You first

You know how they tell you to put your oxygen mask on first before helping others? Leadership today isn’t just demanding — it’s relentless, that’s why you need to prioritize your needs first. My mentoring philosophy is like that. 

Let’s take care of you, and get down to business.

I create a fluid space for reflection, guidance, and unvarnished insight tailored to meet your specific needs — helping you navigate complexity and competing interests while maintaining resilience.

Board Chair

You are here for one of two reasons. Your CEO is on track but it’s taking its toll. Alternately, you have a new CEO coming on board but you don’t really have a proper onboarding plan. You need a third party navigator. Start-ups and scale-ups, I’m referring to you.

HR Executive

You have a wild child, truly gifted but a bit rough in the playground. Experience has taught me that we don’t fix people. If you’re looking to create more harmony and efficacy, then I can help.
