About

Most leadership teams don't lack talent. They lack alignment, accountability, and execution discipline. Entrepreneurs build businesses for freedom and impact, yet growth often erodes both. When the leadership team struggles, the business stops delivering what its leaders actually want. I am a Certified EOS Implementer® and leadership team performance specialist. I help entrepreneurs get more of what they want from their business by strengthening the group that shapes everything else: the leadership team. As a former CIA operative with over 1,000 hours of team coaching and facilitation, I am trained to read human dynamics, surface unspoken friction, and lead direct dialogue under pressure. I implement EOS by blending disciplined systems with behavioral intelligence — so the framework doesn't just get adopted, but drives measurable traction. I also serve as a Strategic Alliance Partner to the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) Washington DC chapter — a vetted, trusted advisor role in which I act as the chapter's resident expert on EOS adoption, team performance coaching, and strategic change management for EO's community of entrepreneurial business owners. I specialize in optimizing teams that include neurodivergent leaders (ADHD, AuDHD, Autism Spectrum, Dyslexia, PDA). I help high-autonomy visionaries channel innovation through structure — aligning how leaders actually think and operate with the discipline required to scale. How I Help: Implement EOS with rigor and clarity Strengthen leadership team accountability Align Visionary (CEO) and Integrator (COO) partnerships Facilitate direct, issue-focused dialogue Convert strategy into consistent execution The goal isn't just a healthier leadership team. It's a business that works for its leaders, not the other way around.
