Helping leaders rise to what’s next.
Most leaders I work with are very good at what they do.
What has changed is the role around them: a promotion, a new venture to build, a shift from doing the work to leading it.
I help leaders and leadership teams make that shift with clarity, without burning out or losing their people along the way.
When the role changes
Leadership rarely falters for lack of competence.
It strains under timing, load, identity and structure. The leaders I work with usually find me at one of three moments:
- Stepping up.
- Building something.
- Redefining contribution.

How I Help
- Leadership Coaching – 1:1 work with executives, founders and newly promoted leaders, grounded in the Leadership Circle Profile and EQi 2.0.
- Team Facilitation – helping leadership teams agree on who owns what, how decisions get made, and how they hold each other accountable.
- Organizational Consulting – guiding organizations through leadership transitions, restructuring and growth.
Why Work With Me
I’ve been where you are. I spent more than 25 years building and leading organizations. I founded two design firms, grew their teams, and served as board president of two professional associations. I know from the inside what it’s like when the role changes before you feel ready for it. Today, I bring that experience, together with my ICF coaching credential and certified assessment tools, to leaders in any sector.
