Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with executives in local, regional, national, international, and global organizations. Over the past few years, I have coached leaders from the frontline to the C-suite, learning the challenges that are universal and those that are unique. As the host of more than 100 episodes of the Qonversations podcast, I have interviewed thought leaders from around the world on their areas of specialization (e.g., Artificial Intelligence in the workplace; building leadership teams). In addition, my deep experience in organizational change management coupled with my understanding of the psychology and neuroscience of people moving through change, allow me to bring expert coaching into every session.

Leadership is hard work. Leading in a dynamic, high stakes environment is even harder. The practices and skills that got you here won’t get you where you want to be. Much like elite athletes and performers, the most effective leaders get coached. And they get coached by elite coaches. I provide top-tier coaching to high-impact executives and operators who want to perform at a higher level. I leverage my 15+ years of experience as an operator and executive where I built some of the top companies in the world, including DoorDash, Neighbor, and LinkedIn. My coaching is customized to meet the needs of each client and addresses the whole person, not just their work self. I use a combination of best-in-class assessments, quantitative and qualitative 360-degree feedback, and intense inquiry to help clients achieve outstanding business outcomes and live an intentional life. Common areas of coaching include: * Strengthening your ability to succeed during periods of complexity, doubt, and uncertainty * Building confidence in your ability to deliver results, take calculated risks, and build trust * Improving essential leadership skills including setting expectations, giving feedback, prioritization, accountability, and communicating effectively * Discovering your blindspots, developing greater self-awareness and enhancing your ability to emotionally regulate * Balancing competing demands and priorities at work and in life What you get from me: * Hard-won perspective from an executive who’s sat in boardrooms, made the hard decisions, and built industry-changing companies * Access to my world-class network; I’ll connect you with functional experts as needed * Access to my “best of” library, including the top templates, frameworks, models, and content I’ve created and curated over the last 15+ years * An unbiased partner who’ll create a personalized development plan that delivers results * A coach who always has your back but won’t hesitate to call BS as needed
