What if your next move wasn’t about doing more… but becoming more of who you already are? That’s the kind of work I do with senior leaders. I’m an executive coach who’s spent 15+ years helping people step into bigger leadership roles, navigate tough transitions, and build careers that feel like theirs—not just a résumé checklist. Before coaching, I spent years as a communications consultant, executive, and startup founder. That mix of strategy, storytelling, and leadership pressure shaped how I coach today. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being real, intentional, and ready. Here’s the kind of work I do best: → Clarifying your leadership style: what drives you, what slows you down, and how to lead in a way that actually feels like you → Helping you show up powerfully: building executive presence without pretending, performing, or pushing too hard → Setting goals worth chasing: the kind that stretch you, not just impress others → Helping you shift: from stuck to ready, from reactive to calm, from exhausted to energized → Growing your career: upward, outward, across the room… whatever “growth” means for you Who do I work with? Senior leaders figuring out their next move. C-suite execs stepping into the unknown after a change in control or reorg. Mid-career professionals making bold pivots. And hundreds of managers navigating change, pressure, and possibility. This work is personal. It's confidential. And it works, if you're ready to do the work. Curious about coaching? Let’s talk.
