Let's grow.
I'm focused on the intersection of leadership
and business strategy.
You should be too.
How I Can Help
You have a strategy, but it's really just a document that exists in a file somewhere. Today your leadership team is working in silos on their own objectives rather than putting the enterprise goals first and making decisions feels contentious or even impossible. Teams are feeling overstretched and asking for more resources to manage the load. Maybe business goals are on track to be missed, you aren't seeing the growth you know is possible but you're too busy for some strategy session or team building exercise that probably won't move the needle anyways.
Sound familiar? I can help.
Most business leaders know strategy is important and leadership is important, but how the two interconnect is the critical component that is often overlooked. And it’s the secret that will take you from good to great.
I've lived the CEO view. I've been a member of the executive team. I've seen the difference that strategy alignment and having the right people focused on the right things can make in achieving business outcomes and sustaining success. I can help you experience it too.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT?
Combining strategy and leadership to supercharge your efforts
You've likely thought about your business strategy, and your leadership team. You may even have hired consultants to help you think about each separately. But these two things are so inextricably linked, you will find greater success faster when you consider the two together. Your strategy is the big idea, and your leadership team is what will make it come to life or flounder.
The view from the top
You'll benefit from my lived experience of understanding the business as only a CEO can. Whether you're the CEO yourself or you report to one, you have to know that the most senior leaders have unique challenges and therefore require unique solutions. It can be lonely at the top, but it doesn't have to be.
A true partner
I offer you much more than a once a year strategy session with a fancy deck to leave behind. When you work with me, you gain a true partner who will help set you up for success and see it through. An engagement with me can last anywhere from 6 to 24 months as we work together to optimize your strategy and leadership team for the immediate and long term. Plus, I promise we'll have fun.
