Trusted partner to seasoned CEOs and emerging leaders

I work on a 1-1 basis to help leaders think through complex issues, navigate change (personal and organizational) and refine their leadership style and/or legacy.

Leadership perpetuation is often central to the counsel I provide:

  • Seasoned leaders are thinking steps ahead – creating an enduring culture, sustaining their impact. I serve as the sounding board and guide to help make their expansive thinking actionable.
  • Emerging leaders are aiming to grow their influence, build trust and evolve beyond personal achievement. I help them process and prepare, so that they develop their unique brand of leadership.

What working with me looks like:

1
A first conversation:

This is not my time to sell you on an engagement. It’s your time to share your aims and ambitions, and to outline what you think are the obstacles ahead. This one-hour conversation is offered at no cost and no further obligation to you.

2
A road map:

Together, we’ll shape an engagement that identifies your unique goals and how we’ll work to achieve them. The course we chart includes topics to cover and resources to consult, as well as the cost of the engagement.

3
1-to-1 sessions:

These could be weekly or monthly … or something in between … or something beyond. They’re in person, via Zoom or by phone. Typically, they last an hour.

About the Sessions

In these sessions, we start with where you are and focus on your priorities. My role: Listen intently, ask provocative questions, offer real-life examples, challenge where necessary — and most of all, be the one voice you can count on for honesty and support.

Ping Power

Outside of our sessions, you might want to ping me with a question or quandary. I’ll answer your text or call, and then we’ll talk through what’s on your mind.

 

If you think I can help, tell me a little about yourself.

After which, we can have a one-hour conversation – at no cost and no further obligation to you.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Are you already in a leadership position?

For 30+ years, I’ve guided new and experienced leaders.

Initially, my consultancy focused on helping insurance agencies and brokerages grow. It evolved into helping leaders be the best they can be.

In this practice, I’ve helped over 50 professionals make their career trajectory from emerging leader to CEO to seasoned leader. Bottom line: My clients become and remain the leaders that others want to follow.

Leaders who’ve worked with me

"You took me from being frustrated and confused to better understanding my value. I initially thought of our engagement as work-related, but you helped me move forward as a person. Work is a very important aspect in my life, but it does not define me. Thanks for helping me understand my value, and more importantly understand what I value."
