Business Professional Development that Builds Confident Leaders
Use the L.E.A.D. and P.A.C.E. frameworks to make better decisions, communicate with executives, and deliver results, without burnout.
Business Professional Development for Emerging Leaders
At L.E.A.D. With P.A.C.E., we help early-to-mid career professionals achieve their business professional development goals with two proven frameworks: L.E.A.D. (Listen, Empower, Advance, Deliver) and P.A.C.E. (Prioritize, Amplify, Communicate, Elevate). You’ll gain practical leadership habits, stronger executive communication, and consistent delivery — the skills senior leaders reward.
What is the L.E.A.D. framework?
L.E.A.D. stands for Listen, Empower, Advance, and Deliver. It builds leadership confidence with habits executives trust: strategic listening, clear delegation, aligned priorities, and reliable results. It’s designed for professionals growing into senior roles.
What is the P.A.C.E. system?
P.A.C.E. means Prioritize, Amplify, Communicate, Elevate — a simple weekly rhythm to focus on high-impact work, communicate progress clearly, and elevate outcomes without burnout.
What’s the Difference Between L.E.A.D. and P.A.C.E.?
Use L.E.A.D. to step into leadership. Use P.A.C.E. to lead effectively at scale.
What results can I expect?
- Progress toward promotion with visible wins
- Faster, clearer decisions under pressure
- Stronger executive communication and trust
- Effective delegation and team momentum
- Better work-life balance while you advance

“Clearly, ITCS Hoover could step into any situation and take charge. Therefore, he is a winner, and our Navy needs his leadership.” – ★★★★★
As a retired Navy Senior Chief with over 30 years in IT, including a CCIE certification, I’ve led teams through high-stakes challenges—from cyber inspections to crisis response in Afghanistan. One key moment was commanding a team during a network outage; quick decisions saved critical operations. This inspired my L.E.A.D. (Listen, Empower, Advance, Deliver) and P.A.C.E. (Prioritize, Amplify, Communicate, Elevate) frameworks.
Now, as a Strategic IT Advisor helping organizations optimize technology leadership, I bridge the gap between technical expertise and executive strategy. I coach mid-career IT professionals to master decisions, boost productivity, and accelerate growth without burnout—the same skills I bring to corporate advisory work.
If you’re ready to transform your IT leadership or explore strategic technology optimization for your organization, start with my free blueprint or coaching.
