Research and writing
I was part of the team that helped Amy Edmondson, named the top management thinker in the world by Thinkers50, research and write her book.
Career coaching
An operations professional explored what he really wanted from his work and made the move into teaching, where his strengths truly lay.
I start by understanding your situation, goals, and constraints. Learning science, psychology, and education inform the work; your experience and feedback shape how we apply them.
We practice with real situations, learn with others where useful, and check what changes. The work continues between sessions and on the job.
I bring encouragement, humor, and honest feedback. I build on your strengths, support you through difficult steps, and challenge you to try more than you thought possible. I keep learning too.
Learning and performance challenges
We understand the need before choosing a solution.

We clarify your goals, the obstacles, and the strengths and support already in place.
We agree on a plan, then use practice, reflection, and feedback to check progress.
