Hi, I'm M.
I'm completing a Master's in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University, with a deep interest in how our psychological patterns show up at work - in how we delegate, communicate, lead, and conflict. I hold an MBA and PMP certification, and I teach project management at the college level.
My corporate background spans engineering, IT, field operations, and sales - often on the same project. One of those projects involved launching a first-to-market product from the ground up and coordinating nearly 100 people across nearly every department in the company. It's the kind of experience that makes the archetypes very obvious, very fast.
A lot of assessments throw a label at you and call it insight. Lead Insight EQ is built on the idea that understanding your pattern is only useful if it connects to what you actually do on Monday. Every result here is grounded in real psychology - translated into plain language, designed to be specific to how you work, and built to be acted on.
No jargon. No cold clinical printouts. No $500 coach required to interpret your results.
I spent more than a decade managing cross-functional teams at a major media and technology company - the kind of work where you're coordinating engineers, field operations, IT, and sales teams, all moving in different directions, all convinced their problem is the most urgent one in the room.
I was good at it. And I watched a lot of it go sideways in very predictable ways.
The person who got so deep into the details that nothing shipped. The manager who treated every obstacle like a five-alarm emergency - real fires and imaginary ones getting equal panic. The Connector everyone loved, who was on every project, and drowning in all of them. I recognized every pattern because I'd worked alongside each one. And because I'm a Strategist myself - someone who instinctively zooms out to the long view - I had a front-row seat to how different styles collide under pressure.
I kept looking for a tool that could clearly name what I was seeing so I could actually do something about it. Most professional assessments are expensive, locked behind HR processes, or so clinical that they read like lab results without a doctor present. None of them were built for the person who just wants to understand themselves at work - and then change something by Monday.
That gap is why I built Lead Insight EQ.
