From the Trenches to Transformative Coaching:

My Journey

For over 15 years, I've operated at the intersection of risk, project, and change management within complex, often bureaucratic, and life-sustaining organizations. I've been in the shoes of the leaders I now coach – navigating overwhelming stakeholder demands, securing elusive executive buy-in, and striving to ensure that strategic initiatives truly translate into tangible, lasting impact.

This firsthand experience taught me that while brilliant strategies are essential, true success hinges on the leader’s ability to cut through the 'noise,' manage human dynamics, and adapt when the plan deviates. I founded Mastery Professionals LLC to be the guide I wished I had – to empower you, the leader, not just with what to do, but how to decisively implement, master complexity, and drive change that genuinely sticks.

My Mission: To transform organizational 'noise' into impact, one leader at a time. Empowering you to build a legacy of resilience, adaptability, and success.

The Power of Fusion: Risk, Project, Change & Leadership

Unique strengths

The seamless integration of three critical disciplines: Enterprise Risk Management, Strategic Project and Program Delivery, and Organizational Change Management. This fusion provides a holistic lens through which we address your challenges, anticipating deviations, ensuring cohesive implementation, and driving transformation. We go beyond frameworks, my approach is deeply human-centric. I focus on developing your 'power skills' – active listening, delegation, influence, and the capacity to manage the human element of change – recognizing that your personal growth is the ultimate driver of organizational success. Our coaching engagements often utilize proven frameworks like the GROW model, tailored to your specific context and leadership goals, ensuring actionable steps and measurable progress
