Founder of the Place Setting Framework
Where the framework began…
I spent thirty years building people before I ever coached anyone. From prep cook to president of a division, and every rung in between. Sales teams. People. Years of it, long before I ever sat across from a leader as a coach.
None of that came from a textbook. It came from the table, the one my mother set every day of my childhood while she ran a Greek catering business and cared for aging parents in our home, all at once. She never called it leadership. She called it showing up. That table shaped me more than any role I've held since. I don't think she ever knew she was training a leader.
Today, I'm a Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder Centered Executive Leadership Coach and the creator of the Place Setting Framework, seven elements of leadership built from everything I learned sitting at my mother's table. This isn't about teaching leadership. It's about naming the one part of yours that's quietly working against you, and proving the shift through the people who watch you lead every day.
