My clients range from startups to companies with decades of legacy success. Most of my clients have a staff team of about a dozen colleagues, but I have worked with companies that range in size from 1 to 100+. Annual operating budgets for my clients range from less than $100K to more than $100M, but I specialize in nonprofit companies in the $2-25M range.
My Leadership Style
I adhere to the principles of servant leadership, believing that my real job is to help others do their best work in service to our shared mission. I clearly articulate complex problems and guide teams to implement solutions. I insist on data, applied with empathy. With my strong international background, I convene diverse teams and mentor top talent.
My own leadership training began when I was thrown in the deep end at age 22, charged with dozens of union stagehands with decades of experience each. We quickly developed a rapport where they were not staff, they were trusted advisors. Since then, I have supervised teams large and small solving problems, mustering resources, and leveraging each member’s unique skills.
Public Speaking & Facilitation
From interactive training programs to large group presentations, I have several programs ready to deliver and I customize content for every audience.
I am a member of the Mid-Atlantic Facilitator Network (MAFN) and specialize in event management, presentation delivery, and group facilitation. In particular, I have expertise facilitating programs for complex strategy workshops and executive audiences.
