Advising & Aligning

Getting leadership teams from strategic conversation to real decisions.

I work with executives and senior leadership teams to achieve genuine alignment on where they're going, what it will take, and how to lead together to get there.

The Work

Leadership teams struggling with direction tend to fall into one of two patterns: the right conversations aren't happening at all, or they're happening repeatedly — without producing the decisions and commitment that drive execution.

Either way, the cost is the same. Misaligned priorities. Initiatives that stall. A leadership team that looks unified in the room but pulls in different directions outside of it.

I design and lead the process that changes that. Not by telling your team what to decide — you know your business better than I do — but by architecting the conversations that get you to real alignment, rigorous choices, and genuine commitment.

This is for you if:

  • Your leadership team keeps revisiting the same strategic questions without resolution

  • You're at an inflection point — new ownership, new competition, new market conditions — and need to recalibrate together

  • Your priorities are diffuse and there's no shared sense of what matters most right now

  • You've set a direction, but the culture and team aren't fully behind it

  • You need to evaluate strategic options rigorously before committing

  • Your leadership team needs to find a better way to lead together — building the trust, clarity of roles, and shared model that lets them rely on each other and move as one

What We Work On Together

Vision and strategic direction

1

Clarifying your North Star — your identity, long-term ambition, and the principles that guide decisions. The foundation everything else builds from.

Strategic priorities and roadmap

2

Identifying the choices that matter most, evaluating options with rigor, and translating direction into an execution plan with ownership and accountability.

Growth and new business opportunities

3

Assessing strategic options through structured frameworks — mapping enablers and blockers, evaluating fit against your vision, making decisions with confidence.

Culture engagement and activation

4

Identifying the shifts your ambition requires. Strategy and culture have to move together — or neither moves at all.

Leadership team effectiveness

5

How your team leads together — building the trust, shared commitments, and operating model that lets leaders rely on each other and sustain strategic focus over time.

Outcomes You Walk Away With

  • A leadership team that is genuinely aligned — not just in agreement, but committed.

  • A clear strategic direction.

  • A prioritized roadmap with ownership.

  • An engaged culture ready to execute.

  • Confidence to lead what comes next.
