Summary
As an Executive Coach, I help executives re-examine their assumptions about power, politics, and authenticity to get promoted, become more effective at work, and break glass ceilings holding them back. Having served 20 years in senior roles with companies across the globe, and then 7 years as a professional coach, I have accelerated the careers of clients from diverse industries, backgrounds, and levels of seniority, helping them get ahead without having to sell their souls in the process. My coaching approach is based on my academic and practical expertise in leadership, communication, negotiation, innovation — and how we develop the critical new skills needed to ascend in our careers. I am the award-winning author of Get Promoted, and a frequent speaker and media contributor on career advancement, leadership and navigating power and politics. My work has been featured in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Stanford Business School Executive Education, IE Business School, where I collaborate with renowned professors, coaches and experts. I hold an MBA from Stanford and coaching certification from Columbia University.
