The Methodology Behind the Results

Most leadership training focuses on theory. My approach is built on thirty years of high-stakes behavioral health and organizational leadership. I don't just teach you how to manage; I teach you how to lead at the speed of people.

I've spent the last 25 years helping executives and managers move past the "surface behaviors" of their teams to address the root causes of friction. We focus on three specific shifts:

  • From Reactive to Responsive: Developing the emotional intelligence to stay calm when everyone else is panicking.
  • From Tension to Trust: Using the CARE Model™ to rebuild cultures that have become siloed or toxic.
  • From Avoiding to Navigating: Mastering the tough conversations that most leaders put off until it's too late.

Is coaching right for me?

Coaching works best for leaders who are ready to invest in their growth and committed to creating real change. If you're feeling stuck, stressed, or struggling with team dynamics—and you're willing to do the work—coaching will help you break through those barriers.

Do you work with leaders in all industries?

Yes! While much of my background is in healthcare leadership, the principles of people-centered leadership apply across all industries. I've worked with leaders in healthcare, finance, manufacturing, technology, education, and more.

What makes your approach different?

I focus on the human side of leadership—the relationships, communication, and self-awareness that most leadership training overlooks. My frameworks are practical, proven, and based on 30+ years of real-world experience, not just theory.
