Leadership is both art and practice. Let's develop yours together.
My Approach
After three decades leading independent schools and mission-driven organizations, I've learned that great leadership isn't just about vision and results — it's about developing the clarity, confidence, and resilience to lead authentically through uncertainty.
As a leadership performance coach and consultant, I partner with school heads, nonprofit executives, aspiring leaders, and administrative teams navigating organizational change, board dynamics, and the weight of leadership isolation. I provide a confidential space for honest reflection, strategic thinking, and decisive action.
I'm not here to tell you what I did. I'm here to help you discover what you need to do — and who you need to become — to lead with greater effectiveness and authenticity.
My coaching and consulting is grounded in
Real-world experience — Three decades leading schools through transformation, capital campaigns, cultural change, and complex stakeholder dynamics
Deep sector knowledge — I understand the unique pressures of independent schools and mission-driven organizations because I've lived them
ICF-certified methodology — Trained through Brown University's Leadership & Performance Coaching program
BoardSource certification — Specialized expertise in nonprofit governance and board effectiveness
Through structured coaching conversations, I help leaders gain clarity on complex strategic challenges, develop authentic communication that builds trust, navigate difficult transitions and organizational dynamics, balance competing priorities while staying aligned with core values, and build sustainable practices that prevent burnout.
Who I Work With
School Heads & Nonprofit Executive Directors — Experienced leaders seeking a confidential thinking partner who understands the work
New & Transitioning Leaders — Heads and EDs in their first years, or leading through significant institutional change
Aspiring & Emerging Leaders — Assistant heads, division heads, deans, and rising nonprofit leaders ready to step into greater responsibility
Leadership Teams — Senior teams seeking greater alignment, cohesion, and the ability to navigate difficult conversations
Board Chairs — Volunteer leaders building clarity and a productive partnership with their head or ED
Schools & Nonprofits with Institutional Projects — Organizations ready to move on strategic planning, board development, and major organizational change
I also work with mission-driven leaders outside of education and the nonprofit sector.
