Custom Work

Bespoke Learning Experiences

I design workshops, onboarding training, e-learning programs, and personalized development plans. Clients hire me to tackle challenges like…

Speech bubble with text about employee motivation, reading: "It’s tough work. We want our employees to feel inspired, and not depend on their boss for a pep talk."
A logo of Nationwide insurance featuring a blue letter N with a white eagle's wing. A speech bubble from the logo contains the text: "We have big goals ahead. Our leaders need to win the hearts and minds of their teams."
A logo with the word 'DRAFT' in green, a crown above the 'D,' and a speech bubble containing a quote about leadership and responsibility.
Diagram with a speech bubble containing the quote: 'Our team needs to be actively bought-in to the evolution we're making as an organization. Every person counts.' Next to the bubble is the logo of Thyssenkrupp, consisting of intersecting lines forming a complex geometric pattern and the company name in lowercase blue letters.

Culture & Engagement Consulting

When employees aren’t engaged, it starts a flywheel, of reduced productivity, deteriorating customer relationships, and ultimately, poor financial performance. 

High-performing organizations don’t wait for perfect conditions. They empower their teams to excel in imperfect conditions.

What I solve for:

  • You need to attract and retain more top-talent

  • You’re seeing a lack of engagement, accountability, and urgency

  • You want to preserve your culture in the face of ambitious goals or change

  • Your frontline managers are underprepared or overwhelmed in leadership.

I’ve helped organizations like Salesforce, Draft Kings, and Fiserv engage the talent they need to win their markets. I’ve also helped companies in corporate banking, concrete, and telecom galvanize their teams.  And maybe, I can help you too!

Executive Coaching Sprints

I’m not your “every other Tuesday for a year” kind of coach. I coach through intensity. 

When something high-stakes, emotionally charged, or politically sensitive is happening at work — and your next move really matters — that’s when I do my best work.

Whether you’re:

  • Caught in the middle of a leadership pile-up and trying to emerge with your reputation intact

  • Expected to deliver results yesterday — with zero support and a ticking clock

  • Playing mediator between executive egos, HR policies, and the people actually doing the work

  • Trying to exit (or stay) with clarity, confidence, and no unnecessary drama

  • Or staring at your screen thinking, “I cannot afford to get this wrong”

I help you figure out what to say, how to say it, and how to protect your leadership reputation while staying true to yourself.

This isn’t leadership development over lattes. This is sharp, fast, focused coaching when the pressure is high and the path is murky. I won’t promise a perfect resolution, but you’ll leave with stronger language, clearer thinking, and a plan you can stand behind.  

I (usually) work in sprints: weekly sessions over 4-6 weeks, with on-call support via voice note or email in between.
