Vertical Growth

Leadership & Team Development Program

I am a Certified Partner for the Vertical Growth program for leaders and teams, developed by The Mindful Leader. The program is the culmination of over 30 years of experience in leadership development and consistently delivers personal transformation, sustainable culture change, and increased business results.


It is the perfect match for my own experience in culture change, values, growth mindset, mindfulness, and shadow work (depth psychology), in addition to my 14 years in corporate leadership at Microsoft.

The Triple Goal

Vertical Growth targets 3 core areas of the organization, which The Mindful Leader calls the triple goal. The key to its success is in helping leaders overcome unconscious behavior patterns that are preventing the next leap in their team's performance. These changes are diagnosed, supported, and made to last over time with multi-touchpoint feedback/assessment and repeatable learning rituals.

1. Performance

Up the game on your ability to deliver on your vision. Reduce waste, increase quality and deliver higher returns to your stakeholders.

2. Pace of Learning

Develop a culture that sustainably and effortlessly disrupts itself, where fast and deep learning become a part of your DNA.

3. Joy at Work

Engage hearts and minds. Create a workplace that is a net positive on wellbeing and belonging. A workplace that literally builds joy.
