Better leaders.
Stronger teams.
One coaching
engagement at a time.
Leadership is learnable.
I’ve spent 25 years proving it.
Leadership Development
Great leaders aren’t born. They’re built — through self-awareness, honest feedback, and deliberate practice.
After 25 years working alongside Directors, VPs, and C-suite leaders, I’ve developed a toolbag filled to the top with practical methods, models, frameworks, and proven practices — drawn from behavioral science, leadership research, and thousands of hours of real coaching work with senior leaders.
This isn’t a training catalog. It’s a map of the territory we work in together — and a picture of the depth and breadth of expertise I bring to every coaching engagement.
When you work with me, you’re not just getting a thinking partner who asks good questions. You’re getting someone who can reach into that toolbag and hand you exactly what you need — at exactly the right moment.

Emotional Intelligence
EQ is the single greatest predictor of leadership success — more than IQ, more than technical expertise, more than years of experience. And it's the area most senior leaders have never been formally developed in. I work with leaders to understand how their emotional patterns show up under pressure — how they react, how they're perceived, and how the gap between their intentions and their impact is often rooted in emotional habits they've never examined. The work includes self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, reading the room, and learning to respond rather than react — especially when the stakes are high. I use a top tier Emotional Intelligence Assessment as a baseline, giving leaders a precise, behaviorally-grounded picture of their interpersonal patterns under stress. EQ isn't soft. It's the skill set that determines whether talented leaders rise — or quietly derail.
Conflict & Difficult Conversations
Most leaders are either too conflict-avoidant or too blunt — and either pattern costs them. The ability to navigate difficult conversations skillfully, deliver feedback that lands, and work through disagreement without damaging relationships is one of the highest-leverage skills in leadership. I bring deep expertise in conflict resolution frameworks including the TKI Conflict Style Assessment, the Pinch/Crunch Model, and best-practice feedback delivery. Leaders I work with learn to have the conversations they've been avoiding — clearly, directly, and without unnecessary damage to the relationship.
Team Effectiveness
High-performing teams don't happen by accident. They're built on trust, healthy conflict, clear accountability, and shared commitment — and most teams are missing at least one of those foundations. I work with leaders to diagnose what's actually getting in their team's way and develop the specific practices that shift team dynamics. My work draws on Patrick Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team and Working Genius frameworks, as well as best-practice team development research. Whether you're leading a team through dysfunction, rebuilding trust after a rough stretch, or trying to take a good team to great — this is work I know deeply.
Leading Through Change
Seventy percent of organizational change efforts fail. Not because the strategy is wrong — but because leaders don't know how to shepherd change effectively through the human side of their organizations. I've spent 25 years helping leaders understand the nature of change, their role within it, and the specific behaviors that determine whether change sticks or collapses. This includes the Sponsor-Agent-Target model, change resilience, and the critical connection between emotional intelligence and leading people through uncertainty. If your organization is in the middle of a reorganization, a culture shift, or any major transition — this is an area where coaching can make an immediate and measurable difference.
Coaching Skills for Leaders
The best leaders coach. They develop the people around them, ask better questions than they give answers, and create the kind of environment where people grow into their potential. Many of the leaders I work with want to be better coaches to their own direct reports — and don't know exactly how. I bring frameworks and practical tools for the boss-to-coach shift, including how to have coaching conversations, how to leverage strengths, how to give feedback that creates insight rather than defensiveness, and how to develop people through their daily work rather than waiting for formal reviews. This is one of the highest-leverage investments a senior leader can make — in their people and in their own legacy.
Leading Meetings Worth Everyone's Time
Meetings are where leadership is most visible — and where most leaders quietly lose credibility. How you run a room, manage divergent voices, drive toward decisions, and hold people accountable in real time is a direct reflection of your leadership effectiveness. I work with leaders to develop the facilitation skills, intervention strategies, and meeting design practices that turn time-wasting meetings into high-functioning ones. Practical, immediately applicable, and almost always underestimated as a development area.
A Note on How This Works
None of this is delivered as a classroom curriculum. These frameworks and areas of expertise are the tools I bring into coaching — applied to your specific challenges, your team, and your leadership context.
If you’re a senior leader looking to develop yourself, this is the depth of knowledge and experience you’re investing in. If you’re an executive looking to develop a leader on your team, this gives you a clear picture of the expertise behind the work.
