About Me
I have taught leadership to over 2,100 managers in executive classes at universities and in consulting, and I’ve worked directly with more than 200 C-suite leaders. I have heard their greatest challenges and finest practices.
And I am expert at bringing the best of science to advise and develop them. Google Scholar ranks me #1 at my university with over 15,000 citations of my published work.
I also designed and led a robust study on what predicts leadership advancement in organizations. This confirmed that different competencies are needed by men and women to attain senior leadership.
Three Ways I Can Help You
The Gist of It
Twice each month, I’ll send you one brief, actionable tip you can immediately put to use. Join the community of elite leaders who regularly get simple, clear advice for achieving exceptional results.
Advancing Women Leaders
Through a large, robust study we found that women need more - and different - competencies than men to succeed. Based on this research, I host the Women’s Leadership Advancement Forum and offer a range of core and premium services to help women achieve full potential.
As a core service, women get a quick and confidential assessment of advancement potential through the Women’s Leadership Advancement Predictor - a statistically valid assessment tool available to our members .
Speaking
Great speakers inspire listeners with story, images, and surprising data. I’ve delivered dynamic keynotes to wide-ranging leadership groups, such as CEO Global Network, American Assn of Colleges of Nursing, Mayor’s Leadership Team , etc.
