Trusted Advisor | Self-Coaching Expert | Conscious Leadership Coach | Author | Motivational Speaker | Podcast Host

I help CEOs and Founders accelerate profit, purpose and performance—by transforming how they lead themselves and their teams.

For over 30 years, I’ve worked with ambitious leaders across the globe as they focused on building self-led, high-performing boards and leadership teams.

CEOs and Founders come to me when they:

Want to scale sustainably without burning out

Need their leadership team aligned and moving fast

Seek an experienced thought partner to help them think clearly


Our work together is practical and transformative. Whether through high-impact executive coaching, strategic workshops, team alignment programmes, or keynote speaking, I bring clarity, courage, and challenge to leaders who are serious about results—both personal and professional.

I'm also the author of Self-Coaching for Leaders and the creator of a growing AI-powered self-coaching movement. My approach blends insight with action, helping leaders get out of their own way so they can unlock performance in others.

If you're a CEO or Founder scaling a team, preparing for investment, or navigating complexity at the top—let’s talk.

Anne Marbury Hutchinson Foundation

The mission of the AMHF was to honor the vision and example of Founding Mother Anne Marbury Hutchinson (b.1591, d.1643) and celebrate her life — and the lives of our nation’s other courageous founding mothers — as a role model and mentor from our past™ for future generations of Americans.

INAUGURAL EVENT: In 2016, the Anne Marbury Hutchinson Foundation commemorated its namesake's 425th birthday with a 14-event, 5-day, 3-state celebration (July 20-24, 2016). The "FOUNDING MOTHERS CELEBRATION" event-series began in Boston, MA (July 20-21) and continued to Portsmouth, RI (July 22); Bronx-Eastchester, NY (July 23); and returned to Boston for closing events (July 24). The celebration's mission was to both raise awareness about Founding Mother Anne Hutchinson's" nation-shaping contributions and serve to springboard enthusiasm for celebrating the lives of other "founding mothers" — role models and mentors from our past.™

The 2016 Founding Mothers Celebration — a collaborative organized by a number of similarly-aligned, history-loving nonprofits — focused its inaugural year of programming on the life and example of Anne Marbury Hutchinson (b.1591, d.1643). In coming years the foundation will turn to honor the memory of other remarkable women in our nation's early history.

𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡-𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡?

I can help with that. I guide coaches, authors, and experts how to spread BIG ideas.

Look, I believe your insights can catalyze change for the better — the world should begin to LIVE your message.

But sorting and clarifying your ideas for a big stage isn’t easy. 

I'm here for you. 

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗗𝗢: I help folks (just like you) catalyze their ideas into singular, memorable, and spreadable messages.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜'𝗩𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗘: I’ve trained hundreds of speakers with many, many 100s of millions of views. 

For example, my training directly contributed to:

→ A 50M view TEDx by Harvard’s Dr. Robert Waldinger
(“What Makes a Good Life” is a TOP 10 TALK on TED.)

→ A breakaway TEDx by Food Revolution Network’s Ocean Robbins
(Garnered 1M views in under 6 months.)

→ A talk elevated to the TED website by 4x TEDxer Dorie Clark 
(Garnered 2M views after being featured.)

Those are just a few examples on the extremes of million-view talks. 

And on the *paying* keynote and storytelling fronts:

→ SWA Capt. Tammie Jo Shults prepped her 1st talk in 6 days.
(Her 2x-ovation message launched her 6-figure speaking career.)

→ A VC Series B funding raise for Hydrow CEO Bruce Smith.
(His storytelling was key to that $200M success.)

And the list continues... Former Director of the U.S. Mint, MacArthur “Genius Award” recipients, 100M+ CEOs, leadership coaches, bestselling authors, inventors — and yes, small business owners — have all benefited.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗗𝗢 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨: Want that catalytic reach on a live conference stage or virtual screen and know it is more than an online speaker application and a countdown clock?

I am at your disposal. (Drop me a DM.)
