Those who work with me are promised:


  • Undivided attention, both to what you say and what's between the lines.
  • Unconditional regard for your agenda, your risks and rewards, your unique outlook.  
  • Outcome-oriented, relevant conversation with a little humor tossed in.
  • Tools and frameworks to use again and again as you go forward.​​​

​​​​​​I work with people to create change.   They want a future where something they are doing or feeling is different than it is today.   


Those who work with me have an agenda and are seeking objective thought partnership, coaching, or consulting to clarify their thinking, develop their skills, find their blind spots, get unstuck, reflect on their progress, embrace their strengths, and make decisions and choices for more meaning, ease, and success moving forward.  


I bring insights from science, decades of experience, and an easily relatable safe presence to conversations that guide you to new awareness, growth, strategy, and confidence.  I've spent thousands of hours in conversations with amazing people in globally known brands as they reflect, consider, learn, plan, and shift.


And, I am not a bot!  Though they have their place.  I am an active listener, a thoughtful sounding board, and am very comfortable talking about the complexity of the human journey, including our mindsets, worries, challenges and dreams.  My life hasn't been a straight path and I've personally faced many of challenges and opportunities that coaching supports.  ​​​
