I help growth-oriented leaders create high performing teams by coaching and training their managers in emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the number one predictor of high performance and accounts for up to 90% of leadership effectiveness.
I know how powerful emotional intelligence can be. I was a high school English teacher when I started my first company. Nine out of ten startups fail, but I beat the odds because I had emotional intelligence, and you can too.
In 2005, I disrupted the plastic bag industry when I started up a company to promote and sell reusable grocery bags. I sold a quarter-million bags my first year, 2 million my second year, and 8 million my third year in business.
For 12 years, I became a top US supplier. I managed a team of 200+, leading hundreds of one-on-ones to build a great company with high performance at all levels. Then I sold the company, published a book about my experience and gave a TEDx Talk. Now I help other growth-oriented leaders find the same success I did by developing emotional intelligence skills.

Here’s what I learned as an entrepreneur: leaders with emotional intelligence initiate a cycle of trust, leading to high performance. Leaders without it initiate a cycle of mistrust, leading to stagnation and low morale.

I put my leadership and emotional intelligence experience to work in service of my clients, helping them become high impact, high performing leaders.
