Flanigan Advisory works with women founders and senior leaders at moments when leadership asks for something more honest and integrated.
Leadership problems are rarely where people think they are.
I work with women founders and senior women leaders at moments when leadership becomes more personal—and more complex—than expected.
Often, what’s getting in the way is not a lack of skill, effort, or ambition. It’s internal misalignment: competing commitments, unspoken fears, inherited expectations, or subtle ways we undermine ourselves in order to stay safe, liked, or in control. These patterns are rarely visible from the inside, and they don’t resolve through strategy alone.
My role is to help surface what’s true, name what’s actually happening, and support the kind of internal clarity that makes courageous action possible. This work restores self-trust and congruence—so leadership no longer feels forced, performative, or at odds with who you are.
When leaders stop working against themselves, decisions simplify. Energy returns. And the organizations they are building become steadier, more intentional, and better able to hold growth.
I am a human-centered leadership advisor. My approach integrates leadership identity, strategy, and human systems.
I bring a combination of academic rigor and executive experience to this work, including a PhD in Organizational Communication, an MBA, and former Chief People Officer experience within a consulting environment. This background allows me to see patterns others miss and to work comfortably at both the individual and organizational level.
I do not offer formulas or quick fixes. Instead, I provide thoughtful partnership—asking precise questions, offering honest reflection, and helping leaders discern what is essential at each stage of growth.
Clients often describe our work together as clarifying, steadying, and quietly transformative. Not because it adds something new, but because it removes what no longer fits.
I work best with women who care deeply about how they lead, not just what they build—and who are ready to engage honestly with the complexity that leadership brings.
