You're doing the work.
Something's still not working.

Maybe it's your leadership team. Maybe it's you. Probably both.

We work with executive teams and senior leaders to build the trust, accountability, and honest conversations that turn good leadership into real performance.

Meet Andy

I've spent my career studying what makes teams work.

For 15 years I led creative teams at one of Chicago's premier live theaters. I watched what happened when talented people trusted each other enough to do their best work. And what happened when they didn't.

That experience shaped everything about how I work with executive teams and individual leaders today. Most leadership teams have the talent, the strategy, and the ambition. What they don't have is the trust, the candor, or the shared accountability to execute together.

More About Me
Who We Work With

Built for leaders and teams at growing businesses.

We work with executive teams and individual senior leaders at privately held businesses and nonprofits — typically 20 to 500 employees across healthcare, professional services, technology, construction, and nonprofits serving children. We take on a small number of clients intentionally so every engagement gets our full attention.

What We Do

How we work with leaders and their teams.

Executive Team Coaching

We work with the CEO and their leadership team together. Through The Six Shifts™, we reset how the team communicates, makes decisions, and holds each other accountable. This is the work that turns a group of leaders into one team with one direction.

Most leaders focus on managing the people below them. We believe the real leverage is the team at the top.

The team you're on is more important than the team you lead.

If your leadership team is ready to operate differently, let's talk about what that looks like.
