Work With Me

PM coaching, ops consulting, and fractional leadership—with a human-centered twist.
If your projects are dragging, your team is out of sync, or your “process” is more vibes than system, I can help. I work with organizations and individuals who want to do great work without micromanaging, over-engineering, or burning people out.
This is the heart of Project Management for Humans—a people-first approach to getting things done. I bring practical structure, calm leadership, and a lot of real-world experience to help you build systems that support your team, not stress them out.
Project management coaching
PMs get thrown into the deep end all the time—and then expected to lead. I coach PMs who want to get better at the work and the people part: managing relationships, leading meetings, and setting expectations that stick.
You’ll get:
- Better team and stakeholder communication
- Sensible and easy-to-manage workflows
- More confidence as a leader
- And someone who’s been there to talk it all through
Operations & process consulting
When things feel messy, scattered, or stuck, I help teams identify the root cause and build processes that people actually use. Not theoretical models. Not someone else’s “proven framework.” Just a better way for your team to work.
(And yes—it’ll still be buttoned-up enough for your CEO.)
What we can tackle:
- Roles and team structure
- Project lifecycle design
- Internal comms + meeting strategy
- Collaboration across teams
- Tool sprawl cleanup and consolidation
Fractional leadership
Sometimes you don’t need a full-time Head of Ops or PM—you just need someone to steer the ship for a little while. I work as a fractional operations or project lead, offering strategic direction, structure, and stability while you scale or reset.
You’ll get:
- Strategic planning support
- Mentorship for your internal team
- Short-term leadership for long-term clarity
- A partner who knows how to calm the chaos
Workshops & keynotes
I lead custom workshops and speak at conferences about leadership, collaboration, and project management—with a mix of honesty, humor, and actual usefulness. If you're tired of buzzwords, let’s talk.
Popular sessions include:
- Project management for humans (not robots)
- Leading through ambiguity (and burnout)
- Collaboration without chaos
- How to run better 1:1s
Let’s make it work.
Whether you need coaching, a cleanup, or a calm, strategic voice in the room—I’m here to help.
