It can be lonely at the front of the pack
I’m Drake, and I like to help leaders.
As great as it is, being a leader can also feel lonely. Whether you’re the top rung of the ladder, at the front of the pack, or even the first among equals - it pays to have someone to talk to. In fact, people pay me to do just that.
I believe that it’s possible to lead teams and organizations in ways that instill integrity and worth in your people. Actually, I believe it’s the best way to lead.
And it all comes down to relationships.
To help you,
I need to know you.
The power of a good Gut Check…
The best decisions don't come from spreadsheets alone. They come from leaders who understand their people, their mission, and the impact of every choice they make.
That's where I come in.
I invest in knowing you and your organization—not just your goals, but how you think, what you value, and what kind of leader you want to be. That understanding turns me from an outside consultant into a trusted thought partner.
When difficult decisions arise, I'll ask the questions others won't. I'll challenge assumptions, pressure-test ideas, and give you an honest gut check.
Because here's what I've learned: most leaders already know the right direction. They just need someone they trust to cut through the noise, expose blind spots, and bring them back to what matters most.
Strong cultures and strong businesses aren't built by choosing between people and performance. They're built by leaders who recognize that investing in people is one of the smartest business decisions they can make.
My job is to help you make decisions that strengthen both.
So, What's My Background?
Looking for an MBA, an executive coaching certification, or a degree in organizational psychology?
I don't have those.
What I do have is a deep understanding of people and experience helping leaders navigate the messy realities of managing them.
I've consulted with organizations in marketing, higher education, camps and conferences, state government, and religious nonprofits. My academic background is in sociology and leadership development, with graduate work in higher education administration.
Over the past four years, I've helped leaders navigate conflict, coach employee performance, strengthen management practices, and guide organizational change. My work centers on emotional intelligence, communication, sound judgment, and practical leadership—always with the goal of helping people and organizations perform at their best.
Because at the end of the day, organizations don't succeed because they have the perfect org chart or the latest management framework. They succeed because people make good decisions, work well together, and lead with clarity.
Let’s chat.
Thirty minutes can tell us a lot; probably enough to tell us if we’ll work well together.
And if either of us decide it’s not going to be a match - no worries!
