Founder of Upward Trajectory
After more than two decades leading global organizations, I observed a recurring challenge.
Organizations are increasingly effective at identifying high-potential leaders.
The harder challenge is helping those leaders consistently become the leaders the organization needs them to be.
That realization inspired me to create Upward Trajectory and develop Leadership Optimization™—a practical approach to helping organizations strengthen leadership capability by turning high potential into leadership readiness.
