About me
Picture This You have 20 minutes in front of the people who control your budget, your promotion, or your program's future. The calendar invite is already on your screen. Maybe it's a board presentation. Maybe it's a keynote at your company's biggest conference. Maybe it's the meeting where you pitch a transformation initiative that could change the trajectory of your entire organization. We call these exponential value moments (EVMs) because of how much impact they can have on so many fronts! You know the content cold. You've lived it. You've built the roadmap, run the analysis, led the team. But knowing the material and commanding the room are two very different things. You've seen what happens when brilliant leaders walk in underprepared for the spotlight: the meandering opener that loses the room in 90 seconds, the slide deck that buries the strategic narrative under operational details, the Q&A that turns into an ambush because no one pre-gamed the objections. The difference between a presentation that gets a polite nod and one that gets a standing budget approval? It's not more data. It's not better slides. It's how you prepare, how you show up, and what you do after you leave that room. That's what I do. I work with senior leaders at companies like Cisco, Uber, and Google to transform high-stakes presentations from nerve-wracking performances into strategic conversations that move people to action—approve the budget, invest in the vision, champion the change. I've spent over 15 years at the intersection of strategy and stage. Before founding the Executive Greatness Institute, I worked at Deloitte, Oracle, and Cisco—where I spent years working on GSX alongside leaders like John Chambers and Chuck Robbins on executive messaging, stage presence, and audience engagement. That experience taught me something most communication coaches miss: the presentation is never just a presentation. It's a decision point. It's a relationship accelerator. It's a career-defining moment. And the leaders who win those moments aren't the ones with the most polished slides. They're the ones who prepared like a McKinsey partner, showed up with intentional presence, and followed up in a way that built lasting momentum. I created the Strategic Narrative Framework to give leaders a repeatable system for every high-stakes conversation, not just the keynote. My clients tell me the real transformation happens on the Tuesday morning conference call, not just the annual presentation.
