Partnering with people on their wholehearted and intentional leadership journey
About Me
I love learning about people and have a deep compassion for our individual journeys.
Throughout my 20-year career as a HR partner and training facilitator, I’ve worked with domestic and global leaders of all levels, helping them become wholehearted and intentional in their people approach. In 2022, I decided to leave the corporate world and step into my calling as a transformational and leadership coach and facilitator.I am a genuinely curious person and utilize my inquisitive nature to help people uncover their unique paths forward and reach their full potential so they can better lead their teams, their work, and themselves. I have a passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion and believe that everyone should have the opportunity to show up as their authentic self in every aspect of life.I also hold a strong belief that leaders have a responsibility, and when they are at their best, they can elevate their teams and work. I oftentimes see people in leadership positions who are not what we call natural leaders, and need additional help and tools that can allow them to be successful and grow into their role.
My areas of expertise include helping first-time managers, experienced leaders, and teams become better versions of themselves through 1:1 coaching, training, and facilitation.
As your coach, I will take an active approach in understanding who you are at your core. During your coaching journey, we will focus on your strengths and the values you align with to help develop the very best version of yourself in a constructive environment that mixes care, playfulness, and exploration of what’s outside of your comfort zone.One of my favorite quotes from a former boss is “There is no greater gift than clarity.” I want to do everything I can to partner with and help people gain that clarity — about themselves, the work, their teams, and their career. At the end of the day, I am all about helping people, and I can’t wait to partner with you and see you attain your goals!

Coaching
I practice what's called
"ontological coaching."
When we work together, we look at the parts of you at play when you make a decision and take action, and how you can shift these parts in order to take different actions and land different results. We explore the language used in internal and external narratives, the emotions involved developing emotional fluency and what’s happening in the body.By creating a welcoming, safe environment, we work together to build self-awareness and learn new tools that support your journey and help you show up as your very best self. Clients often come to me interested in learning new skills or to re-wire their leadership brains and end up experiencing a holistic transformation that extends beyond work into their everyday lives.Clients come to me when they are:

Facilitation
I believe team building and team training are necessary to develop and maintain strong team culture, trust and ultimately high performance. Yet sometimes those exercises can feel dull.
I strive to make my facilitated trainings meaningful and fun.
I utilize an array of existing tools and trainings to customize a program that fits the unique needs of the team. I work with first-time leaders who want to bring a new team together to C Suite executives looking to create a new a strategy.
