Develop your inner edge.
I help leaders and teams build self-awareness, trust and resilience, empowering them to take action with confidence and speed to create lasting impact.
With over 20 years of leadership experience in IT, project management, and HR, I bring a blend of real-world insight and deep empathy to my work. I hold an MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and am a certified executive coach.
Leadership growth doesn’t start with a playbook - it starts with you.
At Inner Edge Leadership, I help leaders grow from the inside out. Whether you're navigating change, deepening self-awareness, or aligning your team, my work supports the whole leader - grounded in real-world leadership experience and proven frameworks.

Executive & Leadership Coaching
Lead with confidence, clarity, and alignment.
Executive coaching creates space to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention. Together, we’ll uncover what’s getting in the way - whether it’s internal doubts, external pressure, or a transition - and build the mindset and practices to lead from your inner edge.

Leadership Team Development
Create alignment, build trust, and lead as one.
High-performing teams don’t just happen - they’re built through shared purpose, honest dialogue, and strong collaboration. I work with leadership teams to surface what’s working, name what’s not, and create new ways of operating together.

Group Experiences
Step back. Connect. Grow - individually and together.
Some of the most powerful leadership insights emerge when people learn together. These experiences are designed to spark reflection, create connection, and inspire action - whether you're bringing a group together for a hands-on workshop, a team offsite, or a keynote that sets the tone for your event.
The Inner Edge Leadership Model
Self-Trust = Confidence, inner knowing, alignment with values.
Inspired Action = Courageous steps, aligned goals, intentional behavior.
The Inner Edge = Strengths, self-awareness, reflection, resilience.
As self-trust deepens and leaders and teams take inspired action from their inner edge, impact grows - on themselves, their teams, and their organizations.
