      Founder and President, Distinct Solutions, LLC

      With three decades of consulting, executive coaching, and keynote speaking experience, I prepare leaders to be 'high-impact, and transformative'. As a systems thinker, I view organizations as "human systems" and partner with leaders to identify and address the "root cause" of cultural, politically sensitive, and organizational change issues. I help my clients to consciously use their "executive presence" to attend to the human as well as the strategic side of business in order to perform at epic levels to get bigger and better results. Examples of how I have helped Executives and their teams include:**Coaching leaders to be "masterful" via their Self Awareness, Executive Presence, Emotional Intelligence, Leadership Styles, Corporate Game Theory, etc. **Customizing a coaching process to improve the communication between Physicians and Nurses in an intense triage environment**Working with female leaders to be more effective in male-dominated environments**Customizing a coaching intervention to settle a long-standing, critical issue between Management and Union employees **Coaching Six Sigma-certified Black Belts to be effective change agents to influence and successfully drive the organization-wide change process**Coaching executives and their teams to break debilitating power struggles and resolve interpersonal conflict The above successes occurred in such companies as: AT&T, Atlantic Health Systems, Hackensack Meridian Medical Center, Novartis, Suburban Propane, Philips Lighting Company, Alcatel-Lucent, Global Aerospace, BASF, Pershing, Church & Dwight, U.S. Department of Labor, GAF, Schindler Elevator Corporation.
