Team
Effectiveness
Engagement typically begins with a diagnostic of your team's current state, strengths, and areas of opportunity. The solutions can be as simple as a facilitated dialogue among team members or as comprehensive as a full-day offsite experience.
Leadership Development
Solutions are designed to increase awareness of your strengths, development areas, motivations, and blind spots and how they influence your effectiveness at work.
My executive coaching practice provides the structure for exploration, insight, and action.
​Throughout our engagement we'll set goals, track indicators of progress so you can feel confident that we are moving the needle.
People + Culture (HR)
Advisory
Advisory services provide organizations with on-demand advisory and support.

I partner with organizations for as little as one hour for quick, targeted support or until they have their needs met.
