Executive & Operations Leadership Coaching for COOs, Integrators, and Visionary CEOs of Mission-Driven Companies
Stop Managing Chaos. Start Leading Growth!
Are you the operational leader — the COO, the integrator, the second-in-command? Whatever your title, if you’re stuck in a reactive cycle of firefighting, pulled between your CEO’s next big idea and your team’s need for focus, I provide the systems and mindset to become a strategic anchor, helping you build a company that scales without burning you out.

Trusted Coach to COOs & Founders - especially
those with ADHD and Neurodivergent brains!
IS THIS FOR YOU?
If You're the
Operational Backbone,
YOU BELONG HERE!
I work with the operational leaders who get things done: the New or Early-Stage COO, the Integrator, the Director of Operations, the Second-in-Command, or the Founder wearing the operations hat.
You are the one who translates vision into execution, manages people and systems, and bridges the gap between brilliant ideas and tangible results.
But let’s be honest, does it often feel like you’re…
- Overwhelmed by the “idea tornado” of a visionary CEO, often amplified by ADHD traits like rapid ideation and impulsivity?
- Grappling with your own ADHD wiring in a high-pressure operational role, trying to harness its strengths while managing its challenges?
- Battling role ambiguity and unclear decision-making authority?
- Feeling isolated, caught between the visionary and the team?
- Tasked with building foundational systems from scratch with limited resources?
- Stuck in reactive firefighting (“Fixer” mode) instead of proactive, strategic leadership?
- Battling Imposter Syndrome, wondering if you’re truly qualified for this seat?
If you’re nodding along, know this: You’re not crazy, you’re not alone, and there are anchored strategies to navigate these unique pressures.
Staying Stuck in "Fixer Mode" Isn't a Strategy
That feeling of being constantly behind is a warning sign. The cost of "figuring it out alone" is immense.
When you're always fighting fires, the truly strategic work gets pushed aside.
And if you’re navigating ADHD traits, either your CEO’s or your own, this reactive cycle feels ten times more intense. The visionary’s 'idea tornado' becomes a daily hurricane, and your own attempts to create structure can feel like a battle against your own wiring. It's a layer of complexity most leadership advice completely ignores.
This path doesn't just stall the growth of the company you care about;
it leads to personal burnout. But it doesn't have to be this way.

I've Been
Where You Are!
I've been in the operational trenches for over two decades – as a founder, a multi-time second-in-command, a COO, an expat entrepreneur, and a college professor teaching the next generation of builders. I’ve launched, grown, and exited businesses, experiencing the exhilarating highs and gut-wrenching lows.
My journey, including overcoming a significant physical adversity and navigating a later-in-life ADHD diagnosis, taught me the profound power of resilience, the necessity of adaptive systems, and the critical importance of an "Anchored" mindset. I learned that true strength isn't about doing everything yourself but building the systems, stability, and structure that allows vision to take flight sustainably.
I created Anchored For Growth, my Executive & Operations Leadership Coaching services, because I saw too many brilliant leaders struggling with the same challenges I faced – ambiguity, overwhelm, the "hero complex," and a lack of resources tailored to the unique pressures of early-stage companies.
My mission is to provide you with the map, the tools, and the mindset shifts I wish I'd had.
