From Healthcare to Corporate: A Journey of Growth

My Story: My career journey wasn't typical. I spent over 20 years in healthcare, building programs and learning how to navigate complex systems. When I transitioned to corporate supply chain leadership, I had to figure out how to translate everything I'd learned into a completely different world.

What I Discovered: I learned that working hard isn't always enough - you need strategy. You need to know how to position yourself, how to speak up in meetings, and how to turn your expertise into influence.

The Real Challenge: I kept seeing talented professionals who were brilliant at their jobs but struggling to break through to the next level. They had the skills, the experience, and the dedication, but they needed someone who understood their challenges and could help them navigate the unspoken rules of career advancement.

Why I Do This Work: I founded The Todd Collective because I believe in helping others succeed. I've been in those rooms, I've made those transitions, and I've learned what works. Now I want to share those strategies with professionals who are ready to step into their potential and advance their careers with intention and authenticity.

Real Experience in Both Worlds

  • Healthcare Foundation

    My 20+ years in healthcare taught me how to build programs from concept to implementation, manage diverse teams, and navigate complex regulatory environments. I learned to balance quality outcomes with operational efficiency—skills that are essential in any leadership role.

  • Corporate Leadership

    My transition to corporate supply chain leadership, specifically in procurement and vendor management, showed me how strategic thinking translates across industries. The same principles that worked in healthcare program development proved invaluable in corporate environments.

  • Coaching Philosophy

    I believe in sharing what actually works. My coaching is based on strategies I've personally tested and refined throughout my career. I focus on practical approaches that you can implement in your current role while preparing for your next opportunity.
