It’s Alignment. Period.
Keynotes, Workshops and Advisory Support for Leadership Teams.
Most leadership teams work hard. But when priorities aren't shared, trust is uneven, and accountability is inconsistent, effort alone won't close the gap. I help leaders see what's actually happening inside their teams, and take clear, practical steps to fix it.

HOW I THINK ABOUT CULTURE
Culture is built one decision at a time.
Every engagement is grounded in the Culture Pyramid, the framework at the heart of Built on Purpose. It gives leadership teams a shared language for what they’re building and a clear view of where it’s starting to crack.
Self-Awareness Makes for a Better Leader
Leaders can’t fix what they can’t see.
Culture is Built Through Intentional Action
Every decision, behavior and communication shapes it.
Alignment Beats Effort
When teams are aligned, performance follows.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Find the right starting point.
Most clients start with a keynote or a workshop. When a team wants to go deeper, the 90-Day Culture Reset and the Executive Advisor Retainer carry the work forward.

“It felt like I was having a conversation with my mentor who’s been there and genuinely wants to help others succeed.”

“An exceptional read…valuable insights for leaders at every stage.”
Five-star review, on Built on Purpose
Built on Purpose
Every organization has a culture. The real question is whether anyone built it on purpose. Drawing on 30 years in financial services and the award-winning book Built on Purpose, I walk audiences through the Culture Pyramid and the real stories behind it. Leaders leave with a clear way to see their own culture and a few practical steps they can take on Monday morning.
KEYNOTE - 45 MINUTES
BEST FOR
Association meetings, leadership conferences, company offsites, employee resource groups.

WORKSHOP - HALF DAY
Half-Day Culture Workshop
Your leadership team spends a focused half-day working through the Culture Pyramid together. We name where your culture is strong, where it’s slipping, and what’s getting in the way. The team leaves with a short list of shared commitments and a common language to hold each other to them.

Leadership teams of 4 to 15 heading into a new year, a reorganization, or a stretch of change

A pre-session call with the team leader, plus a signed book and companion journal for every participant.

The 90-Day Culture Reset
"Our leaders aren't consistently strong, and I fear we're not getting the most out of our employees. Our engagement results seem to back that up."
If you've said something like this, in a leadership meeting, to your HR Business Partner, or to yourself, you're not alone. And you probably already know that another survey, another offsite, or another round of one-on-ones won't fix it.
The 90-Day Culture Reset diagnoses where alignment is breaking down, brings your leadership team together to reset around what matters most, and stays engaged long enough to make sure it actually sticks.
DEEPER ENGAGEMENT
PHASE 1 - WEEKS 1 TO 3
See Clearly
Confidential one-on-one conversations with each member of your leadership team. No surveys, no forms. The output is a Culture Snapshot: a clear, honest picture of where your team actually is.
PHASE 2 - WEEK 4
Reset Together
A facilitated half-day workshop built directly from your Culture Snapshot. Your team's own specific themes, friction points, and opportunities. Leaders leave with shared clarity, concrete commitments, and a common language for moving forward.
PHASE 3 - MONTHS 2 TO 3
Make It Stick
Monthly follow-through sessions keep momentum alive, surface what's working and what isn't, and hold the team to its commitments. This is where many engagements fail, and where this one keeps going.
WHO IT’S FOR
Leadership teams of 4 to10, typically led by a VP, SVP, or division president who knows something needs to change. Also a strong fit for HR leaders who recognize the problem but lack the bandwidth to address it with outside objectivity.
$10,000
Founding client rate for a limited number of engagements. Standard pricing moves to $15,000 to $18,000.
ONGOING - 6-MONTH MIN
Executive Advisor Retainer
Senior leaders rarely have someone outside the politics to think out loud with. For years I served as Chief of Staff to C-level executives, helping them navigate the people, the pressure, and the decisions that don’t show up on an org chart. This retainer puts that same partner in your corner.
You get a trusted thinking partner who learns your organization, understands your team dynamics, and is available when the hard decisions come up.
INCLUDES
One 60-minute session each month with you or your leadership team
Access between sessions for questions, decisions, and real-time sounding-board support
One half-day workshop each year
$2,500 / month
Executive Writing & Thought Leadership
Helping leaders clarify their thinking and amplify their voice
Every leader has a perspective worth sharing. Most just don't have the time or the right structure to put it into words. I work with executives, founders and professionals to turn their experience into ideas that resonate; both inside their teams and with a wider audience.
WHAT I CAN HELP WITH
Thought leadership articles and LinkedIn content that amplify your voice and build a following
Book development and collaborative writing from strategic editing to full ghostwriting
Executive storytelling and narrative development for leaders ready to lead with words as well as action
Self-publishing guidance and positioning, including navigating Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) and optimizing your book for discoverability
From Insight to Action
Built on Purpose: Lessons in Leadership and Culture lays the philosophy behind my work.

My advisory work brings it all to life.
Let me help you the way others helped me.
