After 18 years at Dell Technologies, my role was eliminated.

The experience reinforced a belief I had seen play out throughout my career: business decisions eventually come back to cash flow. Business needs change. The most valuable leaders grow with them.

Today, I help high-performing executives close leadership gaps and deliver what the business needs next.

I work with leaders who already bring talent and experience, but need to strengthen a specific area, such as delegation, coaching, executive communication, decision-making, focus or leading through ambiguity.

The executives I work with are smart and committed. They don’t need generic leadership theory. They need to know which leadership gaps are getting in the way of what the business needs from them.

For me, leadership development only matters when better leadership improves business performance. That’s why every engagement connects the leader’s development to specific business outcomes.

One executive entered an engagement with a reactive management style, strained team dynamics and difficulty influencing senior leaders. Within 90 days, she improved her target leadership KPI 50% from baseline. Her reactive leadership patterns decreased, team stability improved and she began taking greater ownership of strategic decisions.

Another leader was preparing for the next level but needed to improve his delegation, prioritization and ability to lead through ambiguity.

After six months, his boss told me: “[Executive Name] has, in my mind, grown so much from a leadership perspective. I haven’t seen anybody adapt so quickly…This guy is a totally different person.”

Strong executives don’t always need to completely reinvent themselves. Sometimes one or two leadership gaps stand between where they are and the leader the business needs them to become.

If you are working through one of those gaps, or supporting an executive who is, let's have a conversation.

I work in a handful of ways including:

• Team Execution Training & Workshops
• Leadership Training & Facilitated Leadership Retreats
• 1:1 Executive Advisory
• Keynotes and Breakout Sessions
