Lift the Weight of Leadership.

Replace reactive patterns with skillful, grounded responses.

For LTC leaders ready to reclaim their energy and sense of purpose.

Turn the unspoken stress that wakes you at 3 am into calm, confident decisions.

By identifying the patterns that drain your spirit and cloud your mission focus, we break cycles of reactivity that keep you trapped in survival mode. Together, we'll develop sustainable leadership practices that protect what matters most—your well-being, your team's trust, and the care values that drew you to this work.

You'll emerge as a stronger, more skillful leader who guides your team through complex challenges with clarity and confidence.

Your dedication is unquestionable, but that dedication comes with a cost.

Your 3 AM anxiety isn't random.

Each night, your mind replays the day’s difficult decisions.

Did you handle that family complaint correctly?

How will you address tomorrow's managers’ meeting?

What about the upcoming compliance inspection?

While you project calm confidence to your team, internally, you're carrying the weight of countless lives and decisions. 

And the most challenging part? 

The constant cycle of reactive leadership keeps you from the strategic, mission-focused work that first called you to this profession.

The greatest obstacle to your effectiveness isn't the external pressure; it’s your reactive responses that create exhausting leadership cycles.

Those patterns manifest as:

• Compulsively checking reports and emails during personal time

• Hours spent second-guessing decisions after feedback

• Defensive reactions to team questions about direction

• The struggle to step away even when personal needs are pressing

Break the Cycle of Reactive Leadership

I leverage the pattern-recognition framework of the ATA Enneagram model to uncover unconscious patterns driving your leadership. This insightful personality framework illuminates both your automatic reactions under pressure and the underlying motivations that create these recurring patterns, including those unspoken stresses that disrupt your sleep. Through pattern recognition, we uncover your core motivations and habitual responses to workplace pressures. By recognizing these automatic patterns specific to your Instinctual Bias and Enneagram type, you gain the awareness needed to interrupt reactive cycles before they take hold.

The self-understanding you gain enables you to shift from automatic reactions to deliberate choices, creating leadership responses that better serve your team and organization. With these new perspectives and practices in place, you can implement the specific leadership improvements outlined below.

My approach focuses on turning reactive patterns into skillful responses, helping you:

• Make decisions from a place of calm confidence rather than a compulsive reaction

• Build genuine trust with staff, residents, and families

• Create sustainable systems that don't depend solely on your presence

• Move from constant firefighting to strategic leadership

• Develop innovative solutions to critical HHR challenges

• Support your team through post-pandemic burnout and resilience challenges

• Align your leadership actions with the care values that brought you to this work
