Personal Details

Bio

I’ve spent 20 years working in organizational transformations and I discovered the #1 path to real change and improvement was through helping leaders rise to the challenge of their role. For the last 5 years I’ve been coaching senior and executive leaders at companies like VML, Ford, Pfizer, Wendy’s, T-Mobile, GE, and many others doing just that!

I am CPCC certified through the Coactive Training Institute

I hold the ACC (Associate Certified Coach) credential through the ICF (International Coaching Federation)

Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) Certified

I have hundreds of hours of coaching experience with senior to executive leaders

I have 20 years of experience applying lean/agile principles to leadership, organizations, and processes

I am also a passionate and skilled facilitator who creates safe spaces for teams and leaders to tackle organizational, product, or interpersonal issues and co-create solutions.

Leading without Authority

Leadership doesn't come with a title.

In today's world many of us are expected to lead well before we get the leadership role. Even if that weren't the case, the ambitious have learned that learning to lead gets you the job. Then there are those who just want to make things better and realize it's going to take leadership from someone, maybe even them. Lastly, there are those who have the role and need to learn when to leverage authority and when to pull another tool out of their leadership toolbox. No matter how you look at it, having a firm grasp on how and when to use authority is a great way to make a difference and boost your career
