Develop your inner edge.
I help leaders strengthen the relationships that matter so they can lead themselves, others, and the future they are creating with greater awareness, self-trust, and intention.
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
Create meaningful and sustainable results for yourself, your team and your organization.
As your role expands, so does complexity. The decisions get bigger. The stakes increase. And success depends less on having the “right answer” and more on navigating ambiguity, relationships, and competing priorities with confidence.
-
Team Coaching + Development
Create stronger relationships, greater alignment, and sustainable results.
Strong teams don’t happen by accident. They are built through the awareness, skills, and intentional practices that help people understand themselves, leverage their differences, navigate challenges, and choose how they want to show up 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.
