I love what I do and that comes through in every conversation I have. Like many of my clients, I juggle work, parenting, marriage, friends, health - the proverbial work-life balance. It's a tall order, and one to which I am constantly adapting. What I also have in common with my clients is a desire to be effective, resilient and happy - to connect meaningfully with others and make a difference in the world.
Prior to establishing my coaching practice, I spent 25 years in business development for professional services firms, small businesses and nonprofits. For the past decade, I've been coaching CEOs, founders, senior executives, business owners and VC professionals. My passion is helping people get unstuck and achieve their personal or professional goals. My clients lead in diverse fields including tech, health care, finance, biotech, engineering, venture and energy. We often focus on growing executive leadership presence, navigating difficult conversations, career transitions and time/life management.
Coaching relationships are, by definition, highly intentional. The best coaches I've had were observant, candid and challenged me to move beyond my comfort zone, always setting a tone of creativity and support in our conversations.
My style of coaching echoes this. My clients count on me to bring deep listening, innovative thinking and straight talk. I believe we are navigating our careers and our lives, one conversation at a time... and that what gets talked about with candor sets our GPS coordinates for the future.
I certified as a Professional Coach through New Ventures West in 2011. In terms of toolkit, I am a certified facilitator in Immunity to Change, DISC, Insights Discovery and Integrity Selling. I love the Enneagram, but am still a student myself in that body of work. On the personal front: I've been happily married for 28 years and I have two kids in college years. When I'm not working, I stay grounded or clear my head with running, gardening and meditation, and I take any opportunity to stop and watch sunlight on water.
