Leadership Advisory
for Critical Thinkers
Navigating Responsibility, Thoughts and Challenging Dynamics Personally and Professionally
THE CHALLENGES OF HIGH PERFORMING FOUNDERS/CEOs
I work with founders, CEOs, and leaders with the MCN™ (Metacognitive Neurotype) whose fast, complex minds drive success but can also lead to overthinking and self-sabotage. I help them gain control over their thinking, strengthen internal authority, and lead with clarity and steadiness at work and at home. When the mind is mastered, leadership, influence, and personal relationships stabilize naturally.
THE HIDDEN CRISIS IN
HIGH-PERFORMING TEAMS
Leaders have the additional challenge of managing teams. Your organization relies on brilliant employees with irreplaceable knowledge and skills. Yet their challenging interpersonal behaviors might create friction, and team fragmentation. You might be caught at a critical fork in the road: risk losing this valuable talent or continue tolerating the toxic environment they create. Neither option is acceptable for forward-thinking organizations committed to both innovation and healthy workplace culture.
FORKS IN THE ROAD SOME LEADERS FACE
Some of the forks in the road I help founders, entrepreneurs, and leaders navigate include strained personal dynamics, The RISK of DIVORCE, BURNOUT AND ADDICTION. Many are managing intense internal pressure while carrying responsibility for others, alongside complicated dynamics at work and at home. For those with ADD or OCD tendencies, this often includes racing thoughts, mental loops, and difficulty managing time and focus. My work helps them regain control of their thinking, stabilize their inner world, and make clear, grounded decisions without sacrificing their authority, relationships, or well-being.

Here’s what he has to say about his experience with Dr. Cleverly.
TEAM FRAGMENTATION?
When brilliant but difficult employees remain unchecked, the impact reverberates throughout your organization.
Team performance suffers as other team members modify their behavior to avoid conflict, limiting collaboration and creating inefficient workarounds.
Your best people start looking elsewhere, with top performers being three times more likely to seek new opportunities when forced to work with unchecked difficult personalities.
HR resources are strained, as these situations can consume up to 40% of HR professionals' time in constant conflict mediation rather than strategic initiatives.
Innovation stalls because teams become increasingly conflict-avoidant, limiting the creative collaboration necessary for breakthrough thinking.
The problem compounds over time, and without intervention, the situation typically deteriorates, with expanding impact on organizational culture.

"I have spent many years working across both corporate and nonprofit environments in fractional operations, strategy, and leadership development. In that time, it is rare to find someone who can so quickly and accurately identify neurotypes and immediately understand how those patterns shape both professional performance and personal relationships. Dr. Cleverly brings a level of insight that is fast, precise, and deeply grounded in integrity. She is conscientious in her approach, generous with her expertise, and consistently elevates the people she works with. Any organization with a bench of trusted experts would be fortunate to have her as part of it.

She not only understands these high performing, high intensity brain types, she has one herself, which is why she can guide others like her to exceptional levels of success.

What she does is rare, necessary, and long overdue in corporate culture.”

UNDERSTANDING THE DIVERGENT THINKING CONNECTION
Most employees are not intentionally creating problems. Their technical excellence often comes paired with neurodivergent thinking patterns that create both their exceptional abilities and their interpersonal challenges. Standard team-building approaches frequently fail because they don't address the fundamental differences in how these employees:
Process information and communication
Experience workplace social dynamics
Interpret feedback and direction
Manage emotional responses in professional settings
