I equip accidental leaders with the leadership confidence, team-building expertise, and business acumen they need to build successful companies - No MBA required.

Decision Breakdown happens when a good decision falls apart after the meeting. People leave with different interpretations, priorities start multiplying, and the team is not moving in the same direction.

I coach senior leaders in 10 to 100-person organizations to lead with clarity and confidence under pressure and turn decisions into clear direction and follow through.

We do that by building practical leadership frameworks leaders actually use:

- Clear strategic direction and priorities that stay focused long enough to follow through

- Leadership team meeting rhythms that drive decisions, commitment, ownership, and follow through

- Delegation and accountability that stick so you are not the bottleneck

- Stronger leadership presence, confidence, and self-awareness when the stakes are high

- Consistent talking points so staff, peers, and board hear the same message

My approach is practical and calm. We clarify the decision, confirm the direction, and leave the meeting aligned on talking points, ownership, and next steps. Debate well in the room. Leave the room aligned. Even if you are only 75% in agreement, you are 100% committed.

I bring 25 years leading in Fortune 500 companies and 8 years coaching senior leaders and teams to show you how to keep your team aligned and improve follow through.

I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions. I have goals for 2026, but I’m not issuing myself big ultimatums this week. In fact, I’m taking a week’s vacation, so I will go radio silent on professional socials tomorrow.

What I do like, though, is a good word for the year. 

As I reflected on 2025, one thing I noted was that I got away from the details of too many things. I always know what I need to do, but I’m not great at always doing it. But I’m always thinking about my goals and whether I will hit them. (Some I did, some I didn’t.)

Over the holidays, I heard a great Nick Saban quote to the effect of: "Don’t focus on outcomes; focus on process." The details matter. Execution matters.

So, my word for 2026 is “Discipline.”

Doing the things that need to be done. Executing the processes that lead to my and my client’s success.

Do you have a word for the year? What is it?

The future of International School of Indiana is so bright. It’s my honor to be an alumni parent, board member, and incoming board president.

View company: International School of Indiana

This morning, alongside ISI students, families, faculty, staff, and community supporters, we publicly launched the third capital campaign in the International School of Indiana's 31-year history: ONE Future. This $14 million campaign is a transformative effort that celebrates our school's remarkable journey and charts a bold course for its future. 

In addition to sharing our exciting plans for the future, we also announced that, in partnership with the campaign co-chairs, we've raised $12.1 million of the $14 million goal during the silent phase!

This year, I spent 484 hours coaching senior leaders through new roles, tough decisions, and high-stakes change.

The biggest lesson: the decision is rarely the problem. Decision breakdown occurs after the meeting when priorities, talking points, and follow-through are inconsistent.

In 2026, my work is simple: help leaders move from Decision to Aligned Execution, so their teams leave meetings clear, committed, and able to act.

If you’re stepping into a new role or leading a major change and feel decisions are starting to drift, book a 25-minute Executive Strategy Call. We’ll clarify what matters, identify the cause of the breakdown, and map a 30-day plan.

Book a call with the link in the first comment.

Avoid Decision Breakdown in 2026

Such a great experience to be on the Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front with Simon Kardynal, CD, MA.

We discussed all things leadership, from the importance of mentors to the importance of providing better leadership training after promotions.
