Something Was Missing
After 30+ years designing leadership programs for companies like Gillette, P&G, Takeda, and Pacific Western Bank, I had a track record of high-energy workshops that earned consistently strong evaluations.
But I kept seeing the same frustrating pattern: leaders would return to their roles still avoiding difficult conversations, struggling to influence peers, and getting stuck on cross-functional initiatives. The insights were there—the application wasn't.
The Big Challenge
Traditional training drops you back into the fray with a binder—and a prayer. Cross-functional leaders don’t have spare hours to figure out how to turn new ideas into real influence and faster decisions.
I realized I’d become the VP of Hope: hoping people would practice the skills, hoping the change would stick. Hope isn’t a strategy; leaders—and their companies—deserve better.
The Solution
I launched In-Sight Leadership Solutions to bridge that gap on two fronts:
→ Executive Insights™ Coaching
Six-month, one-to-one engagements that embed leadership development directly into real work—using actual stakeholder challenges, live projects, and immediate feedback to build influence and executive presence.
→ Custom Leadership Development Programming
Culture-matched programs that weave proven frameworks—Situational Leadership®, Mastering the Matrix®, TypeCoach Influence™—into your specific business challenges, so entire cohorts develop the same enterprise-ready skills.
Together, they create sustainable change: individuals get personalized coaching while organizations build consistent leadership practices that stick.
Building Enterprise-Ready Leaders
Through both executive coaching and leadership development curricula, I help organizations accelerate leadership readiness and drive strategic initiatives forward.
Throughout my career, I've developed leadership programs for Fortune 500 companies across biopharma, medical devices, and financial services, helping them build stronger pipelines. Meanwhile, my one-to-one executive coaching clients confidently step into C-suite and VP roles, equipped with the influence and presence needed to succeed.
HAPPY CLIENTS
“These executives show up as enterprise thinkers—calm under pressure, credible with the board, and two steps ahead of organizational challenges—while building the leadership pipeline behind them.”
