I help teams build the skills to surface issues early and fix them quickly, drawing on my experience as a former executive and from running over 1,500 workshops.
I know this works because I’ve lived it myself.
I’ve watched CEOs attack good ideas, and nobody pushed back.
I’ve seen high performers quit because they kept raising concerns, and nothing changed.
I’ve been in strategy sessions where going along was easier than speaking up.
I learned that silence doesn’t keep you safe. It makes problems worse.
Teams don’t need more collaboration. They need better conversations.
I use simple methods that make these conversations easier. And I model the courage required to have them. Naming the real issue. Challenging assumptions. Saying what everyone’s thinking.
I don’t do this because I enjoy conflict. I do because I’ve learned that honest disagreement leads to better ideas, smarter decisions, and stronger teams.
For over 25 years, I’ve been helping people break the silence before it breaks the team.
