Services that help you build, scale, and grow.

Are you needing to build accountability and development practices into your business or academic culture? Using innovative leadership tools, I’ll customize training and coaching packages for you and/or your team so you can build trust and increase accountability.

A productive, high-functioning team establishes trust between members, engages in idea generation and commits to decisions while holding members accountable. You’ll see results when teams think like an entrepreneur and act like a shareholder.

With nearly two decades of strategy and business development experience at the intersection of academia and industry, I’ve facilitated planning sessions and created strategic plans that are concise, precise, and actionable.

I use industry-tested tools to uncover value propositions, solidify stakeholders and ensure unwavering alignment to your company’s goals and objectives.

Whether you need help with strategic planning, leadership development or facilitating your next workshop, I can help synthesize what matters most to you, your team and business.

Have you ever used a Canvas to help guide conversations, get to the route cause of a problem and help you better understand your target audience? Or how about Design Thinking to help you gain better insights for innovation, de-risk new ideas and co-design a solution that fits the needs of your end user?

Sometimes all you need is a little bit of insight to ensure what you’re offering and who you’re offering it to are aligned. Find out what tools you need to discover your consumer and business insights.

I speak widely to corporate, social sectors and conference audiences. Example topics include Embedding Entrepreneurial Mindsets in Your Company, Developing Daily Practices to Build Better Teams, and How Inclusivity Helps Build Innovative Teams. . Your guests will leave with new insights, and practical tips on how to embed their learnings into their day to day.
