Discover your capacity for growth and change.
Powerful breakthroughs
for leaders
As an executive coach for organizational leaders, I help executives and other leaders engage in the self-work needed to create a successful, thriving work life. For my clients, leadership isn’t simply about leading a team — it’s becoming a more fully developed version of themselves so they can build momentum within their companies and create relationships that matter. With an evidence-based, practical and direct approach, I combine science, personality assessment and communication to discover your goals and help you carry out new ways of thinking and being for a happier, more effective you.
My Approach
Transform from within.
Gain confidence. Create impact.
As a corporate VP and Chief People Officer experienced in creating a vibrant work culture, it was my job to cultivate a work environment that brings out the best in people. I’ve seen firsthand the obstacles that many talented leaders and executives face, and that’s why I offer coaching as an effective intervention for those who are ready for change.
Working with both corporations and individuals, my services focus on opening the line of communication, understanding the problems, and helping you find and execute on solutions. Interpersonal conflict resolution is a strong suit of mine but so is simply helping you find the right words to have difficult conversations with colleagues and/or direct reports. Because of my background in organizational development and culture creation, don’t be surprised if our work together results in your ability to foster better relationships with your team and more positivity in the general work environment you oversee.
Beginning with needs assessment interviews and personality-style assessments like the Enneagram or MBTI, my approach is evidence-based. I establish key themes through colleague feedback via confidential interviews which guide our work so we can discover which areas need to be addressed and ensure that we meet your unique objectives. With these factors in mind, I build a custom coaching program that is entirely geared towards what you need to grow and thrive as a leader.
With equal parts candor and empathy, you’ll discover methods of change and personal growth in a supportive environment. Although I am always direct with feedback, I somehow am able to convey the challenging material in a way that you can really hear and accept. From there, I will support you while you acquire new skills and evolve your leadership capabilities.
What I do
Now is your time to become a better leader.
Success as a leader is not as simple as imitating others who lead. It depends on your ability to become more of who you truly are and bringing that self to work. Receiving coaching takes courage, but it results in a life that is ultimately happier and more successful because it is truly your life with you at your very best.
As a coach and consultant, I’m practical in how I solve problems. Direct but supportive, my belief that our brains at any age are wired for change — and the science that supports it — underpins our work together, which is guided by connection, support, intention and collaboration. Through an in-depth look at your personality, beliefs and background, we discover methods for change that correlate to improved performance at work and a more fulfilled work life.
Coaching
Coaching is a profound opportunity for leaders to gain insight, identify blind spots and reframe limiting beliefs with a nonjudgmental guide. Practical and full of candor, my approach is direct but compassionate, inspired by the back-and-forth of dialogue which leads us to greater insights that power your growth. As your coach, I’m your advocate, here to help you feel seen, heard and directed towards opportunities for growth and change so you can experience greater success, meaning and contentment at work.
Conflict resolution
Some conflicts in the workplace are simply too difficult to resolve without a third party. As an executive coach with significant experience helping others in conflict, I help organizations and individuals resolve even the most challenging conflicts through coaching and facilitated conversation so both parties get the support they need to confront truths, understand the impact their conflict is having on their team, see their actions from another point of view and come to a resolution that is satisfying for all parties.
Consulting
Sometimes in my coaching role, clients ask me to put on my consulting hat and help with direct conversation in my areas of expertise which include human resources, talent management, organizational development and sales. As a former executive, I will bring my 30+ years of experience to the table to help you, your team and your company achieve desired goals.
Culture Change and Team Building
Simply stated, culture is the most powerful lever for increasing organizational effectiveness. My experience as Chief People Officer in helping a 3,000-person organization reduce turnover to half of the industry average has been of value to many of my clients seeking to refine their culture and build a more effective environment with happier employees.
Custom Workshops
In addition to coaching, I am an experienced facilitator who delivers customized team building and leadership development workshops in one-half day, one-day and two-day formats. I facilitate workshops and corporate retreats that are very engaging and move your team or company forward.
