She now has more than ​25​ ​years​ ​of​ ​experience​ ​in​ ​executive​ ​leadership​ ​development and she ​shows​ ​US-based​ ​global​ ​corporations,​ ​government​ ​agencies,​ ​military​ ​services,​ ​and​ ​nonprofit​ ​organizations how to navigate through​ ​change,​ ​turbulence,​ ​and​ ​intense​ ​competition​ ​while​ attracting and ​retaining​ ​top​ ​talent.

As a leadership consultant, she helps her clients to develop team members for now and the future, to maintain resilience in the modern work world, to deal with fierce external competition, juggling competing demands and prioritizing limited resources, and helping to ensure a successful transition of executive leadership.
