What if leadership development felt less like a lecture, and more like a lab?

The Leadership Coaching Lab offers executive coaching, team workshops and facilitation, Coaching Labs and cohorts, and self-paced leadership courses. I also integrate tools such as CliftonStrengths®, Myers-Briggs®, Working Genius, and LEGO® Serious Play® when they fit the goals of the work. Some experiences are one-on-one, some happen with intact teams, and others bring leaders together to learn alongside peers.

All three. I coach individual leaders, design and facilitate experiences for teams, and partner with organizations on leadership and team development. I also offer cohorts, Coaching Labs, and courses for leaders who want to learn alongside peers or on their own.

The “Lab” is more than the name—it reflects how I believe leadership develops. We work with real challenges, draw from research and practical frameworks, experiment with new approaches, and reflect on what happens. The goal is to give leaders space to think, try, learn, and adjust so development becomes something they practice in the context of their actual work.

I start with the people and the challenge rather than a fixed curriculum. From there, I design the experience around what participants need to understand, explore, or do differently. That might include research-based frameworks, assessments, facilitated conversation, reflection, hands-on methods such as LEGO® Serious Play®, or opportunities to practice and experiment with a new approach.

Learning design is the intentional design of how people encounter, explore, and apply new ideas. My first career was in education, and that background still shapes how I approach executive coaching, team development, and leadership programs today. I think carefully about the questions we ask, the frameworks we use, how people participate, and what will help them carry the learning back into their actual work.

I work with a range of research-based frameworks and assessment tools, including CliftonStrengths®, Myers-Briggs®, Working Genius, EQ-i 2.0®, and the Intercultural Development Inventory®. I’m also a trained LEGO® Serious Play® facilitator. The tool is never the starting point; I choose methods based on the question we’re exploring and what will be most useful for the leader or team.
