I know what it costs to be the person everyone else relies on, and to have no idea who you are when the room clears.
I've spent twenty years inside enterprise transformation, the kind where hundreds of millions of dollars move on whether people can actually change. What I learned is that the work is never the strategy. It's always the human. I bring that same precision to the individuals I work with: the pattern recognition, the honest read, and the commitment to stay through the hard part.
I've found calm in the storm of corporate transformation, guiding cross-functional teams through the messy middle of growth. I coach from lived experience, and I'll tell you the truth even when it's the harder thing to hear.
