I was writing about
conscious capitalism
while running unconscious.
For nearly two decades, I worked inside some of the most ambitious organizations in the world — Fortune 500 companies, Silicon Valley start-ups, executive teams navigating growth, conflict, and the particular loneliness that comes with leadership at scale.
I was good at it. Forbes contributor. FastCompany board member. The person organizations called when everything was on fire.
And then I nearly ran myself into the ground doing it.
The pivot wasn't a rebrand. It was a reckoning. I realized that the work I was doing for organizations was good for them. It wasn't good for me.
What came out the other side is MTO Agency as it exists today. Smaller. More intentional. Working with a small number of organizations at a time. Bringing the full depth of what I know — the neuroscience, the somatic work, the two decades in the room — to leaders who are ready to lead differently.
"The problem is never the org chart. It's the quality of consciousness inside the people running it."
— Gretchen Fox Palmer
The work is
grounded in
real depth.
Not a weekend certification. Not a framework borrowed from a book. Two decades of applied practice, rigorous training, and genuine results inside real organizations.
