I’m an Executive Leadership and Career Coach who works with leaders at inflection points: moments when the stakes rise, the path forward is unclear, and how you think and lead matters more than ever.I know these moments personally. I’ve competed at the highest levels as an Olympian and professional basketball player, climbed the corporate ladder to VP in a Fortune 500 company, built and scaled my own consulting business, and made multiple career pivots along the way.At inflection points:* The stakes get higher* Systems and relationships grow more complex* The “right” next step is less obviousAt the same time:* Mental and emotional capacity is tested* Old strategies stop working* Resilience and mindset matter much more than technical skillIn sport, coaching becomes non-negotiable as competition intensifies.
I believe leadership and career inflection points are no different.My clients come to me for:* Confidence grounded in values, strengths and built through intentional experimentation* A clear, articulated theory of leadership that builds high-performing teams* Support stepping into a bigger leadership identity with broader influence and more complex decisions* Energy and priority management that prevents burnout and sustains performance* The freedom to design the next chapter of their career—on their termsI work with corporate leaders, founders, solopreneurs, and people navigating meaningful career transitions.I don’t use a one-size-fits-all program. Every coaching engagement is customized, because every leader, and every inflection point, is unique. My work is grounded in deep listening and research-based frameworks from neuroscience, organizational psychology, adult learning, positive psychology, emotional intelligence, and high-performance sport.
