Stand Strong Strategies serves leaders and organizations navigating burnout, complexity, disruption, and sustained pressure. Every engagement is designed to help leaders recover capacity, strengthen clarity, and build a more sustainable way to lead.
Stand Strong Executive Reset™
The Stand Strong Executive Reset™ is a premium 12-week executive experience for leaders who have built their careers on resilience and now recognize that endurance alone is not a sustainable operating model. This intimate cohort is designed for leaders ready to lead from capacity, not survival.
Participants move through the five-phase Stand Strong Capacity Framework™: Reveal, Reset,
Rebuild, Reinforce, and Rise. The experience is structured to help leaders measure capacity, identify hidden patterns, regulate before they lead, redesign how they work, strengthen trust and presence, and build a Leadership Blueprint™ for sustainable performance.

Training Workshops
Executive Coaching
For most leaders, the toughest challenges aren’t found in dashboards, strategies, or boardrooms — they live in the quiet, unseen moments. The late-night decisions. The lingering doubts. The responsibility of caring for others while trying to remain intact yourself. That’s why I built my coaching practice.
A Career Grounded in Real-World Leadership
With three decades in healthcare leadership — including my years as Chief Academic Officer and as a mentor to hundreds of physicians — I’ve learned that leadership is both a privilege and a profound weight. Even the most capable leaders need a place where they can speak freely, reset, examine their patterns, and grow without judgment.
Executive Coaching Approach
My coaching approach is grounded in empathy, strategic insight, and the conviction that impactful leadership starts with deep self-awareness. Drawing from my experience as a licensed clinical social worker, trauma specialist, and certified executive coach, I help leaders:
Coaching That Supports, Not Pushes
This isn’t “push harder” coaching. It’s human-centered support for high performers who want to lead with honesty, compassion, and sustainability. If you’re ready to reclaim your energy, refine your influence, and reconnect with the leader you’re becoming, I would be honored to walk with you.
Coaching for Leaders Who Carry Much and Care Deeply
As a certified executive coach and member of the John Maxwell Leadership Institute, I partner with leaders to:
Coaching Tiers
Packages available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month formats.
Consulting: Stand Strong Strategies
For more than thirty years, I have worked at the crossroads of leadership, humanity, and healthcare. I've guided teams through hurricanes, pandemics, system breakdowns, workforce crises, and the quiet heartbreaks that never make the news. And along the way, I learned one truth: leaders can only shoulder a system for so long before the system begins to weigh them down.
The Origin of Still Standing
Still Standing emerged from that realization, a recognition of what leaders endure, what they carry, and what they need to remain whole while serving others.
A Career Spent Supporting Those Who Carry the Most
As a former Chief Academic Officer and Designated Institutional Officer at Our Lady of the Lake, a licensed clinical social worker, and a certified executive coach, I’ve spent my career walking beside those with profound responsibility — physicians, executives, educators, and leaders who continue showing up even when they’re tired, anxious, or unseen.
Why I Founded Stand Strong Strategies™
I created Stand Strong Strategies because our healthcare workforce is stretched beyond its limits, and traditional leadership training ignores the deeper wounds: moral distress, emotional labor, and the hidden weight leaders take home with them. My work blends data, narrative, and strategy to help organizations not just respond to burnout, but eliminate its roots.
My Mission Across Every Role
Whether I'm speaking to audiences, coaching executives, or consulting with crisis-tested health systems, my mission remains constant:
To help leaders stay human while leading others — and to build systems worthy of the people who hold them together.
What I Believe
I believe in leadership that listens.
In systems that heal.
In organizations that stand strong because their people do.
A Partnership for Culture Change
If you’re ready to cultivate a workplace where well-being and excellence thrive together, I would be honored to partner with you.
