From Coaching to Workshops

Leadership is at the heart of what I do, and I believe each of us has opportunities every day to be a leader, whenever we have the opportunity to influence others and effect positive change.

For over 20 years, I’ve been coaching and consulting with individual clients, teams, and organizations. My career has taken me to a diverse range of industries and organizations including the military (US Air Force), financial services, transportation, customer service, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and education. In addition to my coaching and consulting work through Bold Leader Development, I serve as an Affiliate Professor of Management and Director of the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program in the Satish & Yasmin Gupta College of Business at The University of Dallas.
