I like change, and I've had the privilege of seeing my teams do some of their best work through periods of great instability and disruption. Change demands more of us; it asks that we get comfortable with what we don’t know. Change invites us to learn, fill gaps, try something else, react to new things as they come, more in flow. It forces us to turn inward and rely on our better instincts. Change shows us how capable we are.I excel at helping leaders meet their goals. By injecting what I’ve learned from 20+ years of brand experience building unstoppable iconic brands (Nike, IKEA, Google, VW,) I now build unstoppable, agile teams and leaders that take on challenges and change with curiosity, agility and clarity. I currently work with a high-achieving client base made up of CEOs, CIOs, academics, athletes, marketers and maverick-thinkers, who learn to bat away limiting beliefs and step into who they really are. I support, clear space and coach to surface their personal leadership style, unearth what matters most and connect leaders to what ignites their drive. All we need is a steep hill or a tough brief to help us activate innate strengths, skills and structures to support a deeper sense of purpose and an action-oriented approach. I’m uniquely skilled at empowering my clients to - prioritize what’s important- find what fuels and fulfills them - take charge of what comes next- convert obstacles into clear actionable opportunities- inspire others to go the extra mile- make an impact and - leave no one behindCORE COMPETENCIES● Change Management ● Strategic Planning, Customer centricity● Executive and Brand Communication● Adaptive Leadership Talent Development ● Alignment ● Activation Goals that have been met by leaders I've helped: 1.
