I have worked with leaders and organizations to optimize their talent for over 30 years. I help mid- and senior-level leaders increase their ability to lead strategic change, create/communicate compelling visions, interact/influence across departments, and develop high-performing teams/employees. Specifically, I help leaders develop clarity, commitment, capability, creativity, and connections to contribute their best. I combine a caring, open, supportive style with an honest, practical, and results-oriented approach. I am authentic and intuitive, asking thought-provoking questions and offering insights that get to the heart of the matter to ensure my clients achieve business and development goals within the context of their organization’s strategy and culture. I have helped hundreds of leaders improve their self-awareness, relationships, leadership skills, business performance, and career success through an increased ability to understand and develop themselves and others. My clients have consistently been promoted and/or assimilated to more senior-level positions and oversight. They also have reported feeling I care as much about them and their success as they do.I have been an executive coach for 25 years.
