I help senior leaders working across teams and organizations to align key stakeholders and get buy-in for their most critical initiatives. Otherwise known as getting everyone playing out of the same playbook . . . or herding cats.My superpower is understanding people and figuring out what they need to get moving in the same direction.At Light River Group, we help clients: - Drive successful strategic initiatives by aligning cross-functional teams - Get teams or stakeholders going in the same direction after an acquisition or restructuring - Optimize global teams in support of business objectives - Maximize impact of their new leaders in the first 90 days of a new role - Leverage opportunities when teams come together in meetings, workshops and offsites to work through challenges or define a strategic vision.Before starting Light River Group, I spent 20+ years working in multinationals and start-ups with a focus on FinTech.  I have deep global experience after working in 3 countries, with 20+ countries from NY, and traveling to 50+.  With high emotional intelligence and curiosity for new cultures, I love connecting with people and understanding what makes them tick.  I've been building relationships virtually for years before COVID hit the scene. Some may call it herding cats, but I know the secrets to getting different stakeholders aligned around a common goal so objectives can be achieved.I'm an ICF Certified Professional Coach (1000+ coaching hours) and I help leaders define their leadership style, build effective global teams, manage stakeholders, and get out of their own way.One accomplishment I am most proud of is sitting a month-long meditation retreat in 80% silence. It pulled me to pieces and let me uncover a deeper part of myself. I am deeply grateful for the experience. Expertise: Stakeholder management, global teams, cross-functional teams, horizontal leadership, executive coaching, leadership development and transitions, facilitation, emotional intelligence, relationship building, strategic thinking, influence, mindfulness, and herding cats.
