Executive Experience. Proven Results.
I bring over three decades of senior leadership experience across government and corporate sectors, including serving as Deputy Assistant Administrator for Aviation Policy at the Federal Aviation Administration. I’ve led organizations of more than 1,400 employees through transformation, strategy shifts, and cultural change.
I understand the pressures that come with executive leadership like competing priorities, misalignment that slows progress, and the toll it takes when trust erodes. Today, I help organizations and their leaders move from high pressure to high performance by embedding clarity, alignment, and influence at every level.
I’m also an award-winning, bestselling author and national media-featured thought leader for my work on leadership, truth-telling, and building resilient, human-centered cultures.
Advisory, Workshops, and Speaking That Turn Strategy Into Performance
Every organization has a strategy but not every organization has alignment. My services are built to close that gap. Through tailored advisory partnerships, executive communication strategy, immersive workshops, speaking engagements, and curated Fiercely Joyful™ Leadership Truth Rooms, I help teams translate strategy into behavior, strengthen trust across the organization, and create cultures where clarity and performance can thrive.
Retained Leadership Advisory
Ongoing partnerships with executive teams to address misalignment, strengthen leadership cohesion, and embed accountability across the organization. Drawing on three decades of senior leadership experience, I help diagnose the root causes of cultural friction and guide leaders toward consistent, measurable improvement.
Executive Strategy Sessions
Half-day or full-day working sessions designed to help senior leaders realign priorities, clarify messaging, and improve decision-making. These sessions are fast-moving, practical, and focused on outcomes that enhance influence, trust, and performance.
Leadership Workshops
Immersive sessions built on decades of executive experience. These workshops help leaders translate strategy into practice by strengthening alignment, improving communication, and building cultures of trust and accountability.
Executive Communication Strategy
Clear communication builds confident leadership. I work with executives and senior teams to sharpen messaging, strengthen alignment, and lead with clarity in high-stakes settings from boardrooms to town halls. These engagements improve how leaders connect, influence, and drive trust across the organization.
Culture-Shaping Speaking Engagements
Keynotes and panels that deliver real-world insight on alignment, influence, and the future of leadership. Each talk blends personal experience, sharp analysis, and actionable frameworks that inspire leaders to perform with both precision and humanity.
Fiercely Joyful™ Leadership Truth Rooms
Confidential, invitation-only gatherings where senior leaders step out of performance mode to engage in real conversation. Organizations host Fiercely Joyful™ Leadership Truth Rooms to cultivate openness, alignment, and psychological safety at the top—because culture starts in the room where truth is spoken.
Clarity Creates Confidence. Confidence Builds Trust. Trust Drives Results.
Most leadership breakdowns aren’t about bad strategy. They stem from misalignment, silence, and fear of candor. My approach blends executive experience with proven frameworks to turn pressure into performance.
When leaders gain clarity, they make better decisions.
When they build trust, teams engage.
When alignment becomes habit, culture and performance scale naturally.
