This is How Leadership

Actually Works

Situational Intelligence for Real-World Careers

Corporate life looks orderly on the outside. Then a reorg drops. A boss shifts tone. A rumor spins out of nowhere. Suddenly, everyone pretends they know what’s happening, and you’re left trying to decode the real signals.

That’s where Situational Intelligence comes in.

This is the ability to read the room - not just the org chart - and act with clarity, context, and confidence.

After 20+ years sitting in the room where it happens, I’ve seen how C-suite leaders really think, talk, and make decisions, and more importantly, when they don’t.

What You’ll Learn Here

This isn’t “leadership training” you’ve seen a thousand times. This is executive reality translated for people who want to:

✔ Understand the unspoken drivers of power and influence

✔ Decode context before making moves

✔ Navigate ambiguity with clarity

✔ Lead - with or without authority

(No motivational platitudes. No corporate theater.)

Who This Is For

Whether you’re:

  • A leader who needs clarity before action

  • An early or mid-career professional ready to understand and navigate the unspoken rules of leadership

  • A Chief of Staff or Executive Assistant who sees more than most and wants to read the room clearly

  • Someone who is tired of theory and wants to know what actually works in real executive environments

You’re in the right place.

Why I’m Different

I’ve spent over two decades operating inside C-suite reality - not as a spectator, but as someone who read subtext, steered decisions, and coached leaders through ambiguity.

Now I bring that insider view to you. This isn’t just training. It’s a lens for seeing:

  • What’s happening beneath the surface

  • Why people really act the way they do

  • How to make decisions that land (not just look good)

  • What most leadership advice misses entirely

What You’ll Find

  • Situational Intelligence concepts

  • Sharp, eye-opening insights that land immediately

  • Tools you can use today (meeting frameworks, influence scripts, decision filters) to become more impactful

  • Commentary that breaks down real headlines through a C-suite lens

  • Speaking engagements, workshops, and coaching that go past surface level; and yes - short videos coming soon!

My Mission

To make leadership less mysterious, less exclusive, and a whole lot more human.

If we want better leaders, we must teach leadership the way it actually works, not the way a textbook describes it.

Whether you’re curious, stuck, or ready to level up - let’s bring clarity to your next move.
