Work With

Three ways to engage, one through-line

I Whether you’re an entrepreneur-caregiver, a business or higher ed leader, or an EdTech organization - the work starts with where you are and moves toward where you’re going.

Entrepreneur-Caregivers

Entrepreneur Sandwich™ Coaching

Service 1: 1:1 Coaching

Private sessions built around your sandwich generation reality. We work through the ADVANCE Framework™ together — assessing where you are, defining what you need, and building a plan that accounts for your caregiving responsibilities alongside your business.

Service 2: Group Coaching

Cohort-based support with peers navigating the same terrain. You are not the only entrepreneur managing a business and a parent at the same time — and this group will prove it.

Service 3: Skool Community

Join The Entrepreneur Sandwich™ community — ongoing peer support, resources, and connection with others in the sandwich generation.


Business & Higher Ed Leaders

ADVANCE Coaching™

Service 1: Business Coaching

You know your field. What you need is strategic clarity oon where to take it next. I work with business owners and executives who are done with generic frameworks and ready for strategy that fits their specific situation - market, model, and moment.

Service 2: Higher Ed Expert Coaching

You have built your expertise inside an institution. Now you want to build influence beyond it - through speaking, writing, consulting, or a practice of your own. I have been on both sides of that wall, and I can help you navigate the crossing.

Institutions & Vendors

For EdTech vendors and businesses looking to build or scale programs with institutions.

Service 1: Strategic Advisory Retainer

Ongoing strategic counsel for EdTech companies and institutions navigating transformation, market entry, or comple change. Built on 30+ years inside institutions including C-suite roles at R1 research universities.

Service 2: EdTech Leadership Strategy Day

An intensive focused day working through your specific EdTech challenge — from market positioning to institutional sales strategy to program architecture.

Service 3: Market Entry Advisory Project

For EdTech vendors entering or scaling within the education market. I know what institutions actually want from their EdTech partners — because I was on that side of the table for three decades.
