Progressive Leaders C.A.R.E.™. Progressive leaders provide their teams clarity, autonomy, relationships and equity®.

I am on a mission to shape organizations worth working for by empowering teams, and managers of teams, from top to bottom to think and behave more inclusively and lead with empathy. Our proprietary C.A.R.E.™ model is the nucleus of our approach to inspiring progressive leadership.

We create novel and scalable virtual and in-person experiential leadership training programs for managers and their teams to help see biases that blind them, improving their self-awareness and emotional intelligence that accelerate positive behavior change.

We aspire to be the best in the world at:
