Work Background
Paths 2 LeadCEO and Creator of Paths 2 Lead Programs
Mar. 2023Columbus, Ohio, United StatesWhile leading teams and people for over 30+ years, I have mastered how to:
– Address drama – Navigate Chaotic Change – Exercise Shared Accountability – Reduce Team Dysfunction If you lead a team and are finding yourself avoiding the hard accountability conversations, managing too much drama (individuals or on a team level) and reacting to the chaotic change versus responding as the strategic impactful Leader you want to be… there is help! With Paths 2 Lead, I help Leaders and Teams do better. I tap into the unique Leader and team’s talents to architect strategies and programs to move the team out of their dysfunction and drama towards exercised accountability, managed change and calibrated performance. Strategies and programs unique to that team’s needs. One of the most satisfying results is witnessing a Leader and Team - doing the good work together, holding each other accountable, nurturing their team dynamic and achieving higher performance every day. I thrive in helping today's courageous leaders with proven frameworks to navigate uncertainty. I guide leaders in discovering their unique leadership and establishing effective rituals to harness their team's potential. Learn to shift from struggle to fostering a thriving culture, where extraordinary results naturally unfold.
