My BackgroundWith over 30 years of experience working for world-class organizations, I have accelerated the development of high potential leaders at every level, in every region in the world.Prior to launching my consultancy, I served as Worldwide Learning and Development Leader at BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), creating their global learning strategy and leading BD University. Before joining BD, I was Corporate Vice President of Leadership Development at UBS Financial Services.My PhilosophyI believe that many leaders and teams play it safe, staying well within their comfort zone. As a result, they fall short of their potential and become what I would describe as ordinary. Your work doesn’t have to be ordinary. Through a collaborative and research-based process, I can help you and your team move beyond “business as usual” and become extraordinary.

When creating a custom team coaching design, I often leverage The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™, based on the work of Patrick Lencioni. The program consists of a robust team assessment, along with a series of team development sessions that are customized to your team's needs. Using this approach, I have helped teams:* Create a common vision and purpose* Establish performance goals that create interdependence among team members* Agree on behavioral norms that guide how the team works together* Develop trust and mutual accountability* Leverage style differences for more effective team dynamics, communication and decision-making* Increase the level of team engagement* Foster a culture of constructive debate to accelerate innovationTo learn more about my approach to team coaching, download a sample team coaching design below.
