eBook: How Great Leaders Coach

I wrote this eBook after working with hundreds of leaders to turn difficult conversations into an opportunity to deepen trust and increase ownership with people on their team.

This isn’t so much a framework about what to say, but how to show up relationally with both yourself and the people around you. It's about being present, believing in the capacity of others, and letting go of having all the answers.

Leadership Fluency Webinar & Workbook

This 60-minute webinar introduces the Leadership Fluency framework and gives you a sense of what the work entails.

Covering the distinctions between four fundamental leadership roles (leading, directing, managing, and coaching) and walking you through a diagnostic process for reading what situations actually need, you’ll learn how to move from “this feels kind of unclear” to identifying specific intervention points and choosing your response consciously rather than defaulting to habit.

The webinar includes a downloadable workbook with the diagnostic template, framework reference materials, and practical next steps for building your leadership fluency.

When both are skillfully deployed, teams generate trust, unlock creativity, and drive outcomes.
