Sometimes the most powerful leadership tool is also the most elusive one.
I'll be honest with you - I spent years thinking trust was something that just "happened" in great teams. You know, that magical ingredient that some leaders seemed to have naturally while others (like me, early in my career) struggled to cultivate. It wasn't until I discovered the Trust Equation that everything clicked into place. Now, I'm excited to share this game-changing framework with leaders who are ready to transform their influence and impact.
Interactive, hands-on workshop combining deep-dive learning with practical application. This isn't about sitting through another presentation - we're rolling up our sleeves and building real skills together.
Led by me, personally. Having implemented this framework across multiple organizations and seen its profound impact firsthand, I'm passionate about helping other leaders experience the same breakthrough moments I've had.
The foundational Trust Equation framework developed by Charles H. Green and the Trusted Advisor methodology, adapted through years of real-world application in today's complex leadership environments.
Senior leaders who want to amplify their influence without relying solely on positional authority
Team managers struggling with engagement, communication, or performance issues
Emerging leaders ready to build trust-based leadership skills from the ground up
Anyone who's ever wondered why some leaders inspire unwavering loyalty while others struggle to gain buy-in

This isn't theory - it's practical application of proven principles. I've seen leaders transform their effectiveness by understanding that trust isn't about being liked; it's about being trusted. The framework gives you concrete actions to take, specific behaviors to modify, and measurable outcomes to track.
What makes this workshop different is the combination of rigorous methodology with genuine vulnerability. We create a safe space where leaders can acknowledge their trust challenges without judgment and practice new approaches with support.

Once you're ready to commit, you'll receive your pre-work materials within 24 hours and begin your trust-building journey immediately.
Workshop day arrives, and you dive deep into transforming how you build and maintain trust as a leader. You'll leave with clarity, confidence, and concrete tools to implement immediately.
Trust is the currency of leadership. When you master it, everything else becomes possible.
When your expertise isn't enough to build the relationships that matter most.
Here's something I learned the hard way: being brilliant at what you do and being trusted to do it are two completely different skills. I spent years watching technically gifted colleagues struggle to gain buy-in, while others with similar expertise seemed to effortlessly build the kind of relationships that opened doors and created opportunities. The difference? They understood that trust isn't a nice-to-have soft skill—it's the foundation that makes everything else possible.
That's why I created this 12-month journey specifically for technical professionals who are ready to bridge the gap between their intellectual capabilities and their human impact.
A 12-month, cohort-style leadership lab designed for building high-impact trust skills through consistent practice, peer accountability, and real-world application. Think of it as a book club that could transform your career trajectory.
I'll be your guide throughout this year-long journey. Having navigated the transition from technical expert to trusted advisor myself, I understand the unique challenges you face and the specific skills that make the difference between being competent and being indispensable.
The Trusted Advisor by Charles Green—the definitive guide to building trust-based professional relationships. We'll work through this foundational text together, but more importantly, we'll make it practical and immediately applicable to your daily interactions.
Technology leaders who want to amplify their influence beyond their technical expertise
Engineers ready to build stronger connections with clients, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams
Accountants who understand that numbers tell stories, but relationships determine impact
Analysts seeking to translate data insights into trusted recommendations
Any technical professional whose role demands both intellectual rigor and human connection
Executives who want a measurable, behavior-based path to earning and sustaining client and team trust
If you've ever felt like your technical competence should speak for itself, but somehow it doesn't quite get you where you want to go, this lab is designed for you.
12 months of guided learning, practice, and peer support
Limited to 5 participants maximum—small enough for genuine relationship building and personalized attention

The year-long cadence isn't arbitrary—it's intentional. Trust-building isn't a skill you learn in a weekend workshop; it's a practice that requires consistent application, reflection, and refinement. The monthly rhythm gives you time to experiment with new approaches, encounter real challenges, and come back to the group with authentic experiences to process.
The small cohort size fosters genuine trust-based peer coaching. You'll find yourself being more honest about your struggles and more generous with your insights because you're building real relationships with people who truly understand your professional context.
The book-club-plus format marries intellectual rigor with practical application. We're not just discussing concepts—we're building the muscle memory that turns trust principles into natural behaviors.
Ready to explore how this year-long journey could transform your professional relationships? Let's have a conversation about your specific challenges and goals. I find that the most meaningful transformations happen when we start with honest self-assessment and clear intentions.
Once you're ready to commit to this journey, you'll complete your baseline diagnostic and receive your copy of The Trusted Advisor. This is where the real work begins—not in the first session, but in your willingness to engage authentically with the material and your cohort.
Our kick-off session in early Q4 sets the foundation for your year-long transformation. You'll meet your cohort, establish group norms, and begin building the trust skills that will serve you throughout your career.
Trust is the bridge between what you know and what you can accomplish. When you master it, your technical expertise becomes a gift you can truly share with the world.
Ready to spend the next 12 months building the trust skills that will amplify your impact for years to come? Let's start with a conversation about your journey.
Sometimes you need someone who's been there, done that, and can help you navigate the specific trust challenge you're facing right now.
I'll be honest—not every leadership challenge fits neatly into a workshop format or a year-long program. Sometimes you're dealing with a specific situation that's keeping you up at night: a key client relationship that's deteriorating, a team that's lost confidence in your direction, or a stakeholder who just won't seem to trust your recommendations despite your obvious expertise.
That's where I come in. After years of helping technical leaders build trust-based relationships, I've learned that the most meaningful transformations often happen in those messy, real-world moments when you need someone to help you think through your next move.
Flexible, consultative partnership tailored to your immediate needs. Whether you need a one-time strategy session, ongoing coaching through a challenging situation, or help designing trust-building systems for your team, we'll structure our work around what you actually need—not what fits into a predetermined program.
Me, working directly with you as your trusted advisor (yes, I see the irony there, and I embrace it). Having navigated these waters myself and guided countless other leaders through similar challenges, I bring both the framework and the real-world experience to help you move forward with confidence.

Sometimes you don't need a program—you need a thinking partner who's been where you are and can help you navigate the specific challenge you're facing. The beauty of consulting is that we can focus entirely on your situation, your constraints, and your desired outcomes.
I've found that my most impactful work often happens in these one-on-one partnerships where we can be completely honest about what's really happening, explore options without judgment, and develop strategies that actually fit your personality and leadership style.
The flexibility allows us to move at your pace, pivot when circumstances change, and provide exactly the level of support you need—no more, no less.
Ready to explore how targeted consulting might help you navigate your specific trust challenge? Let's start with a brief conversation about your situation. I find that even a 15-minute discussion can help clarify whether this approach is right for you.
Once we've determined that consulting is the right fit, we'll schedule your first session and I'll send you a brief preparation guide to help us make the most of our time together.
Our first session focuses on understanding your situation completely, identifying the core trust dynamics at play, and developing an initial strategy for moving forward. You'll leave with clarity and confidence about your next steps.
Trust challenges rarely wait for convenient timing. When you're ready to address what's keeping you up at night, I'm here to help you work through it.
