Bio
As a pioneering graduate of the inaugural UPenn MAPP program, I bring decades of expertise as a coach, consultant, educator, and author. My practice delivers Strategic Solutions for High-Ability, Complex Learners and Business Intelligence for Complex Talent and Teams, serving high-potential individuals, multi-generational families, and leadership.
I challenge the myth that gritty effort is the most valuable solution to underachievement. My personalized approach equips clients to reimagine limiting beliefs and create sustainable action plans tailored to their natural tendencies and contexts. Refined over decades, my methodology integrates neuropsychology, executive function optimization, positive psychology, and evidence-based motivational strategies, including proprietary frameworks like POS-EDGE® and The Three Gifts of Motivation™. This enables clients to “Activate Their Competitive Advantage”.
For Parents & Students, I design evidence-based systems tailored to how learners uniquely think, learn, and build lasting motivation. As author of The Effort Myth, I specialize in supporting those with learning and attention differences, ensuring they become future-ready, confident leaders. I possess direct experience with complex family systems and intergenerational dynamics, delivering sustained results through decade-plus client relationships.
For Leaders & Professionals, I help drive sustainable performance by co-creating powerful systems and leadership practices that leverage cognitive strengths, natural motivation patterns, and team synergies. My international practice spans Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, with notable engagements including a five-year coaching initiative that brought award-winning positive education programs to 27 schools in Australia.
My approach links individual and team well-being to measurable performance outcomes, particularly effective during leadership transitions and succession planning.
