Get access nowDear Manager,
You want to drive results, and there’s constant pressure everywhere.
But you’ve also survived toxic leadership and vowed to never become that boss.
So now you’re stuck in the middle, trying to choose between being the “nice” manager or the one that gets results.
And somehow, you’re nearing burnout and still feel like you’re failing everyone…
Well, I’m here to help!
Empathy and performance are not opposites. You can have both, and I’ve done it myself.
In my last corporate role, I built and led a high performance team where everyone felt supported. My team retention was 3x the company average, and 78% of my team got promoted.
But it’s not always straightforward…
The dynamic between performance and empathy varies in different situations. Finding the balance requires some judgement and decision-making.
Lucky for you, I’ve distilled the mental model that helped me make consistent, values-driven decisions into a practical, repeatable framework, the Performance-Empathy Balance™ (or PEB™) Model. And that’s what I’m sharing with you here.
So, if you’re ready to lead with both impact and empathy, let’s get started!
What makes this course different?
Focuses on balance
Most leadership advice obsesses over performance or mentions the importance of empathy, whereas PEB™ is a first-of-its-kind framework designed specifically to help you find the balance.
Relevant and practical
Every lesson is rooted in real-world leadership scenarios, no abstract theories or fluffy hypotheticals, so you can apply what you learn directly to the situations you’re actually facing.
Accounts for nuance
Real leadership is complicated. Instead of just giving you tactics, this course gives you a structured way to think through complex situations, evaluate trade-offs, and make values-driven decisions.
Accessible for all
Flexible, self-paced, and affordable, this course brings leadership development to anyone ready to grow, not just those with large budgets.
What you get:
- Flexible, self-paced video lessons (11 lessons, ~1 hour in total)
- A proprietary framework to guide decision-making
- Deep dives into real-life examples: managing underperformance, balancing priorities, leading cross-functionally
- Tools and sample language for better execution
- Comment-based community for discussion and feedback

I’ve spent over a decade leading teams and delivering results in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, from luxury fashion to DTC startups. Being a good leader has been a priority throughout my career, having observed the huge difference between amazing and ineffective leadership and vowing to never be the reason my team goes to therapy.
