[ WHAT IS IT ]

I run an aligned leadership advisory for founder-led companies navigating scale and succession. I align the founder, develop the leadership tier, and architect the continuity that carries the business through transition. For over a decade I have worked with a select group of founders in the seasons when alignment needs an upgrade and the stakes reach past the business and the boardroom.

[ WHO I WORK WITH ]

The aim of this practice is clearer decisions, steadier leadership, and forward motion that doesn’t require self-override.

My clients tend to begin their engagement when:

The leadership identity that once served them no longer feels aligned
Complexity has outpaced their personal development
Success is present, but not fully integrated
There is a sense that something essential is shifting, even if it is difficult to define

This work is not designed for those seeking “paint-by-numbers” prescription, quick fixes, or outsourcing ownership. It is best suited to leaders willing to question assumptions and take responsibility for their “next easiest step”.

[ HOW IT WORKS ]

Long-form, private coaching engagements shaped around each client’s context using my proprietary A.U.R.A. Method.

A.U.R.A. has been shaped over years of guiding founders and leadership teams through business growth, transition, succession, and recalibration.

Engagements are typically 12 months in length and formed collaboratively, based on timing, scope, and readiness.The aim is coherence, internally and externally, over time.

01 ANCHOR

Create stillness long enough to downregulate the sympathetic nervous system and identify what actually matters. Establish the internal stability required for clear thinking and honest self-assessment.

02 UNDERSTAND

Update and upgrade agreements with self and circles of influence with clarity that supports the way you show up fully expressed at the next level

03 RELEASE

Let go of outdated and obsolete identities, beliefs, habits, roles and patterns that no longer serve that vision and/or your fullest expression

04 ALIGN

With grounded leadership, take decisive action in the identity that aligns with your highest and best self towards your goals

GET STARTED

Since I started coaching, I’ve grown my company from $2–4M to over $10–15M annually and redefined success beyond numbers. Next Level didn’t just hold me accountable, it challenged me to scale with integrity. This work reshaped how I lead, live, and love. Our team now thrives on the very principles I had to embody first: ownership, alignment, and discipline. If you’re ready to stop coasting and start becoming — this is your path.

Through this process, I’ve learned to share my thoughts confidently. The hot seat sessions offered great opportunities for self-reflection, while the Birkman Assessment helped me understand my strengths and areas for improvement in communication. I also realized that some of us are in survival mode, while others thrive—understanding where we are on that spectrum is key to personal growth. This coaching has empowered me to step into my potential.
