Work with Me
How We Partner Together
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all coaching. Your challenges are specific, your values are unique, and your path forward should reflect that. Here’s how we can work together:
1:1 Coaching
For entry- and mid-level managers preparing for VP roles and executives leading transformation
This is deep, strategic work. We meet regularly (typically every 2 weeks) to build your executive presence from the inside out—starting with your Personalized Value Portrait (PVP), then creating your custom toolkit, and finally practicing until it's second nature.
What We’ll Do Together
Phase 1: Foundation (Sessions 1-2) Discover your core values, communication patterns, and what drives your authentic leadership through your Personalized Value Portrait. We'll identify your red flags (what triggers defensive reactions) and your resets (how to get back to balanced communication). You'll walk away understanding WHY you communicate the way you do.
Phase 2: Strategy (Sessions 3-5) Build your Executive Presence Toolkit rooted in YOUR values. We'll define your authentic leadership archetype, create stakeholder management strategies, develop your crisis communication playbook, and craft your leadership voice and messaging. No generic formulas—just frameworks that feel like you.
Phase 3: Execution (Sessions 6-10) Apply your toolkit to real situations happening right now. Preparing for a board presentation? We'll work on it. Stakeholder pushing back? We'll diagnose and adjust. High-stakes conversation coming up? We'll practice and refine. You'll get feedback, iterate, and build the sustainable habits that make executive presence automatic.
What You Get
→ 10 private 90-minute coaching sessions (virtual or in-person if Seattle-based)
→ Your complete Personalized Value Portrait (PVP) document
→ Custom Executive Presence Toolkit (templates, frameworks, playbooks)
→ Email/Slack support between sessions for urgent situations
→ Recordings of key sessions for your reference
→ 30-day check-in after program completion
Investment
$12,000 for 10-session program (payment plans available)
Individual 90-min sessions available at $1,500/session for existing clients or specific challenges
Timeline:
Most clients complete the program in 3-4 months, meeting every 2 weeks. We can accelerate or extend based on your needs and schedule.

Leadership Team Workshops
For executive teams, senior leadership groups, and high-potential cohorts
Your team doesn't just need better communication skills—they need a shared language, aligned values, and the ability to navigate complexity together. I design custom workshops that give teams operational frameworks they can use immediately.
Popular Workshop Topics
"Values-Based Leadership Communication" (Half-day or Full-day) Help your leadership team understand their individual value portraits, how those values show up in team dynamics, and how to communicate across different value systems. Teams leave with shared language and practical tools for reducing friction.
"Operational Communication for Leaders" (Half-day) Teach your managers the communication skills that actually drive results: how to align stakeholders, communicate strategic priorities, manage change effectively, and deliver messages that land the first time.
"Executive Presence Intensive" (Full-day) Accelerated program for high-potential leaders preparing for next-level roles. Covers authentic executive presence, stakeholder management, crisis communication basics, and strategic messaging.
"Leading Through Transformation" (Half-day) Equip leaders to communicate effectively during organizational change. Includes change management frameworks, stakeholder mapping, addressing resistance, and maintaining team morale through uncertainty.
What's Included
→ Pre-workshop consultation to customize content to your team's specific challenges
→ Interactive facilitation (not lecture-style)
→ Real frameworks and templates participants can use immediately
→ Digital workbook for all participants
→30-day post-workshop follow-up session to address implementation questions
Investment
Half-day workshop: Starting at $8,000
Full-day workshop: Starting at $15,000
Multi-day programs: Custom pricing
Pricing varies based on group size (optimal: 4-20 participants), location, and customization needs
Is This For You?
Workshops work best when:
You have a leadership team that needs alignment, not just training
Your organization is going through significant change
You're developing a cohort of high-potential leaders
You want practical tools, not motivational speaking
You're willing to invest in implementation, not just inspiration
Want to discuss a custom workshop?
Speaking Engagements
For conferences, leadership summits, and corporate events
I speak on the topics I've lived: operational communication, executive presence, culture transformation, and leading through chaos with clarity. My talks aren't motivational fluff—they're strategic frameworks your audience can apply immediately.
Featured Topics
"The Engagement Gauge: Cracking the Measurement Code to High-Performance Cultures" How to measure communication effectiveness beyond open rates and create cultures where people actually feel heard and engaged.
"Lead With Purpose, Communicate Effectively" The intersection of values-based leadership and operational communication—how authentic leadership drives measurable results.
"From Chaos to Clarity: Building Communication Frameworks That Scale" Real stories from building communication systems at Amazon and Oracle, with frameworks leaders can adapt to their organizations.
"Stop Imitating, Start Leading: The Authenticity Advantage" Why copying other executives doesn't work and how to develop executive presence rooted in your actual values.
Custom Topics Available - I can tailor content to your event theme and audience needs.

Advisory Retainers
For executives and organizations needing ongoing strategic support

→ Two 60-minute strategy sessions per month
→ Unlimited email/Slack support for urgent situations
→ Quick reviews of important presentations, emails, or communications

$5,000/month (3-month minimum commitment)
Is This For You?
Retainers work best if you:
Are a C-suite executive managing constant high-stakes situations
Lead a team that frequently needs communication support
Value having an expert who knows your context and can respond quickly
Don't need weekly coaching but want consistent strategic partnership
Are managing ongoing transformation or organizational change
Want to explore a retainer?
FAQs
-
Ask yourself: What's the cost of NOT solving this? Missed promotions, failed initiatives, team turnover, and damaged reputation all cost more than coaching. If you're serious about advancing your career and leading effectively, this is one of the highest-ROI investments you can make.
-
That's what the discovery call is for. I'm selective about who I work with because coaching only works when there's mutual commitment and alignment. If I don't think I can help you, I'll tell you—and often point you toward someone who can.
-
The 10-session program is designed to give you lasting transformation, not just quick fixes. That said, I do offer individual sessions for existing clients or leaders facing specific high-stakes situations. We can discuss what makes sense for your needs.
-
Yes. Most of my coaching is virtual, which means I work with clients across the U.S. and globally. For workshops and speaking, I travel as needed.
-
Most clients experience breakthroughs within the first 3-4 sessions. You'll have your PVP and initial toolkit by session 5, and by session 8, you're applying frameworks to real situations with confidence. Sustainable behavior change takes 3-4 months, which is why the program is designed that way.
-
Great! Many of my clients have their organizations cover the investment as leadership development. I can provide documentation for L&D departments, and we can discuss invoicing directly to your company.
-
Not currently. I focus on 1:1 coaching for maximum impact and customization, and leadership team workshops for group development. Group coaching doesn't allow for the depth of work I believe creates real transformation.
