Throughout my career, I’ve worked with countless individuals from diverse organizations and equipped them with confidence. Whether it was interviewing individuals during my years in broadcast journalism, training farmers and leaders to navigate high-scrutiny national network interviews or preparing organizational and sales leaders to speak with intention, one observation kept surfacing over and over again.

Even the most experienced, highly capable professionals struggled with navigating stress responses real-time. The best messaging, most extensive preparation and years of experience didn’t matter in those moments — individuals would still experience internal stress responses that influenced external perception.

That’s what led me to develop the Pressure-Proof Method™. It’s a practical approach that helps professionals recognize and navigate their stress responses in real time, so they can stay steady, think clearly and perform best when it matters most.

I bring that lens into all of my work — whether I’m preparing messaging for complex organizations, leading a workshop or working individually with highly capable professionals.

Based in Des Moines, I work with organizations across the Midwest and beyond.
