Succession, Leadership Landmines, Mountain Retreats

It’s been an incredible year of growth and discovery - I am excited to share what’s ahead…

Succession Research Study

I'm focusing on what matters most to you—solving real problems with science-backed solutions. Here's what's happening: Firm founders are retiring in record numbers, but here's the problem nobody's talking about—the emotional and relational chaos left behind. While everyone focuses on the money and legal matters, the human cost can devastate teams, cultures, and bottom lines.  My solution? The first-ever succession transition study for design firms.  We're mapping exactly what goes wrong relationally when leadership changes hands, then creating a proven roadmap to protect what you've built. Want to be part of the solution?

Your Team's Brain on Generational Conflict 

Ever wonder why your team feels more fractured than ever? It's not just "personality differences"—it's neuroscience. Different generations literally process information, motivation, and feedback differently. Add AI and technology stress, and you've got a perfect storm.  New workshops launching Q3: 

  • Generational Powerhouse - Turn age differences into your competitive advantage.

  • Leadership Landmines - The unconscious mistakes that destroy trust (and how to avoid them). 

What I'm Learning (So You Don't Have To) 

This June, I'm diving deep into creativity neuroscience at "The Liberty to Create" conference in Philadelphia. Translation: I'm studying how your brain actually generates breakthrough ideas, so I can help your team do it better.

Let's Connect in Real Life 

  • AIA National Convention - San Diego, June 10th (I'm co-facilitating "Running a Firm"with the AIA Trust team) 

  • Mountain Executive Retreats - I’ve bought a second home in Utah's Wasatch Mountains. We should conduct your next retreat in the area. Park City, Snow Basin, Nordic Valley…take your pick. Direct flights from most cities, mountain air that actually improves decision-making, and space to think clearly.
