Professor | Writer | Strategist
I’m a professor, writer, and strategist focused on personal and organizational clarity and leadership inside complex systems.For more than two decades, I’ve examined how communication shapes judgment and decision-making in healthcare, education, and business.Across systems, groups, and individuals, the through-line has remained the same: clarity matters. When people are oriented to themselves first, they lead—and act—with greater coherence, especially under pressure.My ongoing writing lives on Unfold where I explore clarity, transition, leadership, and orientation through long-form essays.This site serves as a home base for materials connected to my forthcoming book, Lead Yourself First (Wolf Media Group, May 2026), including the Leadership Compass framework introduced in the book. The framework offers a way of orienting to yourself inside systems—clarifying how you decide and how you act when the path forward isn’t obvious.If you’d like to receive the Leadership Compass and related materials by email, you can do so here.
