Assessed and coached a senior technology leader on interpersonal communications and relationship building that fundamentally shifted how he collaborated with others and his own wellbeing. He went on to lead a high stakes merger and successfully manage a new global team of great strategic importance to the company.
Worked with a senior investment executive to develop new capabilities and practices that enabled him to effectively navigate volatility and manage a newly virtual team in the time of COVID. He gained greater calm and an enhanced ability to see new strategies, possibilities and ideas.
Supported a senior leader in financial services to develop the vision and strategic point of view that enabled her to rise into a CEO role. Once she was in the new role, we worked on how she led and developed a values-based culture and strong executive team.
Coached a newly promoted senior leader to shift from being “the smartest guy in the room,” whose style generated a lot of toxic conflict, to being someone who united the team. He learned to listen deeply, open up to influence by others and speak the truth in a respectful way.
Worked with a leader who was hired to modernize a department at a philanthropic foundation and facing intense resistance. A 360-degree assessment created clarity on exactly where a shift to her approach would create a breakthrough. She was able to build alignment and led a change that became a new standard at the organization and beyond.
Coached a leader at a technology company who didn’t understand why she kept getting bypassed for promotion. A 360-degree assessment uncovered that she wasn’t communicating in ways needed at a senior level. Through our work together, she learned how to communicate more strategically and concisely, and she got the promotion she wanted and the senior leader the organization needed.
At its best, coaching can support a significant change of thoughts, emotional responses, actions and behaviors. I’ve been doing this work for 20 years and have helped many leaders achieve breakthroughs in these kinds of developmental changes.

I will care deeply about your success, and I will be committed to doing all I can to support it.
I’ve been doing this work for a long time and bring opinions and a point of view born of experience. I’ll help you play out the ideas you’re considering, explore new perspectives and give you honest feedback.
I blend a strong intuitive sense of what needs to happen with solid process and project management. In the event that you need something more or different than leadership coaching (e.g. training or team facilitation), I have an excellent bench of experts to tap.
We will adjust as we go to find solutions that best meet you and your context. I work with a wide variety of models and resources, we’ll find what best fits you.
Leaders exist within a larger context that includes the organization’s system and culture. We look at the whole picture so that we can help you create the sustainable change you are seeking.
