It all starts with the individual. Individuals can lead, resist, alter a culture, make or break an implementation. Most leaders rise based on their expertise rather than an innate ability to lead. I develop leaders, teams, and organizations to create sustainable change and impact.My career in leadership has taken a non-linear path driven by a penchant for developing people, innovative problem-solving and a commitment to systemic change. Five things to know about me:1. I’ve been a leader in many fields, a mentor, and a cultivator of talent for those that surround me. A sampling of my roles include: Consultant, C-Suite leader, Social Worker, Professor, Dean, and School Board Trustee. This breadth of experience allows me to understand a multitude of challenges and connect easily with clients.2. I earned a Ph.D. focused on leadership, organizational development, and education to influence systems and address organizational challenges.3. Through work with over 100 organizations across a range of industries, I’ve experienced a spectrum of cultures: from amplified bureaucracy versus extreme efficiency to kind versus toxic leadership. These experiences taught me to be resilient and approach career transitions with agility. 4. I have a knack for synthesizing complex information, discerning overarching patterns, and translating them into actionable strategies. I see strengths and cultural nuances that can be addressed in innovative, customized ways. 5. I row sculls in the Pacific Ocean. Lack of synchronization can lead to a cold swim (done that!). Rowing is a metaphor for how I help clients navigate themselves out of messy water by aligning their purpose, strategy, and performance. Clients who have worked with me will tell you that I am a partner for change who supports and challenges them. I increase their capacity to delegate, build self-confidence, expand executive presence, explore career transitions, and to set boundaries to find better work life balance. My clients all have one thing in common, they want both performance and dynamic fulfilling careers where they can inspire meaningful impact.
