I help organizations prepare the leaders they're counting on for what comes next. Most of my clients are budget-holding leaders—CEOs, COOs, owners, program directors—who need a capable leader to operate at a higher level during growth, restructuring, or change: to think more strategically, make stronger decisions with less escalation, build ownership in their team, and bring people through uncertainty. I'm an organizational scientist, executive coach, keynote speaker, and former Head of Enterprise Change Readiness for a global technology and engineering company, where I led change across tens of thousands of employees. That experience is why I don't coach the individual in isolation: I work with the sponsor, the leader, and the organizational conditions around them. How I use AQ: the AQme assessment anchors my six-month executive coaching engagements, leadership team programs, and keynotes on adaptability and leading through change. Clients get a clear picture of how they respond when conditions shift, and a practical path to leading well when the plan breaks. Based in Elgin, Illinois, serving the Chicago area and clients nationally, in person and virtually. Clients range from small businesses and nonprofits to Fortune 500 organizations.
