Practical guidance for careers

People expertise on demand
The Standing Invitation is just that—a go-to, trusted partner to call when something messy lands on your desk. If it's a human problem at work bring it to me to talk through. Think hiring, feedback, managers, promotions, workplace dilemmas, conflict, and the ilk.

my pitch
Confession time, my goal is to make myself unnecessary.
I don't want to be the person that your company needs forever. I'd rather build a foundation for HR, people, & culture that lasts.
I've spent 20+ years in tech & startups, including a decade as a Chief People Officer. I've built the systems, processes, & teams.
I've also seen how easily People becomes the place to outsource leadership & hard conversations. My work is different.
I help founders, leaders, and managers build the judgment, habits, & structures for greater ownership of the soft. The organization builds good instincts & the need for intervention gets smaller.
The collective judgment of your team decides success.
It's who you hire, promote, terminate. It's how you communicate, celebrate, coach. It's what's rewarded, valued, punished.
Those everyday moments become your culture. If it's a bad one that not only grows the need for employee relations but it also impacts turnover and your ability to attract candidates.
Let's not get to that point & set you up now to be the kind of company that needs less HR.

Try Standing Invitation or Leader Atelier to get a feel for what's it like to have access to my brain & support.

I'm picky about who I work with as this role takes soul. I only take a handful of clients a year for $12,500 a month.

A NOTE ON PRICING
I believe in pay transparency, so you’ll always find my current rates right here.
My coaching is often covered by a company’s learning or professional development budget. If you’d like to explore that route, I’m happy to provide whatever your company needs for approval.
If that's not an option and paying personally would make my support inaccessible, please reach out. I keep a small number of sliding-scale spots available for those circumstances.
