Executive Advisory
For executives who need a confidential thought partner
At the executive level, you're making decisions with a limited pool of people who understand the complexity you're dealing with. If you're new to the role, you're figuring out the organizational dynamics and how you fit in. Your peers are often competitors, and the challenges you're facing aren't always ones you can discuss openly.
I work alongside you as your confidential thought partner. Together, we'll tackle what you're facing—whether it's executive team dynamics, stakeholder challenges, organizational change, or the complex situations that come with leadership. You'll develop clarity, confidence, and practical approaches that work for your reality.
Leadership Through Transformation
For leaders navigating major organizational change
You're leading a significant transformation—M&A integration, system implementation, organizational restructuring, new regulatory requirements. The technical work has a plan, but the real challenge is leadership: aligning stakeholders with competing agendas, influencing people you don't control, managing resistance, and keeping teams engaged through disruption.
I work with you through the leadership challenges that determine whether the initiative succeeds or fails. We'll navigate the stakeholder dynamics, develop influence strategies, and work through the decisions that don't have clear answers. You're driving the initiative—I'm helping you lead through it effectively.

Leading Through Crisis & Complexity
For leaders navigating critical challenges that require strong presence
When you're facing a major issue—operational crisis, organizational challenge, or complex problem—your team is looking to you for leadership. But it's easy to get stuck: frozen in fear, operating in fight-or-flight mode, or narrowing your thinking when you need to be strategic. The pressure to solve it yourself can be overwhelming.
Leading your team through significant disruption or crisis requires showing up with presence, clarity, and the right leadership energy.
I work with you on how you're showing up in these critical moments. Together, we'll identify where you might be stuck in reactive patterns and shift you into the leadership presence your team needs. Whether you're leading through influence without authority, rallying an overwhelmed team behind a new initiative, or navigating stakeholder resistance—you'll develop practical approaches to lead effectively through complexity.
