You’re in a meeting.

You ask a straight question.

You get a… fuzzy answer.

It happens all the time, especially in leadership.

Here’s a lens I’ve found incredibly useful when coaching CEOs:

Are humans evolved for truth… or for survival?

As a CEO, you need truth.

You need to know what’s really going on so you can make the right call.

But most people? They’re wired for survival.

That means:

• Saying what they think you want to hear
• Avoiding conflict or responsibility
• Playing safe, not honest

Especially in tough environments or dysfunctional teams.

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it and you’ll lead very differently.

If you’ve ever walked out of a conversation thinking, “I’m not getting the full picture,” this is for you.

Is “work-life balance” setting you up to fail?

Here’s the thing: trying to “balance” work and life assumes something is always off.

It’s a constant juggle, and it rarely feels sustainable.

What if the goal isn’t balance… but blend?

So how did you do it? How did you get to be a coach to CEOs?

That's the question I get asked the most often.

How did I go from research and design to working with CEOs?

In this video, I share my journey from studying neuroscience to teaching young children, working in user experience, and eventually becoming a coach for CEOs.

I also dig into how my background in psychology, teaching, and strategic consulting shaped my approach to guiding leaders, uncovering challenges, and driving meaningful change.
