Human-centered executive coaching & consulting for
leadership teams navigating complex futures.

Your Calm in the Chaos of Leadership

AI. Economic disruption.
The fatigue of continuous change.
Staying strategic, decisive, and grounded, while navigating layoffs and burn out.
Scaling the business without becoming the bottleneck.
Developing a leadership style that’s authentic and inspiring.
Empowering their leadership teams to take more ownership.

These are some of the many reasons clients come to work with me.
When you boil it down, it’s usually about:

Finding calm in the chaos.

I work with senior leaders and leadership teams who want more than formulaic playbooks and academic leadership exercises.

They want to build the kind of leadership skills and mindset that makes them confident, clear-eyed and ready for real world challenges.

Experience That Meets the Moment

Before founding Worthy to Lead, I spent 20+ years leading inside Fortune 500 organizations, including Amazon, Target, USAA, and C.H. Robinson, working at the intersection of UX design, technology, and operations.

I’ve led teams through large-scale digital and supply chain transformation, where decisions ripple across global systems and the cost of misalignment is real.

I’m also ICF-certified in executive coaching (PCC), grounding my work in evidence-based coaching practices, psychology, and neuroscience — not trends or motivational tactics.

That combination matters.
Because leadership at scale requires both real-world operating experience and coaching expertise to develop leaders in a way that’s scientifically sound and proven to be effective.

Coaching for the Horizon You're In

There’s no single “right” timeline for leadership growth. Different moments call for different depths of work. Coaching adapts to the horizon of change you’re ready to pursue.

HORIZON 1

Strategic Reset

When leaders are carrying too much or facing immediate pressure, coaching helps:

Create calm and perspective amid uncertainty
Clarify priorities and decision paths
Strengthen judgment in high-stakes moments
Regain momentum without burning out

This work delivers quick, practical wins in
3 months or less.

HORIZON 2

Accelerate & Integrate

For leaders ready to go deeper, coaching becomes a space to:

Examine ingrained patterns of negative / stuck thinking and unhelpful leadership behaviors
Strengthen executive presence and strategic influence
Shift from constant firefighting to intentional leadership
Develop leadership teams who think independently and take ownership

This is where leaders begin to see meaningful changes — not just in themselves, but across their teams — in a span of 6-9 months.

HORIZON 3

Unlocking Mastery

For leaders and organizations investing in long-term growth, extended coaching supports:

Building alignment, trust, and accountability across executive teams
Expanding leadership capacity as business & complexity scale
Establishing leadership practices that hold up through multiple horizons of change
Breaking through persistent patterns that limit effectiveness and achieving lasting transformation

This work is about building leaders and leadership systems that are sustainable at scale — across a year or more.

How We Decide What’s Right

There’s no preset package to fit yourself into. We define your engagement based on:

The challenges you’re facing now
The horizon of change you want to create
The level of support that will best serve you and your organization

That’s why everything starts with a conversation.
