Coach C-levels & High Achievers, PCC * Building Modern Leadership + Growth & Wisdom for Thriving => Experience Earned > 3 decades * Helping: C-suite + Founders + Thought Leaders * X Fortune 100

I help leaders perform at a high level under pressure by integrating behavioral science, lived experience, and practical strategy.
The work strengthens performance, decision-making, and leadership presence when outcomes matter most.

I work with executives, founders, and high-output teams operating in complex, demanding environments where clear thinking, emotional control, and precise communication directly affect results.

My comprehensive experience & skills include:
• Professional Certified Coach (ICF, PCC)
• Executive & Leadership Coach
• Performance and Growth Strategist
• Healthcare and Well-being SME. 

=> Request a consult or Keynote: RonnieKinsey.net. 

I've led at senior levels across healthcare, technology, and growth-stage organizations, including Abbott Labs Neurosciences in New York City, ROI accountability in emerging Asia-Pacific markets with Fuji Bank, and executive leadership with founding teams in Silicon Alley. 

I've driven progress at institutions including NYU Langone, Johns Hopkins, Mass General, & Stanford Healthcare, before establishing my own practice as Founder & CEO. 

Those environments shaped my offerings. They taught me how leaders operate under constraint, how teams adapt amid uncertainty, and what responsibility looks like when the margin for error narrows. 

What leaders gain: 
• Sharper performance habits
• Stronger emotional composure
• Clearer thinking during demanding moments
• Communication that supports measurable results
• Behavior shifts that influence culture and direction
• Leadership grounded in purpose and forward movement

My work is rooted in real-world leadership. It is direct, supportive, and built on decades of experience guiding people through high-pressure situations.

Micromanagement shrinks people.
Development expands them.
Leadership is building leaders:

Train people well enough so they can leave.
Treat them well enough so they do not want to.
 - Richard Branson

That line endures because it is operational,
not sentimental.

It describes a leadership investment
that pays compounding returns.

Leadership is leaving people stronger
than you found them.

• Capability creates options.
• Respect creates commitment.
• Growth creates confidence.

I've seen this countless times in my career:
Micromanagement shrinks people.
Development expands them.

When leaders build real skill, people know
they are employable with options.

When leaders design work around human dignity
and growth, people stay by choice.

The workplace truth is simple.
People do their best work when they are both
challenged and valued.

Build leaders.
Retention follows as a consequence, not a tactic.

I have coached capable professionals into
respected leaders.
Watching what they go on to build is the real reward.

Prioritize growth, ownership, and mutual respect.
You will not need to persuade people to stay.
They stay on purpose.

Most people don’t resist success itself.
They resist the reminder of choices delayed
or standards lowered.

When someone reacts to discipline or boundaries,
it’s often because it exposes a difference in how
work gets done.

Calm preparation can unsettle last-minute scrambling.
Consistency can frustrate uneven effort.

Clear confidence can irritate those still second-
guessing.
A steady working rhythm can highlight chaos
without saying a word.

What shows up as criticism is often comparison.
Not disagreement, just discomfort with the contrast.

High performers learn this early.
There’s no need to explain consistency.
No need to apologize for doing the work well.
No need to soften capability to keep others comfortable.

Standards stay intact.
Focus stays on execution.
Results do the talking.

Not everyone is ready to face what steady effort reveals.

So stay grounded.
Not posturing. Not defensive.

Continue the work
that already required courage to begin.

Right stays right.
Even when
it costs you.

Wrong stays wrong.
Even when it’s rewarded.

Reputations rarely explode.
They thin.
Choice by choice.

Careers don’t usually break from incompetence.
They weaken through self-approval.
Small allowances framed as practical, reasonable,
temporary.

A deadline bent.
A truth softened.
A standard postponed for convenience.

Integrity is not difficult.
It is uninterrupted.

The people others trust most
did not optimize for comfort or applause.

Truth was spoken when silence offered cover.
Fairness held when speed looked tempting.
Trust was treated as capital, not language.

Five habits that separate
credibility from tolerance:

🟢  Absent people still deserve protection.
🟢  Every decision should survive future review.
🟢  Plain truth outperforms polished performance.
🟢  Promises matter even without witnesses.
🟢  Reach never replaces reliability.

Consistency creates authority.

Integrity is what allows it to last.

Leadership isn’t always comfortable.
Real leaders know where to stand.
In front for blame. Behind for praise.

No spotlight.
No performance.
Just responsibility.

Their influence is not measured by words.
It shows up in how people leave feeling:

Protected.
Trusted.
Counted.

Long after the work is done,
their conduct becomes the reference point.

This is how great leadership holds 
when it matters:

Carry the Weight Early
1️⃣ 
> They absorb pressure before it spreads.
> Shielding the team is reflex, not calculation.

