Take the Lead
Today’s pace and pressure demand a new kind of leader.
CMO coach and keynote speaker rewriting The Modern Leadership Playbook. I help leaders navigate pressure, build stronger teams, and make better decisions in complex environments.
Clearer thinking. Better decisions. Stronger leadership.

Why I Do This Work
Leadership today is defined by speed, complexity, and constant pressure. Leaders are asked to make high-stakes decisions at a relentless pace, often with little space to think or support to navigate the reality they’re operating in. I know this because I lived it as a CMO.
For years, I led through nonstop demands, competing priorities, and decisions that carried real business impact. I watched capable leaders operate at full speed while carrying expectations that never seemed to let up. Not because they weren’t good leaders, but because today’s environment calls for a more modern, grounded approach than the one many of us were taught.
That realization reshaped my work.
I became a certified executive coach to give senior leaders—especially CMOs—the clarity, perspective, and practical support I wished I’d had. My coaching blends real-world CMO experience with formal training in behavior change and leadership development to help leaders think more clearly, make better decisions, and lead effectively in high-pressure environments.
Because when leaders get the support they’ve never truly had, everything improves — their decisions, their teams, and the moments that move their organizations forward.
Micromoment Reset
A clear, practical guide for taking back control in a world that never slows down.
Backed by research and shaped by real leadership experience, this book explores how today’s relentless pace, constant input, and nonstop decision pressure affect the way we think, feel, and lead—and what we can do about it.
Through personal stories, grounded insights, and the ABC 123 Method, readers learn how to recognize reactive patterns, reset in real time, and move through the day with more clarity, calm, and intention.
Whether you’re navigating high-pressure work, stuck in survival mode, or simply ready to lead yourself differently, this book gives you a reset you can use anytime. It’s a practical resource for leading your life—and your work—with more clarity and control.
