VERTICAL + SACRED  LEADERSHIP

Quantum-strength strategist. Sacred conductor of leaders - where pressure becomes power, and leaders emerge transformed. The partner executives call when the next move must change the next decade.​​​

Leadership today is lived in tension.
Markets shift overnight.
Work and life bleed together.
Noise, distraction, and pressure infiltrate every decision.

The demands on leaders are unprecedented.
Clarity, energy, and influence are harder than ever to sustain.
The strategies that carried you here cannot take you further.

The leaders I work with are not simply surviving the moment.
They are transforming through it.

They reset through The First 180™ — immersive, multi-dimensional intensives for personal pivots.
They grow through Accelerate Your Leadership Impact™ — structured coaching grounded in proven frameworks.
They achieve clarity and alignment through Axis of Mastery™ — orchestrating culture, systems, and strategy for enduring excellence.​

A STORY YOU MUST READ

Forged in Real Fires

Proven where pressure was highest, leading when failure was not an option.


Inside three Fortune 50 global companies, I led strategy, organizational transformation, and leadership mastery in rooms where trust, capability, and consequence determined everything.

I navigated acquisitions where futures were on the line.
I steadied cultures in hostile corporate battles.
I guided leaders through pressure that could fracture teams overnight. And I investigated executives - sometimes even my own boss - because integrity demanded it.

 

Every crucible forged the same unshakable truth:
leadership is not a title. Leadership is capacity.

​​

WHAT MATTERS MORE TODAY THAN YESTERDAY

I was the one called into the room when failure was not an option. I remain the one called when the stakes demand clarity, presence, and transformation.

Capacity is not static. It must expand — faster, deeper, and broader — to meet the complexity of today​.

My story, like yours, is built on the past. The story we create begins today.

MOMENTS THAT MADE THE WORK

  • When others said “it can’t be done,” I said “let me try” — and did, to the awe of the room.

  • Transformed a modest $75K operational effort into $30M in enterprise value within 12 months while lifting union-floor morale.

  • Resolved a senior-team rift live, resetting the culture from guarded to galvanized.

  • Coached talent so precisely that LinkedIn ranked me a top career coach when I was actively career coaching.

 

I bring the depth of decades spent leading through high-stakes complexity - organizations under immense pressure, mission nonprofits impacting sacred lives, growth targets that tested every limit - and I elevate that depth with contemporary methodologies built for today’s leaders:

Neuro-Linguistic Programming rewires thought patterns, unlocking new capacity.
Time Line Therapy® clears the weight of the past to accelerate the future.
Hypnotherapy integrates transformation at the deepest level.
Assessments reveal what you cannot see - and illuminate the path forward.
Executive Coaching elevates clarity, presence, and results.
Axis of Mastery™ orchestrates culture, systems, and strategy - bringing harmony where there was fracture.
Proprietary Models & Frameworks accelerate transformation beyond convention.

MAPS OF TRANSFORMATION

The First 180™ 

The First 180™ is a radical reset — a multi-dimensional, immersive intensive designed for leaders navigating relentless noise, blurred boundaries, and unprecedented demands. It doesn’t just prepare you for disruption - rewires leaders to not just survive disruption, but command clarity and presence within it.

 

This is not theory.
It is contemporary methodology for contemporary challenges —
integrating NLP, Time Line Therapy®, and Hypnotherapy to rewire how leaders think, decide, and lead in complex environments.

The experience works across every dimension —
cognitive, emotional, energetic, and behavioral —
so leaders don’t just adapt to disruption,
they accelerate through it.

 

The First 180™ is not about doing more.
It is about becoming more.
The radical pivot where old patterns collapse,
and new capacity, clarity, and presence are born.

 

It is leadership redefined for the world we live in now -
and the future you are meant to command.

Strategy + Efficiency + Effectiveness

In the world’s most complex operations, strategy cannot live on paper — it must breathe. It must align vision with culture, and culture with execution, until an organization moves as one.

I have led enterprise-wide transformations where futures were on the line, weaving strategy into living systems that carried leaders, teams, and enterprises forward. In one case, what began as a $75,000 efficiency effort cascaded into $30 million in new shipping gains within a single year — not only driving value but lifting morale across every level of the company. In another, fractured leadership rhythms became clean, fast, and scalable, reshaping decision-making from a drag on progress into an accelerant for growth.

The same principles hold true in mission-driven nonprofits, where the stakes are no less urgent. I have partnered with leaders advancing sacred causes, helping them elevate vision into impact, sharpen alignment across teams, and sustain growth without losing the integrity of their mission.

Again and again, I’ve seen the same truth: when strategy fuses seamlessly with operations, it stops being a plan and becomes a pulse — one leaders can trust, replicate, and sustain.

 

This is my throughline: vision without drag. Strategy that breathes. Efficiency that compounds into excellence.

MASTER THE MOMENT - THOUGHT BECOMES POWER

The Genius of Wisdom® is more than a think tank - it is a living field of exploration where timeless intelligence meets modern leadership. Within this space, something powerful begins to happen: ideas breathe, awareness expands, and meaning unfolds in ways both subtle and profound. Drawing upon the principles of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), we explore how language, emotion, and intention quietly shape what leaders see, decide, and create. 

 

Through immersive learning experiences we help participants enhance their skills, refine performance, and turn awareness into action, supported by lasting course materials and tools.

 

Here, we study the deeper patterns that govern human experience, organizational behavior, and strategic evolution. Through research, reflection, and bold dialogue, The Genius of Wisdom® transforms insight into applied frameworks and education that help leaders navigate complexity with clarity, depth, and purpose.

 

As you engage with our work, you may notice new connections forming - between logic and intuition, strategy and spirit, science and self. This is where insight becomes embodiment, and wisdom becomes the way forward. Because in The Genius of Wisdom®, ideas are not just discussed - they are experienced, tested, and brought to life in the real world.