Pass Credit Cleanly 
2️⃣ 
> Recognition moves through them, not toward them.
> The right names stay attached to the work.

Set the Emotional Temperature 
3️⃣ 
> They slow reactions without shutting momentum 
down.
> Composure gives others space to think clearly.

Use Authority to Create Safety 
4️⃣ 
> Influence is applied downward, not upward.
> People work better when risk feels contained.

Remain the Same Under Contrast 
5️⃣ 
> and setbacks do not rewrite character.
> Reliability earns belief over time.

Decide Without Deflecting 
6️⃣ 
> Accountability stays with them when choices get hard.
> Clear ownership prevents confusion and 
protects trust.

Leave People Stronger Than Found 
7️⃣ 
> Interactions add confidence, not doubt.
> Progress feels possible after working with them.

Stand in ways your future self would reflect 
and respect.
That's leadership people remember.

Surround yourself with people
who want you to win.
And make it unmistakable.

Progress is rarely solo.
Momentum is social.

The Five-Person Standard:

You move faster, and further,
when the right people stay close.

Who belongs in your circle

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿
Pushes you past comfort and refuses excuses.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿
Stretches your thinking beyond familiar ceilings.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲
Keeps you centered when pressure rises.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿
Turns conversation into execution.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿
Tells you what you need to hear, not what flatters.

When these five surround you,
opportunity feels less theoretical.
It starts knocking.

Being easy to work with means progress,
but never at
someone else’s expense.

Results still matter.
But how the work feels along the way decides
who stays engaged.

Integrity shows up in how credit is handled
when things go right.

Kindness shows up when patience would be easier
to withdraw.

Humility keeps conversations open instead of tense.

Generosity shows up in how time, context,
and attention are shared.

Over my career I've seen how this applies
across roles and situations:
On teams. 📕
With clients. 📔
In partnerships. 📗
While building products or services. 📚

People do not keep working with you because
things look good on paper.

They stay because collaboration feels fair, respectful,
and human.

This resonates with people who build their careers
through repeat trust.

Opportunities return to those
others enjoy working with again.

Most people focus on
what is visible.
The effort others notice first.

But progress rarely comes from
what gets the spotlight.

It comes from what is repeated
when no one is recording.

That is the quiet math
behind outcomes.

That is how effort earns its return.

The professionals people seek out share one trait.
They adapt fast
when conditions change. ⤵️

Credibility is rarely tied to title or visibility.
I've seen it earned through usefulness when
complexity shows up.

Adaptive thinking is not conceptual.
It is demonstrated through measurable problem solving.

A bottleneck removed that saved six weeks. ✪

A process redesigned that reduced errors
by 18 percent. ✪

Decision owners aligned, so approvals moved in days,
not quarters. ✪

Momentum restored without escalation. ✪

I've also seen this is how trust forms in decision-dense
environments.
Outcomes make judgment visible.

Strong collaborators reduce friction under pressure.
Options are clarified. ✅
Decisions are made with incomplete data. ✅
Adjustments happen without ego. ✅

This is what keeps essential progress at work.
Reliability compounds relevance over time.

That is why certain people are consistently
pulled into the meaningful work.
☀️ 
Be the person you want to work with.

A title won’t make your career a success.
How people experience
working with you will.

Most professionals have felt the drag 
of an environment
where respect and accountability slip.

The cost shows up fast:

🔺 Withholding information that stalls momentum
🔺 Interrupting, dismissing, or talking past others
🔺 Ego shaping decisions instead of outcomes
🔺 Commitments made casually, then ignored
🔺 Defensiveness replacing real listening

Being easy to work with is underestimated.
It is also decisive.

It looks like this:

🆗 Doing what you said you would do
🆗 Offering solutions, not added friction
🆗 Saying what matters, clearly and early
🆗 Adjusting quickly when priorities change
🆗 Holding respect even during disagreement

People remember who reduces drag,
keeps work moving ahead,
and makes days more workable.

Careers accelerate faster
when ease of collaboration
becomes part of how you are known.

Most success stories look obvious
only after they work.

What happens first is rarely visible.
Skill tightens.
Judgment forms.
Capacity stretches.

This phase feels slow because it produces structure,
not applause.
Structure is what allows success to scale
without collapse.

Many people misread this stretch.
They chase visibility instead of durability.

When growth accelerates, it is rarely sudden.
It is revealed.

The strongest success forms once the foundation
can carry it.

If progress feels understated right now,
that restraint may be its strength.

You are not behind.
The payoff favors those who finish with structure.

Your average day is someone else’s aspiration.
Some people start with reach.
Others start with limits.

Time, access, support, and margin
are not evenly distributed.

So progress is not a race.
It is a series of decisions.

What you say yes to.
What you protect.
What you build with others instead of alone.

