Bio

I bring passion and expertise to my work as a professional coach, author, facilitator, and life-long learner. My clients tell me they appreciate my ability to ask incisive questions in the context of my coaching as I assist them in their journey of self-discovery. For more than 20 years, I have worked as a Learning, Development, and Talent Management professional designing and facilitating leadership and skills/behavior training in companies large and small. As an ICF-accredited coach with multiple coaching certifications, I provide tangible value to clients from the frontline to the C-Suite. Industries I have successfully coached in and implemented company-wide learning strategies in include SaaS, IT, financial services, healthcare, background screening, and banking/card processing.

FAQ
Describe your coaching style.
Coaching is a collaborative process. We make the coaching journey together as I ask incisive questions to help clients discover their talents to overcome adversity and build on current strengths. I bring my years of experience in the business world in various roles and industries into my coaching. That means clients benefit from diverse expertise combined with a classic coaching experience. As I tell my clients, my job is to challenge perceptions and beliefs to help achieve breakthroughs. All that experience on my part doesn't mean I have all the answers, it just means I've made most (maybe all!) of the mistakes - and have learned from them.
How do you measure success with a client?
Whether they're reaching their goals and when they express that our conversations are helping them move forward. I strive to provide a supportive environment for coaching so that when a client is challenged, they feel comfortable being vulnerable and are open to new ideas. That's the most satisfying part of the job of being a coach!
What is your coaching superpower?
My coaching superpower is asking questions that provoke reflection and lead to breakthroughs.
Who is your ideal client and why?
My ideal client is a mid/upper-level manager to executive, though I enjoy working with all clients. I especially enjoy working with those from under-represented groups in management, including people of color, women, and any leaders who are challenged by being marginalized.
