With a mix of perspiration and inspiration, I’ll partner with you and your team to thrive as leaders and drive
change in you, your team, your company.
Being a leader today is no easy feat. You're expected to spark innovation, build top-performing teams, and steer your organization through constant change - all while juggling competing priorities. Mastering the communication savvy, future-focused thinking, and emotional intelligence to inspire real transformation doesn't come naturally for everyone.
As your guide, I'll draw on my 20+ years of experience leading strategic change across industries to equip you with the mindsets and skills for impactful leadership.
Learn. Lead. Change.
I’ve been fortunate to partner with leaders across a broad range of companies and industries, including:
“Sandy's keen powers of perception enable her to dissect a business problem or challenge with objectivity, while assessing the strengths, weaknesses and motivations of those involved in a given project. Her deep understanding of various leadership styles, business cultures and the different ways people learn and process new information serve to inform the very grounded guidance she offers. Sandy is truly a breath of fresh air: a dynamic, inspiring force powered by an inner calm. She put my team on the right track, opened my eyes to new ways of approaching challenges and gave me tools I can use anywhere.” – VP, Marketing
“I have worked with Sandy for many years and strongly recommend her. She is particularly good at going into a situation that can be highly charged and sorting through the issues to get at the real concern. Her results are top notch. Her knowledge levels within financial services are deep and she appreciates the challenges of a global firm and how flexibility is key.” CFO Chief of Staff
“Sandy has the gift of being able to not only quickly identify critical pain-points associated with expected change but to develop creative and compelling messaging that inspires and provides real solutions to these changes. This is not only because she is brilliant but because she is sincerely empathetic to the needs and experiences of others. She clearly has passion for her vocation. Sandy is engaging, ever-cheerful, and has the ability to brighten up a room when she walks into it.” - Senior Strategic Communications Leader
"Sandy has an incredible ability to objectively dissect challenges and inspire practical solutions to move forward. She helped get my team firing on all cylinders."
“We came away with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment to not just making it work but making it better.” - Managing Partner
“I would highly recommend Sandy to any executive facing strategic issues. She grasped very quickly my real issue and helped me out of the "rabbit hole" that often challenges even the best business leader. “ - Co-founder and CEO
