How Inquiry Leads to Transformation

When I ask the right questions—or better yet, help you explore which questions are right for you—we unearth the wisdom within you. 

About Emily Stifler Wolfe

A former journalist and mountain rescuer based in Bozeman, Montana, I combine rigorous process and research with intuition, agility, and an ever-evolving quiver of creative tools to help you find clarity and create game-changing solutions. 

I’m always evolving, learning and developing new models to help leaders and groups be more effective as they grow and change. 

From my career as a writer, I bring the skills of inquiry, synthesis, distillation and narrative storytelling. And I have the perspective of someone who’s climbed 3,000-foot rock walls, been a teammate on serious mountain rescues, and built new magazines from the ground up—from initial strategy to shipping on deadline.

My methodology is also informed by design thinking, Clean Language, Nonviolent Communication, and a deep belief in the power of collaborative decision-making to facilitate social and environmental impact.
