of ourselves and, I believe, the best of all of us.”
— Lauren Yarmuth, collaborator in developing the Togetherness Practice
ONE TO ONE Coaching and accompaniment with a single person
A SHIFT IN PERSPECTIVE
“Anytime I've encountered a difficult moment, I hear things you've said to me... ‘the moments that brought me to my knees I would not change.’ That has been a big anchor in shifting my perspective and helping me stay grounded.”
— A coaching client
PRESENCE
“Vipin has helped me become more present to God, to myself, and to my neighbor. My deepest gift to the world doesn't emerge from doing, but from being.”
— Rev. Michael Gienger, Pastor of Strategy and Vision, Central Church, Galveston; 2023 Locke Innovative Leader
ENABLING CHANGEMAKERS
“Vipin introduced me to the world of changemaking, and that experience ultimately changed the direction of my academic career — toward preparing teachers to become changemakers themselves, who in turn prepare their own students to do the same.”
— Viviana Alexandrowicz, Associate Professor, Mother Rosalie Hall School of Leadership and Education Sciences, University of San Diego
TEAMS & ORGANIZATIONS Leadership teams working on their own culture
NEW WAYS TO HOLD DISAGREEMENT
“He deepened how we engaged with each other and unlocked more structural clarity in our strengths, weaknesses, and direction. The result was productive debate, greater alignment, and a strengthened strategy. Not soft. Not kumbaya. Some of the hardest work I have done.”
— Erin Sprague, CEO, Protect Our Winters
TRUTH THAT EMERGES IN A GROUP
“He senses what is emerging in individuals and in the group as a whole. Time and again, I've seen people access a deeper truth together in his presence.”
— Matt Russell, pastor and co-facilitator
LARGE GROUPS Keynotes, workshops, and cohort facilitation
CONNECTION
“A mother who did the Togetherness Practice with her 14-year-old son cried with gratitude – it was the first time she'd heard directly from him about his feelings. Thank you for creating a safe space for our community to ease stepping into something brave conversations.”
— Anathea Chino (Acoma Pueblo), Co-founder & Executive Director CEO, Advance Native Political Leadership, on a single-session keynote with 400+ attendees
