I work with leaders to build career resilience. Leaders have a hard time admitting it out loud: the pressure isn’t the only problem. It’s the politics, the personalities, and the way they’ve been holding everything together out of sheer habit. When they hit a stall, pushing harder only makes the cracks show. That’s where the inner work begins. I help them see what’s actually driving the friction so they stop reacting to the noise and start leading from their center. From there, they walk into the rooms they’ve earned without shrinking or performing. This is the work that changes every conversation, every decision, and every opportunity that comes next. It becomes the foundation you stand on for the rest of your career.
