Leadership Development for People at a Turning Point

I work with high achievers and the organizations that support them, helping people grow with clarity, confidence, and courage during moments of change.

My approach is thoughtful, grounded, and relational. The result is clients have the confidence, skills, and tools to perform at a high level with more consistency and have built stronger relationships with their senior leaders, peers, and direct reports.

How I work

I use an experiential learning approach to help clients embody who they truly are through learning from their everyday life experiences. I developed this approach from my own leadership development experiences, from years of experience as a leadership development coach, and from in-depth training as a coach, facilitator, and teacher.

I have a natural ability to read people well, ask questions that matter, and bring warmth and humor into conversations that might otherwise feel heavy or intimidating. I build trusting relationships with my clients and that trusting foundation helps them open up to envision new possibilities and break through previous limits.

My coaching conversations lead to fruitful next steps. My programs are thoughtfully designed with adult learners in mind. I aim to prioritize what my clients tell me they want: balance, inner peace, and living in integrity.

I offer three services to support high achievers’ leadership development:

Experiential Leadership Coaching:

Through expert coaching, learners gain confidence, clarity, and connection through simple practices during their daily life. The coaching process will incorporate my signature approach to the ancient art of self-observation and self discovery through a food-based practice that builds presence by engaging the senses.

Experiential Leadership Retreats:

Teams and cohorts come together to reconnect, learn together, and practice new ways of working and leading. My retreats include beautiful meeting spaces, a connection to the natural world, and activities that strengthen social bonds and engage all the senses.

Experiential Leadership Programs:

My flagship program takes leadership cohorts on an experiential learning journey full of variety and a full sensory immersion in nature and food. Leaders gain deep connection to self and others and embody holistic behaviors that enable true transformation.

Leadership development looks different depending on where you sit.

You might be here because:

✓you’re a high-achiever navigating what’s next

✓ you’re stepping into greater leadership responsibility

✓ you lead, manage, or develop talent in an organization

✓ you support leadership development in corporate or higher education settings

Wherever you’re starting from, there’s room to explore a next step.

What my clients say

  • “I’ve loved every session. I’ve been able to pair this with starting work and that’s been a gift. I wish I had had coaching through my entire business school career. I think so many people would benefit from this. I am so grateful for this experience. I feel like I won the lottery.”

  • “I had a wonderful experience being coached by Lindsay. As a young adult, I came to Lindsay with concerns about confidence, friendships, family relationships, time management, bad habits, you name it! Lindsay deeply listened with intuition and asked insightful and profound questions to help me see what was right in front of me the whole time. After working with Lindsay I’ve allowed myself to move past my fears and go after what I really want in life. My confidence is high, my relationships are strong, and my dreams are manifesting right before my eyes! If I can do it, anyone can do it. Thank you, Lindsay!”

  • “Just wanted to share with you that I have been promoted recently…and wanted to thank you for mentoring me on advocating for myself! This promotion is critical for the role I have been interviewing for.”

    Madhavi M.

  • “Lindsay is a wonderful coach to work with. I came to Lindsay when I wanted to make a career switch. This switch was happening as I became a new mom, and Lindsay not only helped me find confidence in applying to different roles, but she also gave me great advice on being a working mom. Thank you Lindsay for always bringing a positive outlook and for being a great coach.”
