I help companies prevent what employees pay me to recover from.

For 18 years I worked inside HSBC, Google, Accenture, and Cisco. Then I became a trauma therapist, and the casualties of untrained managers started landing in my chair. UNLOOPED is the way out of that loop: new manager training and leadership programs built on clinical science, not management folklore. Not a training. A shift in how your managers think, decide, and hold up under pressure.

Training that turns leaders into the retention strategy.

Every UNLOOPED program runs on two engines: WATCH™, my framework for leading under pressure, and Metaction™, my method for turning insight into behavior that survives a stressful Tuesday. Both come from the same place — years of treating what happens to teams when managers never learned either.

Outcomes you can measure

Most workplace mental health damage is downstream of one thing: managers who were never trained. Fix that, and the numbers below move.

Reduced burnout risk across people-leader populations

Increased retention of high-performing employees

Improved leadership communication under pressure

Stronger psychological safety scores in engagement surveys

Faster manager response to early disengagement signals

Measurable empathy benchmarks tied to performance reviews

Your newest managers are your biggest unmanaged risk. And it's fixable.
