I help founder-led companies protect and operationalize who they are so decisions, culture, and messaging stay aligned as they grow or sell.

Grow the company you envisioned. 
Protect what makes it exceptional.                

let's start a conversationExplore the Identity System™

For nearly three decades, I’ve worked with founders and leaders to name and protect the identity at the center of their companies. Across industries, the pattern is the same: leadership becomes exhausting when the mission and values that once guided everything begin to drift.

Most founders come to me when they want to guard against that drift —when they’re growing or preparing to sell and they want to ensure the company they built endures. They’ve shaped a strong identity, but too much of it lives in their head, not inside the organization.

They know growth without clarity creates erosion.
Hiring without shared language creates fracture.
And a founder’s intent, left unspoken, gets replaced by noise and assumptions.

That’s why I built the Identity System™, a disciplined, inside-out approach that helps founder-led companies grow and sell without losing the mission, values, or calling that built their company in the first place. 

My work is so much more than branding or culture decks.

It’s giving you the structure and language to build a company that stays true, aligned, and whole — long after you’ve stepped out of the room.

The Identity System™

LEARN HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

A two-part process that clarifies who you are and ensures that identity guides how you grow.

Hi, I'm Lindsay



Before we can protect or scale your identity, we have to name it.

Over 5 weeks, we uncover:

The beliefs and worldview that shape your work

The internal logic behind your decisions

The patterns, values, and differentiators that make your company distinct

How your identity shows up (or doesn’t) across your team and clients

Outcome: A complete, clearly articulated identity foundation that reflects the truth of who you are.






Once we’ve extracted your identity, we build the operating system that protects it.

Delivered in four modules:

Identity Framework — core beliefs, values, and principles

Culture Architecture — norms, behaviors, and rituals that operationalize identity

Strategic Narrative — a clear narrative spine for communication, marketing campaigns and alignment 

Continuity Blueprint — how to protect identity through growth, hiring, or transition

Includes an Activation Workshop for your leadership team.

Outcome: A usable Identity Operating System — practical, repeatable, and built to guide decision-making, culture, and communication.

Protect what makes your company exceptional

As your advisor and strategist, I don't use one-size-fits-all approaches to burn and churn out clients.

I'm relationships-first because I believe that the best results only come from taking the time to truly connect who you are to what you do. 

I work with a small number of clients each year, and if you'd like to see what working together might look like, jump on my calendar and let's talk.
