Where Strategy Meets Courage
I speak, teach and write about the courage I needed earlier in my career.
I founded Unfollow University, to help leaders and teams transform trust into results and coworkers into community. Since 2022, I’ve worked with companies like Amazon, Michelin Tires, Palo Alto Networks and Uncle Nearest to equip fear-proof leaders.
For more than two decades I’ve led brand launches and product pivots for icons like Patrón tequila, Grey Goose vodka, Nike footwear and Apple iPhones — earning induction into the American Advertising Hall of Achievement along the way.
My boldest work lies ahead with you.

Advising & Consulting
STRONG LEADERS DON’T NEED MOTIVATION TO START.
Healthy teams don’t need more advice about work. They need evidence of what actually works.
In times of change, an organization’s greatest need is for leaders who are humans, not heroes.
They need courage to not quit.
It takes courage to convert your natural fears into healthy actions that sustain a successful vision and team.
