You've tried the standard fixes. The conflict persists. The turnover continues. The team stays stuck.
Maybe the problem isn't about strategy, skills, or structure. Maybe it's about the relational systems that are challenging to assess.
With a decade of experience in enterprise sales leadership and 14 years as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I help organizations diagnose and resolve the systemic issues that are hard to see.

- Inter-departmental conflict that won't resolve despite multiple interventions
- "Personality conflicts" that are systemic communication issues
- High turnover in a team or company-wide
- Post-merger integration challenges
- Leadership succession creating organizational challenges
- Family business transitions creating organizational churn
- Communication breakdowns that persist despite training
I use systemic assessment methods that hold true to group dynamics to find root causes, not just symptoms. I map your organization's relationship and communication patterns to show you what's happening, and how to intervene.
Systemic expertise can unravel complex interactions between multiple parties. The same principles that allow couples and families to function better have a strong impact on any structured group of people—including your business.
1. Discovery Consultation (complimentary) - Understand your specific challenge
2. Systems Diagnostic - In-depth assessment and analysis
3. Findings & Recommendations - Clear path forward with implementation plan
4. Ongoing Support (optional retainer) - Help you implement lasting change
Typical Investment: $15,000-$50,000 depending on organization size and scope
Available throughout Minnesota and for remote/national engagements.

I deliver customized workshops and training programs that give your team practical tools for better communication, leadership, and collaboration. My programs combine proven clinical techniques with real-world business experience. Your team learns skills that can work under pressure.
1. "The 5 Communication Patterns That Predict Team Failure" Gottman research applied to workplace teams: recognizing harsh startups, criticism, contempt, stonewalling, and defensiveness before they destroy collaboration.
2. "Looking for Safety vs. Looking for Harm" When teams are hypervigilant for danger, they miss the 80-90% of interactions that are actually safe—undermining trust and collaboration without realizing it.
3. "Reading Emotions vs. Reacting to Emotions" Teaching leaders and teams to use emotional information as values-based data for decision-making, not triggers for defensiveness.
4. "Low-Intensity Boundaries: Leading Without Anger" How to hold firm boundaries calmly by building relational capital first—boundaries based on deeply-held values, not impulsive emotions.
- 90-Minute Lunch & Learn: $2,000-$2,500
- Half-Day Workshop: $4,000-$6,000
- Full-Day Intensive: $7,500-$10,000
- Multi-Session Series: Custom pricing
All trainings can be delivered on-site in Minnesota or virtually nationwide.

Defining policy and deploying trainings on sensitive topics can be a challenge for any sized organization. Having a professional who has worked with 30+ businesses on policy development can provide perspective and direct assistance that will help your HR person, or department, succeed.
- Drug-free workplace policy development
- Return-to-work protocols that prioritize retention over termination
- Fitness-for-duty assessment coordination
- Employee mental health policy and accommodation guidance
- Crisis response protocol design
- Workplace conflict resolution procedures
- Mental health awareness training for managers
Employee mental health exists outside most HR policies and SOPs. Getting better education about addiction, abuse, trauma, and grief can empower businesses to better meet the needs of their employees and improve work functioning.
I've developed and implemented drug-free workplace and return-to-work policies for multiple businesses, shifting approach from termination to talent retention—affecting over 200 workers across various organizations.
Custom pricing based on scope and organization size.

One-on-one coaching for executives and leaders who need to navigate difficult team dynamics, organizational change, or high-stakes relationships.
My unique background—enterprise sales + clinical practice—means I understand both the business pressure and the human dynamics you're managing:
- Executives managing complex team dynamics
- Leaders navigating organizational transitions
- Managers dealing with persistent conflicts
- Business owners preparing for succession
- Professionals balancing high-pressure roles with personal relationships
- Monthly or bi-weekly sessions
- Virtual or in-person (Rochester/Minnesota)
- Confidential partnership

The statistics are grim: 70% of family businesses fail during first-generation succession, and almost 88% during the second generation. Usually it's not the business plan—it's the family dynamics.
I help family businesses navigate transitions by addressing the relationship systems that make or break succession.
- Next-generation leaders not being heard
- Founders struggling to let go of control
- Siblings in conflict about business direction
- Communication breakdowns creating operational problems
- Succession plans stalled due to family dynamics
- Balancing family roles with business roles
I combine business acumen with family systems expertise. I've managed multi-million dollar business operations and guided hundreds of families through difficult transitions.
This dual lens allows me to address both the structural business issues and the relational dynamics that may not be apparent.
$25,000-$50,000 for comprehensive succession support, depending on complexity and timeline.

Managing any size of business requires an organization to effectively onboard and retain talent. In today's climate, retention depends as much on company culture as it does on compensation.
Having a systemic expert assess and adjust meaningful interactions between employees and management can have a profound impact on employee longevity.
- Communication patterns between leadership and staff
- Onboarding effectiveness and new employee integration
- Team dynamics and collaboration quality
- Management practices and their impact on retention
- Organizational culture vs. stated values
- Exit interview pattern analysis
- Culture assessment report with specific findings
- Actionable recommendations for improvement
- Implementation support and coaching
- Follow-up assessments to measure change
