I advise boards and senior executives in high-stakes situations such as mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, CEO succession, strategic change and crisis. The leaders with whom I consult are already doing many things well, want to improve themselves and their company, and are courageous enough to seek help to do so. My approach works so well that my M&A clients succeed 400% more often than the average. In CEO succession, my clients retain over 95% of the internal executive talent who were contenders for the top job, but not selected. In a crisis I have been described as “the secret weapon”. My clients include: • AAA • AT&T • Belk, Boys and Girls Clubs of America • Chubb • Cox Enterprises • DIRECTV • IBM • Johnson Controls • Joy Global • NextGear Capital • Olive Garden • Schnabel Engineering • Tennessee Valley Authority • Westinghouse Due to the sensitive nature of my work, many clients cannot be named. I am the author of High-Stakes Leadership - Leading Through Crisis with Courage, Judgment and Fortitude, her first book published in September 2017. My follow-up book, The Merger Mindset: How Leaders Get Value from Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures, co-authored by Dr. Linda Henman, was released by Taylor & Francis.
