Redefining Leadership

Leadership Is Broken. I Know We Can Do Better.

The leaders who succeed now aren't the loudest in the room, they are the clearest.

They treat people like adults.

They create agreements instead of assumptions.

They build cultures where humans can actually thrive.

Navigating This New Era of Leadership

Leadership is evolving. Fast.

AI is removing the busywork. Systems are speeding up. Visibility is instant. Pressure is constant. People expect more and they should.

The leaders who will thrive now are the ones who know how to:

  • Lead humans, not tasks

  • Create psychological + energetic safety

  • Replace assumptions with agreements

  • Set context instead of rules

  • Empower decision-makers at every level

  • Coach instead of control

  • Think critically and creatively (with AI as a partner — not a replacement)

Most leaders were never taught this. That's where I come in.

How We Can Work Together

  • EXECUTIVE & LEADERSHIP COACHING

    For founders, executives, and senior leaders who want to lead with clarity, trust, and intention not pressure, fear, or burnout.

    Together, we reshape how you:

    • Communicate

    • Align others

    • Make strategic decisions

    • Regulate your energy

    • Lead with both rigor and humanity

    • Build cultures where people perform because they feel trusted

    You'll become a leader people want to follow not because they have to, but because they're inspired to.

  • TEAM WORKSHOPS & LEADERSHIP LABS

    For teams who are stuck in confusion, misalignment, stress, or chronic rework.

    In these sessions, we stop pretending everything is fine and get honest about:

    • What's working

    • What's not

    • What assumptions need to die

    • What agreements need to be created

    • How the team actually wants to operate

    Workshops blend systems thinking, human behavior, energy leadership, psychology, and practical tools teams can use immediately.

    Teams leave with clarity, ownership, and shared language not more theory.

  • SPEAKING & KEYNOTES

    Talks for leadership teams, summits, offsites, and organizations ready to challenge the status quo.

    Topics include:

    • Leadership in the Age of AI

    • Agreements vs. Expectations (the missing lever in modern leadership)

    • The Energetics of High-Performance Teams

    • How to Lead Humans Like Adults

    • The New Leadership Advantage: Clarity + Creativity

    • Why Empathy, Trust, and Critical Thinking Are Non-Negotiable

    Every talk is grounded, real, actionable, and built from lived experience not fluff.

  • ENTERPRISE PROGRAM SUPPORT

    When organizations face high-stakes transformations, I partner through Bump This Fist to stabilize chaos, align teams, and restore executive visibility.

    Clients bring us in when:

    • They've lost clarity

    • Deadlines are at risk

    • Leadership confidence is low

    • Teams are fragmented

    • Tools aren't aligned

    • Execution is slipping

    We build structure, reporting, governance, workflow architecture, and high-trust delivery environments that return organizations to stability and momentum.

My Frameworks

  • The Agreement Method™

    Most leaders operate from assumptions: "I thought you meant…" "I assumed you knew…" "I expected you to…"

    This destroys trust, clarity, and execution.

    The Agreement Method™ transforms this by helping leaders:

    • Make clear requests

    • Establish shared commitments

    • Align on expectations

    • Close loops

    • Build psychological + operational safety

    • Lead with responsibility instead of control

    This is the missing blueprint for modern leadership.

  • Action The Idea™

    Designed for teams who:

    • Have ideas but no clarity

    • Say yes to everything

    • Are drowning in context switching

    • Burn out executing someone else's ungrounded vision

    • Need structure without rigidity

    Participants learn how to:

    • Prioritize based on "why this, why now"

    • Break vision into aligned steps

    • Build agreements (not vague goals)

    • Maintain energy + momentum

    • Communicate clearly so nothing falls through cracks

    • Execute without burning out

    It's the execution framework for humans not robots.

About Bethany

Leadership Architect. Executive Coach. Systems Thinker. Rebel Human.

I never planned on being in corporate.

In my 20s, I was anti-system, anti-hierarchy, anti-capitalist — completely uninterested in climbing ladders or playing by old rules.

And yet here I am — helping Fortune 100 leaders, billion-dollar organizations, and global teams redefine how leadership works.

Because here's the truth:

The closer I got to the inside, the more clearly I saw how badly leadership needed to change.

After 25+ years leading operations, production, and global programs for brands like ESPN, ABC (Emmy-nominated campaigns), Sony, Comcast, Estée Lauder Companies, Clinique, AVEDA, Samsung, and Timberland...

...I realized the same thing in every environment:

People don't need to be controlled. They need to be trusted. They don't need more pressure. They need clarity. They don't need another system. They need leadership that actually treats them like humans.

I'd been building teams that delivered impossible results without burning out. And I'd been doing it differently than everyone else around me.

My work integrates:

  • Neuroscience (Lisa Miller's Awakened Brain)

  • Energy leadership (iPEC's 7 Levels)

  • Systems thinking (Marty Kagan's Empowered, SAFe Agile)

  • Vedic meditation + spiritual intelligence

  • Operational rigor

  • Real-world experience leading under pressure

I'm here to help build the leaders this next era demands.

And yes — we can do better. We must do better. I plan to make sure of it.
