The Journey

I spent my career asking questions. 

Now I help leaders answer theirs.

For nearly two decades as a broadcast journalist, I covered the White House, Capitol Hill, presidential campaigns, and executive agencies.

I watched leaders communicate with clarity and conviction, and I watched them crumble under scrutiny.

I learned what it takes to lead when you don’t have all the answers, when every decision is highly visible, and when your next move matters.

What I Bring

A journalist’s instinct for asking questions that matter, following the threads that reveal what’s really going on and helping people make sense of complexity. 

Award-winning communication expertise including multiple Edward R. Murrow Awards, a DuPont-Columbia Award for excellence in reporting and recognition from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for coverage of the events surrounding September 11,2001.

An investigative approach to complexity that uncovers patterns, reveals hidden barriers and connects disparate threads. 

 

The Work Today

In 2010, I launched Clarity Coaching & Consulting.

Today, I ask different questions—of leaders navigating transitions, teams stuck in dysfunction, organizations facing transformational change.

But the skill is the same: asking the questions that surface what’s hidden, that help people see patterns they’ve missed, that move them from stuck to strategic.

I work with individuals and teams in transition, building trust and effectiveness, and navigating large-scale change.

I work with individuals and teams across sectors — from global companies to universities, nonprofits, and tribal nations — helping them build trust, strengthen effectiveness, and lead through uncertainty.


The contexts are different, but the work is always the same: helping people find clarity in the midst of complexity, build capacity to lead through uncertainty, and navigate the messy middle of transformation.

From breaking news to building leaders; the work is always to find clarity in complexity when the stakes are high.
