How This Business Coach Runs Her Practice Behind The Scenes
1. What do you do? Who do you help?
I empower business executives, including young professionals and future leaders to break out of old leadership habits in order to achieve bigger and better things than their predecessors.
I combine my expertise in risk reduction, human behavior, and strategy with existing better practices in order to build not just a strong foundation, but a thriving culture.
I’m also the author of a book called “Organization Culture Killers, Deadly Expectations: How Leaders Build Cultures of Success (Deadly Practices)“.

COURSES
- Leading Beyond Best – educates young professionals on valuable leadership skills that aren’t taught elsewhere and a good refresher for existing leaders.
- Neish Leadership Development & Coaching Programs – because they help develop actual leadership skills in ways that I’ve not ever experienced in any other program

4. What is the best piece of advice you have received?
- You will never make everyone happy, so just do your best and take pride in the ones you do.
- You must first understand who you are before you can hope to help others.
- Everything, both good and bad, happens for a reason.
- Enjoy the fruit punch when times are good and look for the potential positives that may result from bad-time… turning lemons into lemonade.
5. What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs?
- If you don’t know what you want, and can’t communicate what’s necessary to achieve it, then you’ll always be chasing your tail.
- You have the ability to impact positive change, but to be successful, you have to have the courage to look in the mirror first.
- The fastest and most effective way to grow is to prevent repeating past mistakes by learning from others, developing our people, innovation and maintaining balance through thoughtful change.
