Having held responsibilities for global projects, traveling and working with both physical and virtual teams in multiple countries for Fortune 50 companies such as BP and Microsoft, I help organizations and their leaders achieve strategic objectives and maximum performance through coaching, and communicative leadership.
I have a strong track record working with clients facing challenges such as transitioning to more complex roles that demand skills beyond technical expertise, gaining support across complex matrix structures to achieve business outcomes and developing a leadership style that engages followers and stakeholders. I have worked with leaders who have received feedback such as: ‘take a more strategic approach,’ ‘raise your game,’ ‘develop your stakeholder base,’ or ‘build your profile.’ I have assisted these clients in making sense of this feedback and making changes that they and others rate as successful, valuable and genuine.
Practical and direct, I can quickly distil the factors amplifying a client’s impact on his or her team and business. Experienced in organizational dynamics, I can balance my individual clients’ goals with those of the organizations investing in coaching.
As a frequent guest speaker in conferences, you can catch my TEDx talk on The Happiness Advantage here (click subtitles for English). Coaching/mentoring start up companies is one of my passion points and ways of giving back to the communities in which I conduct business. I am also part of the coaching team at SupporTED program offering my support to TED Fellows bringing together young world-changers and trailblazers who have shown unusual accomplishment and exceptional courage.
What interests me is helping sharp, intelligently curious people overcome barriers that may be keeping them from achieving more. Passion and boldness can make the art and science of leading easier to navigate. So, have fire; feel with your brain; don't be afraid.
