My Advisory Approach

As an advisor, I work closely with CEOs and leadership teams to provide counsel, inspire different thinking, and navigate friction points to achieving growth goals.

Operating from the mindset “what got us here won’t get us there”, I inspire leaders to approach situations differently and come up with new solutions that elevate the organization.

Once I align with a CEO on their agenda, I meet with senior leadership teams 1:1 or in group settings to challenge leaders to view situations through a new lens and step outside their comfort zone to benefit the organization. As an outside party, I have the benefit of delivering objective feedback and experience-based observations that lead directly to personal, professional, and organizational transformation.

As a result of my involvement as an advisor, you can expect your leadership team to present new ideas, navigate roadblocks more effectively, and develop as leaders of people—all of which will contribute to your ability to grow and scale.

How does it work?

After understanding your growth goals and friction points, I am available to CEOs and senior leadership teams on an ongoing basis to meet with individuals, host group sessions, and design and execute growth strategies within your organization.


How will it benefit my organization?

While workshops are designed as one-day experiences, advisory work is for organizations that want an active, ongoing partner to assist in their growth and scaling efforts. As part of your team, I’ll apply my real-world experience and knowledge to help leaders in your organization navigate roadblocks and overcome friction points to achieve your goals.
