The only way to get better at hard conversations is to have them. I used to dread difficult conversations. My nervous system would actually hijack me. My heart would race, I would feel nauseous, and my instinct was to run. It wasn't just nerves; it was a visceral reaction to conflict. I used to wish there was a book or a course that would make that feeling go away. But looking back, I realize that Courage is a muscle, not a mood. You cannot read your way into being good at co

Our continued C-Suite Coach partnership with Zero Bond provides a vital platform for leaders to engage in deep, strategic work. In our recent Women’s leadership brunch, we shared the C-Suite Coach Career Curator framework.  * Career Curators treat their professional journey as a collection of high-impact "exhibits." This requires the strategic selection of roles, projects, and networks that align with a core long-term vision.  * Every move is evaluated by its ability to add s

I often say that generalizations are a sign of lazy thinking. When you put a person, a market, or a problem into a pre-made box, you stop thinking. You miss the nuance. One of our core values at C-Suite Coach is Be Curious. For me, this is not just a soft skill. It is a survival mechanism that turned into a strategic superpower. For much of my career, I was the Only. The only woman, the only Black person, or the youngest person in the room. I could have generalized those room

The difference between a negligent leader and a conscientious leader is the audit. In my career, I have had to make the hard decision to end things - sometimes it’s client contracts, or contracts with people I’ve had the privilege to work with.  I can see the temptation for leaders to say, "Well, it is what it is. I made the best business decision. Their reaction is their problem." I call that the Lazy Leader response. It absolves you of growth and personal responsibility. To

There is something incredibly powerful about bringing together women who are already at the top of their game. We’ve been hosting a series of brunches for executive women at Zero Bond, and every single one has reached capacity almost as soon as we’ve announced it.  While the setting is beautiful, the real impact is in the energy of the room. These sessions are a deep dive into the way we connect with others. When you’re moving to that next level of leadership, your greatest t

The core mission of C-Suite Coach is to architect the engaged, trusted workforce culture that people deserve. When I connect with an internal champion, an employee deeply committed to transforming their culture, my passion ignites! I want to help them execute their vision right then and there. This is especially true for organizations whose need for strategic leadership development is urgent. In the past, that desire led me to offer steep discounts when budgets were tight, ho

In 2017, I ran the NYC Marathon. It was a grind that forced focus and extreme discipline, a personal lesson in sustained effort. Years later, my firm, C-Suite Coach, landed New York Road Runners as a client for our executive coaching and leadership training programs. It was a surreal, full-circle moment. This year, I was at the finish line watching the runners stream in. It was an incredible reminder that the lessons I learned running the race, perseverance and resilience, ar

For the last three years, C-Suite Coach has partnered with SiriusXM's DIRO group (Thank you Donna Burke for bringing us back), providing specialized training for their sales teams. In the past, we've explored topics like authentic leadership and navigating conflict. This time, we focused on Thriving Through Change . This topic is particularly exciting because I’ve come to understand that change isn't a single event in a career. It really is a constant. Whether it's the ripple
