ABOUT ME
It’s hard to remember when I wasn't coaching, energized by people’s talents and encouraging exploration and possibility. I trained and became certified through the internationally renowned Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), where I learned the skills and models to support my natural curiosity and drive for transformation. I hold the highest Master Coach (MCC) credential, certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I am also a certified neuroscience coach (CNTC) and a certified mental fitness coach (CPQC).
My pre-coaching background is in media and communications. My first, 20+ year career, was in film, television and digital media. I held titles and roles including creative producer, executive producer, manager, leader, consultant, mentor and coach. This experience is the basis for my executive presence and communications coaching, which I bring to all my clients, and, separately through my sister company Business Presence.
During my career, I have focused on big-picture strategy as well as delivering on the tactical details. I consider myself equally good at both. As a producer, I covered technology, personal finance & fintech, environmental science & sustainability, executive management & leadership. As a coach, I have worked with clients in media, tech, healthcare, biotech, banking and other industries.
Please book a time for us to meet! We’ll explore your current situation and where you’re headed, and consider the support that will help you land with clarity, composure, compassion, courage and confidence.
