Executive and Leadership Coaching
There’s no such thing as a “born leader.” People get promoted, they take over a family business, they start or buy a business; suddenly, they’re in charge. And let’s face it, leading can be pretty lonely, even for the most experienced leaders.
I work with individuals in confidential, one-on-one coaching. I help clients refine the tools to build high-performing teams by focusing on improving interpersonal and professional communication, enhancing performance, creating an openness to change, cultivating strategic thinking, effective conflict resolution, and developing an executive presence.

Business assessments are designed to identify problems within an organization and determine solutions to address them. Examples of assessment areas include leadership and organizational effectiveness, employee engagement, and post-acquisition integration. I work with clients to identify behaviors, practices and processes that may cause risk to the operation of the business and provide tangible solutions and recommendations for positive change.
Brainstorming sessions, retreats, management meetings, client advisory meetings — frequently, the best way to learn and grow as a team is to create an open environment where people can share ideas and freely express concerns or address sensitive topics. Oftentimes, this is most effective with the help of an outside person who can facilitate the open exchange of ideas. I am experienced in this invaluable team-building process with management teams, non-profit boards and business teams. More importantly, I know how to distill ideas and translate them into the tangible, actionable goals that should be the “take-away” from this process.
I work with clients to ensure their vision, objectives, and strategy are aligned. From helping to recruit and assemble the right team, to implementing systems and processes, I enable clients to create an actionable short and long-term strategic plan, along with ongoing support, as needed, through all phases of execution.
Defining the job and finding the right person to fill it is one of the hardest tasks for a business. I work with clients to fill key positions in their organizations by helping them create an appropriate job description, which often includes guidance on compensation packages that provide incentive for new recruits, while minimizing risk to the business. I also assist in the search process by pre-screening applicants and conducting interviews.
I have been a keynote speaker at industry events in the U.S. and Canada. I have spoken to organizations on such topics as The KPIs of Integrity Leadership, Recruiting and Retaining Superstar Managers, and The Business Case for a More Diverse Workforce. I am available to customize a presentation to meet your needs.
