You Avoid the Conversation
You know there's a performance issue, but you keep putting off "the talk" because you're not sure how to approach it without damaging the relationship.
Nothing Really Changes
You have the conversation, but weeks later you're still seeing the same performance issues. The cycle continues, and your frustration grows.
You Wing it Every Time
 You approach each performance conversation differently, hoping something will stick. But without a framework, you're shooting in the dark.

Hi! I'm Claire.Â
I've spent nearly 30 years with my sleeves rolled up, working alongside leaders who want to make a real difference. I've seen brilliant people get stuck, watched talented teams fall apart, and helped transform both by using tools and frameworks focused on creating connection, accountability and clarity.
My background is in communication and organizational development, but my real expertise comes from sitting in countless conference rooms, leading teams through the ups and downs of work life, and figuring out what actually works when the pressure is on.
I believe every leader can unleash the potential of their team- they just need the right tools, the right mindset, and someone who believes in them. That's where I come in.

Stop Procrastinating:Â There's a Better Way
What if you could transform every performance conversation from a dreaded confrontation into a constructive collaboration? What if your employees thanked you for the clarity instead of resenting the feedback?
