The Empathetic Leader

Executive Coach.Keynote Speaker.Narrative Strategist.

Three ways to work together. One through line: helping leaders communicate with clarity, connect with conviction, and move people to action.

Purpose Coaching

Clarity. Confidence. Congruence.

For leaders who look successful on paper but feel disconnected from who they actually are. I've navigated this myself — as a founder, as a queer leader in rooms that weren't built for me, as someone who had to figure out what 'leading like yourself' actually means when the stakes are real. I'll help you get clear, lead with conviction, and stop maintaining the version of you that's exhausting.

What's Included

  • One-on-one executive coaching sessions
  • Leadership voice and presence development
  • Decision-making clarity and self-leadership
  • Communication strategy and authentic storytelling
  • Values alignment and executive presence

Ideal For

C-suite executives
Emerging leaders
Leaders in transition
Professionals rethinking their next move

Narrative Strategy

Where story meets strategy.

I built a marketing agency and generated 3B+ organic impressions. I know what story architecture that actually moves people looks like — and I know the mistakes because I've made them. For founders, executives, and brands that need sharper messaging, stronger positioning, and communication people can actually follow — this is where we start.

What's Included

  • Messaging frameworks and brand positioning
  • Leadership narrative development
  • Organizational storytelling for alignment
  • External communication and thought leadership
  • Story-driven content and communication strategy

Ideal For

Founders and entrepreneurs
Executives building external presence
Organizations in transition
Teams seeking stronger alignment

Speaking + Workshops

Real stories. Real rooms. Real results.

I've keynoted the New York Stock Exchange and facilitated rooms at Out in Tech and Lesbians Who Tech. That range — from Wall Street to queer tech spaces — is part of what I bring. I don't talk about inclusion from the outside. I live it. And I don't do generic. Every room gets something real.

What's Included

  • Keynote speeches for conferences and leadership events
  • Panel discussions and moderated conversations
  • Interactive workshops for teams and organizations
  • Custom sessions on leadership communication
  • Virtual and in-person formats

Ideal For

Leadership summits and conferences
Corporate events and offsites
LGBTQ+ and diversity-focused gatherings

Custom Engagements

Need a combination of all three?

Many clients start with one service and expand. Some need coaching and narrative strategy in parallel. Some want a keynote that kicks off a longer engagement. I'm flexible. Let's talk about what you actually need.

READY? LET'S GO.

Tell me what you're working on. I'll tell you if I'm the right fit. No pitch, no package — just a real conversation about what you actually need.
