About
Most of my career has been focused on developing and enabling people’s potential. I love to see that light in someone’s eyes when they finally understand or achieve something they’ve been struggling with. From creating and facilitating management training programs at multiple commercial banks, to leading the learning and development function for Capital One’s commercial banking division, and then transitioning into full-time leadership coaching – seeing that light just never gets old. Witnessing and being a part of someone’s breakthrough is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.
No matter what role I’ve been in I realize change, even change we really desire, still doesn’t happen as easily and quickly as we’d like. This is because most solutions usually only focus on behavioral change.
To successfully achieve a change, we have to do two additional things:
1) Consciously make underlying mindset shifts and
2) Regulate our over-stressed nervous systems.
We cannot learn, change, and be resilient when we are in stress-mode.
THIS is what differentiates our approach to leadership development. Our solutions address all three layers: behavioral change, mindset shifts, and nervous system regulation. Not only are our learning and coaching clients developing, expanding and refining their leadership skills, but they are also learning how to move from a stressed state in which clear thinking is impossible, to a calm, creative, productive, flow state.
As Leaders, when we can stay calm in the midst of chaos we can help everyone around us grow their own resilience. That’s the pathway to professional and personal fulfillment.
Learning sticks. Change happens. Lights shine.
