Leadership Development Advisory + Coach
The problem isn’t always what you think it is.
Leadership development and coaching for consumer, retail, wellness and beauty brands.
For the leadership problem you’ve already tried to fix once. I help CEOs, executive teams, and People leaders at mid-size consumer, retail, wellness and beauty brands find what’s really holding their leaders back, build what fixes it, and make it stick.

Sound familiar?
If you’ve said any of these out loud, we should talk.
You don’t need to know exactly what’s causing it. Figuring that out is literally my job.
01
“We’ve grown faster than our leaders have, and it’s starting to show in missed targets and turnover.”
02
“Our managers were promoted for being great at the work, not at leading people, and their teams are paying for it.”
03
“We’ve spent real money on leadership training, and six months later nobody leads any differently.”
04
“We keep having the same conversation about accountability, and the deadlines keep slipping.”
05
“One leader is dragging down everyone around them, and we can’t put our finger on why.”
06
“We know exactly what needs fixing. We just don’t have anyone with the time or expertise to fix it.”
07
“My leadership team agrees in the room, then does their own thing.”
08
“Since the re-org, nobody’s sure who owns what.”
What it’s costing you
Small problems get expensive when they’re ignored. Most leaders don’t see them until there’s a fire.
Training that doesn’t transfer
Budget spent on programs people enjoy and forget. Satisfaction scores go up. Behavior stays the same.
Good people walking out
People leave managers. Every regretted exit means recruiting, ramp time, and a team picking up the slack.
Decisions that stall
When ownership is murky, work waits on the few people everyone escalates to, and the business can’t move at the speed it needs.
A People team stretched thin
Your HR team keeps the function running. The leadership work keeps getting pushed to next quarter.
Fixing the right thing first costs far less than fixing the wrong thing well.
How I work
I diagnose before I prescribe. Get clear, then get somewhere.
We get clear on the real issue first, then build what addresses it. Four areas of work, not four required steps.
01
Diagnose
What is actually getting in the way?
Surface the root causes and the few priorities most likely to create movement.
02
Define and Align
What does the business need from its leaders?
Clarity on expectations, ownership, priorities, decisions, and ways of working.
03
Develop and Equip
What will help leaders operate differently?
Development, coaching, and tools built around the real gap.
04
Embed and Sustain
What will make the change last?
Talent practices, operating rhythms, and ongoing support that hold the new behavior.
In practice
Done at scale, inside global brands.
