A horse amongst a group looking in a different direction

Launchpad

Early-career professionals face a lot of uncertainty. Though overflowing with ideas and enthusiasm, they often lack mentors to help them develop, let alone the space to make – and learn from – mistakes.

With Launchpad, I’ve integrated the Hogan assessment—a trusted tool in executive search that provides a uniquely rigorous and actionable starting point—into a structured and safe space for young professionals to examine who they are, and set a course that aligns not only with what they want in the near term, but allows them to consider their future goals and professional potential.

Early choices shape lifelong outcomes

Early Choices Shape Lifelong Outcomes

After two decades coaching high potentials and senior leaders, I've seen first-hand how the choices we make early in our academic and professional lives can come to be defining moments–ones that cascade throughout our entire professional journey. Our choices–from what we choose to study and where we choose to work, to the countries we make our home and the partners we commit to–create a long tail of both opportunities and challenges that shape our future.
