Like you, the leaders I have coached were looking to move out of their comfort zone, explore, challenge the status quo, develop into their next role, make a transition or journey into a host of other possibilities. Coaching allows us to break down barriers and move forward.

Bio

I bring 30 years of experience with IKEA holding Executive roles in Finance, Operations, and Leadership/Competence Development, with cultural experience working in The US, The Netherlands and Sweden and having had the privilege of coaching leaders from Fortune 500, governmental entities, and many more exciting organizations, enables me to help you realign with your values and achieve your wildest professional goals.

Like you, the leaders I have coached were looking to move out of their comfort zone, explore, challenge their status quo, and develop. Making people feel safe and comfortable to be themselves and being open about what makes them special and distinct as individuals comes from working with people from all levels of an organization. I had the honor and privilege to work with some amazing leaders who bestowed upon me the very best of leadership. Together we will “feed and water” your strengths, drives and motivations to grow people and business together.

FAQ
Describe your coaching style.
My style creates a trustful and nonjudgmental space to reflect, and be brave, vulnerable, and honest. Explore all your possibilities, believe in yourself, build upon your experiences, and be open to unlearning and relearning. My clients find me an authentic, curious, and enthusiastic coach. I am understanding and thoughtful, yet I say what needs to be said to help clients think and act to move forward.
How do you measure success with a client?
I measure success based on the goals and measurements the client sets. I have the client seek feedback from others and have them share feedback they receive from others organically. Having the client discuss with the leader during 1-2-1Assessments (either internal or external)Paying attention to client's approach, presence, and growth
What is your coaching superpower?
Holding space (uncomfortable silence) for the client to have self discovery.
Who is your ideal client and why?
My ideal client is a leader who is seeking to become the best version of themselves; is someone who may be seeking a higher quality of life, reduced job stress, stronger workplace bonds, enhanced workplace performance, stronger work-life balance, or eliminating burnout. One or all leading to increased happiness at work, at home, and in life. My ideal client is open, curious, and willing to explore. Why? A client must be open to coaching, a willing participant on a journey, rather than a leader being sent to be “fixed”. They may not know what they seek or feel they have lost, but they are willing to explore.
