VALUES (PRINCIPLES)

🛡️ Integrity 🤝 Empathy 💪 Skill 🎯 Results

Throughout my career, I became widely recognized for my ability to guide and mentor others. While the business achievements were meaningful, the most rewarding aspect of my work was supporting people as they navigated complex—and often messy—professional situations. Colleagues frequently sought me out for perspective and clarity, often outside of business hours and away from the workplace. This consistent pattern ultimately inspired me to create Away From Work.

I draw upon my extensive executive background, decades of practical experience, and the insights gained through my doctoral research to offer confidential conversations that help individuals reflect on and navigate challenging workplace dynamics. Difficult relationships. Complex team interactions. Counterproductive politics. High-pressure expectations. Unreasonable assignments.

My role is not to provide directives or solutions. Instead, I offer understanding, perspective, creativity, and strategic thinking—creating a psychologically safe space away from work where clarity and ideas for your consideration can emerge safely and privately.
