You’re a confident and action-oriented leader
hired to bring your skills to bear in a new way.

But you’ve noticed that the abilities you worked so hard to develop are not bringing the results they once did.

You want to build relationships, lead collaboratively and bring real value – quickly.

It’s time to take up the work of the unfinished leader, find a methodology to learn new skills and broaden your perspective to become more effective.

That’s where I come in.

After 22 years of naval service, I’m ready to help you shape your leadership style, increase your influence and create lasting impact.

I founded Military LeaderShift to help experienced leaders find success outside the military. Building on your decades of deep knowledge and practice, you will be better able to develop others, effect change and add value.

Here’s how we’ll do it:

Shift From Directive to
Collaborative Leadership Style

  • We’ll assess your unique leadership style for its positive impact on individuals and groups.
  • You’ll learn to encourage alternative perspectives and ask powerful questions to raise curiosity.
  • You’ll gain buy in, inspire engagement and build effective teams that produce more.

Integrate Into a
New Professional Culture

  • We’ll explore the structure, dynamics and unique language of your organization’s culture.
  • You’ll understand how to embrace informal relationships and the unwritten norms of the private sector.
  • You’ll connect more quickly, map networks and find the critical paths that lead to success.

Build Relationship Capital

  • We’ll hone your people skills, which are vital to developing rapport with supervisors, peers and staff.
  • You’ll learn to perceive, then honor, cultural and generational differences in a diversifying workforce.
  • You’ll open minds, engender trust and garner respect for your initiatives.

Advance as an Influential Leader

  • I’ll help you adopt a growth mindset and leverage the high-level discipline of self-reflection.
  • You’ll develop a CEO perspective to handle unforeseen challenges with adaptability and resilience.
  • You’ll be perceived as a highly impactful mentor with senior executive potential.

I want to hear about your leadership goals and challenges. Let’s talk soon.
