About

I founded Yield to Lead after years of watching something specific happen at the executive level: capable, accomplished leaders losing their clearest thinking exactly when they needed it most. They had the experience and the credentials. What they didn't have was a framework for leading themselves through it.

That's the work I do now and I build it around the leader.

My background is a deliberate combination. An MBA gave me the language of business and the patience for complexity. Training in  neuroscience and specifically neuroleadership gave me a framework for what's actually happening when leaders make hard decisions under pressure.​ And years of working across industries with executives, founders, and neurodivergent thinkers taught me that leadership isn't a style. It's a practice that lives in the brain.

Outside of Yield to Lead, I founded Kind Theory, a nonprofit supporting the neurodivergent community and their families, and I serve on the McKinney Inclusion Council.

 

The work is connected. Both ask the same question: what does it take for a person to lead well, in a world that wasn't designed around how their mind actually works?

If this sounds like the kind of partnership you're looking for, the next step is a conversation.
