My Approach
Over the many years I have worked with leaders/managers either being a leader of self to very senior management leading large organizations, they made their own difference. I had the honor and pleasure of facilitating their new insights; their ability to forge new pathways of change and transformation and their ability to live their genius. They did their own hard work; I illuminated their pathways.
I am passionate about helping those who have people management responsibility thrive. Helping them lead and manage from their strengths and talents and motivated through positive emotions – leading self and others with empathy, curiosity, creativity, passion and purpose.

Ellen Gray and I worked together for over ten years at Fairfax County, VA. She is one of the most positive and uplifting individuals I’ve had the privilege of working with during my 43-year career in local government, including 36 years as a deputy county executive, town manager, and city manager in Northern Virginia. Ellen cares deeply about people, organizations, and the community, and her concern for others is both genuine and unwavering.
She is tireless in helping others reach their full potential and is an expert facilitator—always prepared and completely unflappable. Her situational awareness, political acumen, and emotional intelligence are exceptional. Ellen and I collaborated on several major initiatives, including the development of the Fairfax County Economic Success Strategic Plan and the creation and implementation of the Fairfax County's Joint Training Academy.I could always count on Ellen to be fully present, engaged, and committed to the work. It is my honor to give her the highest possible recommendation.
