I still remember my first day as a shift supervisor—nervous, excited, determined. That day sparked a journey that has now led me to launch my own coaching and consulting practice. Over 20 years in manufacturing leadership, including 9 as a Plant Manager, taught me that integrity, stewardship, and putting people first are what sustain performance. I was never the loudest leader, but leading quietly earned trust, partnership, and results. One experience stays with me: stepping into a leadership role at a plant under real pressure. I realized I didn’t need to have all the answers—I needed to create space for my team to bring theirs. By listening, asking the right questions, and working through struggles together, we turned things around. That’s the essence of coaching in manufacturing: not providing easy answers, but being the partner who helps leaders uncover their own—and find the confidence to lead through the storm. This is why I’ve launched 𝗟𝗶𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. My mission is to support manufacturing leaders in the challenges I once faced: 🔸 Transitioning from engineer to manager 🔸 Building strong successor pipelines 🔸 Raising engagement on the shop floor 🔸 Turning leadership training into measurable results If you’re building your leadership bench—or if you’re a leader navigating these challenges—I’d love to connect.
