Become the leader you want to be

Do you want to have greater impact? I can help you transform so that you can make a bigger difference and lead your team to achieve greater results.

We will take a step back to reflect on the big picture for you and your team. We all have moments where we can’t see the forest for the trees, and “Too Many Trees” represents the blind spots and mindsets that are holding you back from greater possibilities. We can work together to identify those blind spots so you can find a path forward towards the leader you want to be.

Beyond that, I can help you identify the values that will keep you and your organization aligned and moving forward towards a common vision. Our work can include addressing areas of development that you have already identified, doing a 360 assessment to discover where you can improve, as well as uncovering new possibilities for yourself that you have not yet imagined. I will also advise you on challenging situations, drawing on my two decades of technical and operational experience before transitioning to coaching. Here is what my clients say about working with me.

What makes me able to help you become a better leader? I combine an unshakable belief in your ability to tackle the issues that come up, with the curiosity and courage to ask you the tough questions to shake you out of the thinking patterns keeping you stuck. I also draw upon a twenty year career in tech to provide perspective and help guide you through difficult situations:

• I led business strategy and operations for a $100B business in my role as Chief of Staff for Search Ads at Google, but only got that role after burning out so badly that I considered quitting.

• I was a key engineer at a startup spiraling and eventually going bankrupt.

• I was fired after a personality conflict with the founder of the startup where I worked.

• I spent years developing a technology before eventually turning it into an award-winning product.

My combination of top-notch business and product experience, the work I’ve done with leaders and organizations of all types, and deep listening, empathy and compassion enable me to meet you where you are, and then show you perspectives that you never imagined. We will create new possibilities together, and you will become more effective and productive so that you can make a bigger dent in the world.

When you are ready to commit to taking the next step in your growth as a leader, whether via powerful 1:1 coaching or a facilitated discussion with your team, let’s talk!

n.b. I recognize the privilege that has benefited me throughout my career, and would like to pay that privilege forward, so I offer a few pro bono and pay-what-you-can coaching slots for people from historically excluded or underestimated backgrounds.
