About

Cheyenne founded Tend the Sparks Consulting after fifteen years in environmental conservation, ten in leadership roles, where she learned to navigate complexity under pressure and help others do the same. Her work in organizational change, facilitation, and developmental and executive coaching draws on that background, including her practice of biomimicry: applying nature’s patterns, cycles, interconnectedness, and resilience to how people build relationships and strengthen their work.

Relationships and cultures emerge from how people are together, rather than what they say they represent or plan to do. Effective partnership is co-created, and values-based conversations enable more genuine relationships and more impactful work. She helps people, teams, and organizations create conditions for those positive outcomes with awareness, care, and creativity.

Cheyenne works with individuals and groups to notice the stories they tell about themselves and use that information to move toward more connection to purpose and each other, a precondition for stronger work and the ability to navigate complexity with more ease.
