Sustainable Success & Driving Deliverables

Are you leading a team or organization and feeling frustrated by slow progress, underperforming team members, and challenging dynamics?

It’s time to acquire a new set of key skills…or to refresh the ones you already have.

While you may excel in technical or clinical skills for the role, enhancing your communication, project management, and leadership expertise can help drive performance and increase productivity.

Partner with me and the Leadership Development Institute at UCI, and let’s level up your managerial toolkit together!

Why work with me?

As a professor, consultant, and coach, I’m passionate about helping teams and organizations maximize their collective output by harnessing the unique strengths of their members. My innovative curriculum, recognized by the National Academies of Science, has delivered impactful results for leaders and teams at esteemed organizations like Stanford University, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, the Orange County Department of Education, UCI Health, Cedar Sinai, and the U.S. Army.

But what truly matters are the measurable improvements achieved by individual trainees and teams. Data from external evaluators and longitudinal experiments indicate that my courses have led to a remarkable 70% increase in individual teamwork skills and enhanced team effectiveness by at least 30%.

If you're looking to elevate your team's performance and achieve your goals, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Here’s how I’ll help you find sustainable success as a leader:

  • Wisdom is valuable for making better decisions and navigating challenges with understanding. It comes from learning from mistakes, setbacks, and growth. To find a compelling direction for your workforce or team, we'll begin by reflecting on the strengths, capabilities, and aspirations of those you lead, considering the organization's strategic aims and the shifting external landscape to find the way forward.

  • Use what you’ve learned from team assessments, feedback, and past experiences to shape your project or team aims. Keep learning and stay curious about new developments in your field, as they might give insight into your team’s work! We’ll use this information to make informed decisions and create a project plan for high-performance results.

  • Plan the steps needed to achieve your career goals, which may include discussing roles and responsibilities, adding a team member, or seeking more resources. Embrace new challenges and be open to calculated risks to discover the team’s full potential. Change is challenging and rewarding, so stay flexible and open-minded to handle unexpected challenges or wins.

  • Develop a project plan with key metrics and deliverables involving outsiders for feedback, resources, and organizational support. Update your team's profile and progress reports to showcase your achievements. Proactively take the initiative to catch the attention of stakeholders, funders, and partners to drive high performance in your group.

  • You've set the direction, created a space for contributions, and the team is progressing. But with busy schedules and competing agendas, maintaining motivation and prioritizing work can be tricky. To avoid this, focus on purpose with milestones, metrics, and real-time recognition. I can help you prioritize purpose with feedback and check-ins to ensure your team delivers high-impact outcomes.

Your organizational impact and career advancement depend on your team's ability to deliver, so you have a choice:
