LEAD PRO
Meet Neal – Your Partner in Practical, People-Centered Leadership
Neal’s been called a *"Mover of Mountains"—*and for good reason. With over 35 years of experience leading, managing, consulting, and coaching, he’s helped organizations and leaders navigate the toughest challenges and come out stronger.
He’s led more than 25 teams across industries, rolled up his sleeves in high-pressure situations, and knows exactly what it feels like to be stuck in the weeds or constantly putting out fires. That’s why he’s passionate about helping leaders break the cycle and focus on what truly moves the needle.
Whether he's guiding a leadership team through a tough transition or coaching a manager out of overwhelm, Neal’s mission is the same: to empower clients to solve real problems, lead with focus, and create lasting impact.
After years of working with dysfunctional teams—where egos clashed, conflict went unresolved, and missions fell apart—Neal often walked away thinking, “If only they had focused on building people up and getting the work done, this could’ve been different.”
That conviction turned into a calling.
Neal founded LeadPro to help leaders create teams that actually function—where insight, trust, and accountability replace chaos, frustration, and burnout. Drawing from his own leadership journey, he offers leaders the tools and mindset to move beyond knee-jerk reactions and start showing up with intention and purpose.
Because to Neal, teams are where the work gets done—and leaders are responsible for how those teams operate. His mission is to help leaders wake up each morning not just reacting to fires but choosing to give their best to the people they lead.
Through coaching, team accelerator sessions, and consulting, Neal equips leaders to lead better—so their teams can thrive, and their organizations can grow.
Neal started LeadPro with one driving belief: It doesn’t have to be that way.
