𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲r 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳?

You’re showing up. You’re performing. You’re hitting the goals.

But under the surface, there’s friction.
Burnout that won’t go away. Constant second-guessing. Feeling like your leadership no longer fits.

You’re not alone. And it’s not about working harder.

It’s usually about awareness.
Noticing what’s driving you behind the scenes.

That’s why I created the 𝗘𝗣𝗖 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

It’s free, takes less than 10 minutes, and gives you a snapshot of:
✔️ Strengths
✔️ Blind spots
✔️ Growth opportunities

You can also request a 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 — a personalized, clinically grounded reflection that connects mindset with meaningful leadership shifts.

𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 — adaptability doesn’t always come easy.
Not for me.
Not for a lot of the leaders I work with.

There’s often a moment when someone says:
“𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦... 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘤𝘬.”

That makes sense.
When things feel uncertain, it’s natural to grip tighter.
To fall back on what’s familiar.
To resist change, even when we know it’s needed.

Coaching doesn’t offer quick fixes.
It offers space to slow down and get curious.

To ask:
➡️ What pressure am I carrying?
➡️ What’s keeping me stuck?
➡️ What would it take to let go, even a little?

You don’t have to figure it all out.
You just have to be willing to look.

Great leadership isn’t just about influence. It’s about ignition.⁣
⁣
I’ve come to believe that the most effective leaders don’t just guide others—they elevate them. They ignite potential. They transform environments not by force, but by 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, and 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭.⁣
⁣
“𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦—𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘦𝘵, 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.”⁣
⁣
That belief is at the heart of what we do at 𝐄𝐏𝐂 | 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 & 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. ⁣
⁣
My approach as an executive coach is grounded in the idea that when leaders commit to deep, internal growth (𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦)—everything around them shifts (𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦).⁣
⁣
Teams perform with 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞. Strategy becomes 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐫. Culture becomes 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫.⁣
⁣
If you’re on the path of leadership and looking to lead from a place of deeper alignment and greater impact, I’d love to connect.⁣

I had the pleasure of being a guest on Marc Kantor's Podcast with Dr. Laura Ellick to discuss how past experiences can influence present challenges—and more importantly, how to reframe those patterns to move forward with clarity and strength.

We also are discussing the importance of Executive Performance Coaching and the relationships we as professionals build with our patients and clients.

Episode is coming out soon! Stay tuned.

Grateful to have my latest article, “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆—𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁,” featured by Gerry Sandusky on the Presentation Transformation platform.

👇 Full article link is at the bottom of this post.

In this piece, I explore a leadership challenge we don’t talk about enough:

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦'𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺—𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵, 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯’𝘵.

🔍 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲:

• Why clear thinking doesn’t always equal clear communication

• The two cognitive traps that block clarity:
→ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦
→ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺

• How emotion, context, and perception shape what others truly hear

• The silent gap between what we say and what others understand—and how to close it

Thank you, 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆, for inviting me to share this message. It’s inspiring to see a leader use his platform to elevate a conversation that is so often overlooked.

Gerry’s work at the intersection of presence, communication, and leadership continues to model what transformational clarity really looks like in practice.

This topic lies at the core of why I launched 𝗘𝗣𝗖 | 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴:
To help high-performing professionals bridge the gap between intention and impact—and lead with clarity, presence, and purpose.

At EPC, we use a 𝗽𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵, integrating clinical insight, emotional intelligence, and leadership science to help leaders communicate in ways that actually land.

Whether you are a seasoned executive or an emerging leader, remember: the responsibility for clarity always rests on the communicator
