Our Why – Bridging the Gap in Women’s Leadership

From the top down, even in companies there believe in equity, we often see the same pattern: few women in senior roles, attrition of high-potential women, and stagnation in mid-management ranks. The reason isn’t capacity – it’s lack of clear pathways.

True North Leadership was born from my own experience: I had a leader who intentionally created a path forward for me, and I realized how rare that is. I founded this company to be the lever that creates those pathways in other organizations, especially here in Minnesota, where I believe we have the talent, but not always the system.

I bring an operational background and deep experience coaching high-value leaders, even those reluctant to change, by tapping into what motivates them: legacy, impact, influence. I help uncover the internal and systemic blocks that stop promotion of women and coach leaders to dismantle them through working with the leader and the women in their team on parallel paths.

My ambition is that when someone looks at a talent org chart in 10 years, they will see a women at every layer and wonder “how did they do that so well?”
