Gradient Associates Consulting and Coaching

With more than two decades of hands-on experience with innovative organizations and technology and science professionals in the United States, Europe, and Asia, I serve organizations and individuals confronting the need to achieve significant change - find new directions, master new circumstances, acquire new capabilities or skills, discover (or rediscover) passion and purpose.

• Professional coaching for executives, managers, and science and technology principals in the workplace improves their effectiveness both as individuals and as managers and leaders of innovative organizations.  They learn not only how to meet the challenge at hand, but also how to sustain new skills and competencies going forward, to the long term benefit of both themselves and the people around them.


• Life coaching supports the challenge to change outside of the current workplace.  Even the most intelligent, educated, and professionally successful among us can reach a point where intellect and force of will no longer achieve the desired results.  Challenges may include career burnout, a major career transition, achieving balance between career and family, or simply regaining a sense of passion and purpose that has somehow been lost.

• Consulting services target teams and larger organizations whose principal long term critical success factor lies in the ability to create and introduce new capabilities and solutions. I help organizations set a meaningful direction when they are confronted with major dilemmas or find themselves bogged down in a swamp of complexity, ambiguity, and uncertainty.  I enable them to discover unseen possibilities, recognize vulnerabilities and risks, exploit existing resources and competencies, and identify and close gaps.  This leads to an actionable path forward.
