THE
UNCOMMON WAY

You've been sidelined for too long. Always pushed aside and ignored. Told that you're different. Told that your ideas are just a bit off-center. Your perspectives were untested. Immature. Lacking.

All of their words weighed on you like planets in the fabric of the universe. They caused you to isolate yourself. To not speak up. To not be.

I know. Me too.

And then I had an epiphany. I'm just Uncommon.

My perspective.
My concepts.
My resources.

They're all uncommon. And I bet you are too.

Hi, I'm Meiko, and I'm all about thinking and doing things uncommonly. Over years of ministry, business, communications, and civic roles, I have seen the devastating consequences of being similar; being average; being the same. It all leads to the same kind of results — results that perpetuate problems and do not fix them. I've been at tables and in meetings where the same people who have had seats and invitations before come back only to share the same ideas they shared last year. Or the year before. Even maybe a decade earlier.

I've always been bullish on going against the flow of the tide. I'm creative. Slow to speak. A processor of words. Intentional activator of space, place, and people. You see, the thing that sets me apart from the common are the things that drive me. Loving people in uncommon ways. Listening to lived experiences and finding uncommon intersections where we can agree and forge relationships. Making room for the most unlikely, the most uncommon person to have a voice and a place of influence. Seeing the world as it can be and not as it is. These are maxims that make me different.

You've got an idea you can't see germinating to fruition.

I come alongside you and water it for growth.

You see a need and have pondered the solution.

I partner with you to get it from thought to action.

You feel unseen and unheard.

I become your trusted ear and champion all that you are.

Why? Because you're uncommon, and that makes you my new favorite person. You and I will build something better, more connective, and different for all the things we care about. And we'll do it in an uncommon way.
