Bootist Leadership®

What do "boots, 12 hugs and cupcakes" have to do with leadership and living an effective, joyful and congruent life? Everything if you ask me! Three of my favorite things, and not always what they seem, I’ve found them incredibly meaningful and helpful in supporting my private clients, our program participants, and myself in creating positive energy, great relationships, strong leadership, beautiful lives, and really good results – in business and in life.

If you're here, it's very likely that you've been pointed here by a fellow "Bootist" friend or colleague who wants to share something meaningful, effective and fun with you. Truth be told, we’ve just finished merging and redesigning our sites to reflect some of the more current changes we’ve undergone over the last 2 years. Having been in business since 2002, this work, and my philosophy, has grown and evolved quite a bit, getting its quirky and sentimental name, just last year! (See more on the about page) After years of trying to fit what I do into formal thirty second "elevator speeches" (blechhh) and more standard definitions of "corporate coaching" or other somewhat-canned-catch-all-job-descriptions, I finally gave up and gave it a name of its own: Bootism™.

Bootist Leadership® works. It’s fun and it’s effective and really the most important thing is that you’re true to yourself in practicing it – that you do it your way. Because you’re you – and no one else can top that! I believe in this work. I am grateful for it. And my hope is that you’ll find it helpful as well!
You can learn a whole more about it by cruising around this site, downloading the "7 Tenets" (on the right), or by buying your own copy of "The Little Book of Bootism." We’ve done our best to help you educate yourself about this work, see if it resonates for you, and to engage with us if it does.

A couple of things to know before you go...

"Boots, Hugs & Cupcakes" are all about using "congruent leadership, connection, energy, and joy" - intentionally - to create the best results possible in your life and organization, they’re just a part of Bootism, and they’re an important part.
The Little Book of Bootism is now available on our products page – grab yours – it’s just a fun non-formal read and will give you a much deeper understanding of Bootism.
I've just published a new resource paper on "10 things that stop good energy and leadership and how Bootism gets it going again" (you can get your copy, on me, by signing up right in the box on the right hand side of this page. See it?)

Thanks for coming!
Boots on,