When everything cannot be done,
selection becomes the strategy that separates
traction from effort.

Progress is not volume.
It is intention applied
where it actually changes something.

The work that matters most
often requires restraint, not more acceleration.

Impact is not exposure.
It is what keeps working after attention moves on.

Finding the right job is hard. Relocating is even harder. I make it easier, more meaningful & 🤩

I’ve relocated. Reinvented. Restarted.
Not just once but over and over again.

I know what it means to leave the familiar behind in search of something better.

That’s why I don’t just help people relocate or change jobs. I help them relaunch.

Success isn’t about where you go next but who you become when you get there.

Over the years, I’ve led recruitment teams across borders, trained 100+ professionals, and helped thousands of candidates navigate significant transitions in life and career.

But I’m not in this for the metrics.

I’m in it for the moments when someone stops playing small and starts living with conviction.

Follow Your Heart ❤️ isn’t just a brand.
It’s a way of life.

If you’re standing at the edge of change, I’m here to help you leap.

💥💥 Kicking off an interview with the question:
“What movies do you like?” is an instant icebreaker.

A great interview starts with great questions.

And sometimes, the best interviewers are the ones you’d least expect.

In this video, an unusual interviewer asks,

“What movies do you like?”

At first, it feels random, even odd… but as the conversation unfolds, something interesting happens.

Because good conversations aren’t just about the questions;
they’re about connection. 🤩

And sometimes, the people we least expect are the ones who surprise us the most.

So let’s never judge someone by their appearance
because we might just miss out on something special.

Agree?👍

🌍 Guiding Careers & Relocations | Helping People Navigate Change | Founder @ Follow Your Heart ❤️

Never give up.
But sometimes, giving up is the best thing you can do.

Unless you’re on the verge of:

- Reaching a new goal
- Making a bold career move
- Overcoming a chronic illness

Or 

- Building something from scratch
- Searching for the right job opportunity 
- Relocating to a new place that excites you 

Then, persistence is key.

But what if:

- You’re stuck in a job that drains you?
- You’re in a toxic relationship?
- You’re living somewhere uninspiring?

Then, letting go might be the real power move.

Because the real magic isn’t in never giving up.

It’s in knowing when to push forward and when to walk away.

Do you agree?👍

“I can’t anymore.”
This is said in so many places:

- At work, when pressure builds.
- In the gym, when energy runs out.
- In relationships, when nothing seems to change.

Or maybe…

You’re trying to relocate but hit wall after wall.
Your job search leads to more rejections than replies.
Bills keep coming, and you’re just trying to stay afloat.

In those moments, it’s easy to think: 
What’s the point?

But here’s what’s true: 
there’s always a way forward.

Not always fast.
Not always easy.
But still possible.

The key? 

Tapping into something deeper:

- Purpose
- Passion
- Meaning

That’s where grit and energy come from.

And as this video shows…
It’s hard to beat someone who never gives up.

Agree?👍

Whatever path we take, we rarely walk it alone.
That’s why we talk about:

- Shared values
- Shared vision
- Shared goals


Because when our direction aligns with others:

We find a connection.
We find momentum.
We find support.

Especially when it’s tough.

So whether you’re:

- Leaving a company
- Relocating to a new place
- Making bold career moves

Let’s remember: you’re not alone.

Agree?👍

The Chase 💨🏃 “Be careful what you wish for.”
We’re constantly chasing:

- The next bonus,
- The next promotion,
- The next big opportunity.

But at what cost?

Too often, we sacrifice:

- Our health,
- Our core values,
- Our relationships. 

In extreme cases, we work ourselves, sick!
Just to add some extra numbers to some spreadsheets.

Maybe it’s better to walk towards:

- fulfilment,
- finding meaning, 
- and making an impact…

Agree?👍

"But why do you need to wreck this company?"
"Because it's wreckable, alright."

Most people don't enter the workforce wanting to destroy anything.

They enter with:

- Purpose
- Energy
- Belief

But slowly, almost invisibly 
they get absorbed into systems 
that reward extraction over contribution.

You start learning the real rules:

Undermine quietly.
Outperform loudly.
Protect numbers at all costs.

You can always see a company's structure:

The hierarchy.
The spreadsheets.
The revenues and profits.

But you can't see the soul.

Because somewhere along the way,
making money replaced meaning.

In the film Wall Street, Bud Fox has an early awakening.

Not because the hours are long.
Not because the work is hard.

But because he realises something devastating:

For him to win,
someone else has to lose.
Including his own father.

That "You used me" moment
is exactly what many people feel when they leave companies.

Burnout isn't caused by workload.
It's caused by betrayal.

When values are promised 
but numbers decide.

When loyalty is preached 
but punished.

When you realise the game you played was wrong from the start, 
then walking away isn't a weakness.

It's clarity.

Agree?👍
