Cognitive Psychologist & Executive Coach

I coach senior executives who seek to pivot their careers or the organizations they lead.

​

Before launching my coaching business, I directed the Mandel Leadership Institute in Jerusalem for over a decade. I’ve been a visiting professor at The George Washington University, Stanford University and the University of Washington. I grew up in London and hold masters’ degrees in Philosophy and Psychology from Cambridge and a doctorate in the Psychology of Education from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. 

​

I research how people interpret data, justify beliefs and form identities; and write about how these topics impact everyday life.

Coaching & Consulting

 

Drawing on twenty-five years’ experience as an institution-builder and researcher, I provide individual coaching to senior executives and consultation services to organizations.

 

Clients include senior staff of government ministries; leaders of community and religious organizations; college administrators; heads of university departments and research centers; and high-tech executives.
