Intentional, strategic advisement for individuals navigating meaningful decisions in wealth, connection, and legacy.

CONNECTION, ADVOCACY, AND ADVISEMENT

For that moment when the old definition of success no longer fits…

Red Thread consulting exists to help you choose what comes next.

You’re accomplished by every traditional metric, but the meaning it once offered no longer feels like enough. Now, you’re ready to redefine wealth, success, and legacy — on your own terms.

Advisory for pivotal moments

At pivotal moments, accomplished individuals and stewards of influence don’t need more advice – they need presence, perspective, and a guide they can trust.

This is not traditional coaching, consulting, or financial advice. It’s something more discerning, and more deeply human.

At Red Thread Consulting, I hold space for meaningful conversations through my four signature pillars:

REDEFINE WEALTH

An inquiry into wealth beyond numbers, redefining inherited definitions through choice and intention.

REIMAGINE SUCCESS

Beyond achievement and performance an exploration of authenticity and purpose in our lived experience.

Reconnect within

With the clarity to find it, the courage to name it, and the conviction to honor it.

RECLAIM LEGACY

Not what is left behind, but how you choose to live now and in the future.

Our Philosophy

A values-led approach to redefining wealth, success, and legacy.

Beneath every transition lies a deeper thread. A quiet, common theme that’s always been there. Your red thread. It’s the connection across past, present, & future. Between fate and conscious destiny.

What you’ve built and what you long for next. At Red Thread Consulting, I don’t ask you to abandon what you’ve built. I invite you to bring more of yourself into it.

Clarity Sessions

Clarity Sessions are 75min, one-on-one private advisory experiences designed to help you articulate what’s unfolding & move forward with intention. They offer thoughtful counsel for a decision point, a pivotal moment, or a quiet knowing that something needs to change.

The 12x12 Journey™

My signature offering inspired by the confined stall of a racehorse, the 12x12 Journey™ is a metaphor turned methodology—inviting individuals to recognize the box they’ve built around themselves and redesign it as a space for clarity, agency, and possibility.

Speaking & Engagements

Intentional conversations for thoughtful communities. With decades of experience supporting leaders through complexity, I bring grounded insight and depth to every space I hold.

Founder & Creator of Red Thread Consulting - The 12x12 Journey™

Red Thread Consulting didn’t begin in a boardroom. It emerged from a period of profound pause, deep reflection, and quiet clarity. After two decades in the financial industry as a wholesaler witnessing the lives, decisions, and legacies of others, I founded Red Thread Consulting with my signature offering, The 12x12 Journey™, at its heart.

This offers something more personal: a space for reflection, realignment, and values-based guidance. Today, I help others find, and follow, their own red thread—in their work, relationships, and legacy.

DEFINING: STEWARDSHIP

Stewardship is the act of holding with care, not merely owning with authority. It is more than management or responsibility; it is a way of being in relationship with what has been entrusted to us—wealth, influence, relationships, land, and legacy. True stewardship recognizes that nothing is fully ours, but that we are called to tend, preserve, and carry forward with integrity. At its heart, stewardship asks not only what do I hold, but how do I hold it—with strength, continuity, and the unseen choice to honor what matters most.

Redefine wealth. Redefine success. Reconnect within. Reclaim legacy.

You don’t have to do it the way it’s always been done. You get to choose what comes next.
