Tending the inner life of leaders...

Leadership can be lonely and most leaders don't consider how important it is to have a trusted sounding board for reflecting on the issues you face every day. In the office, it's hard to let your guard down and show your vulnerability. Or sometimes you just need to process some ideas "off the record" before implementing them with your team. I specialize in holding these conversations with you.
