About me:
I build leaders of impact, and high-performing, collaborative teams.
As a leadership coach, accredited by the International Coaching Federation, I have worked with a diverse range of clients at all levels across various industries. My clients benefit from my extensive industry knowledge, practical insights, and individual focus, and have enjoyed significant improvements in individual performance, team dynamics, and organizational effectiveness.
In addition to my individual Coaching and Leadership Development Coaching Programs, I facilitate intense, interactive workshops, and speak on issues of people-leadership such as:
Confronting self-doubt
Minimizing Burnout: Maximizing Accountability
Intrepid, fearless, resolute leadership in change
Leading into Ambiguity
Resilience
The Power-tools of the Leader of Impact
For over 15 years I built and led teams - remote, hybrid and on site - that accomplished the amazing, including changing cultures, driving organizational change and transformation in government organizations, educational institutions, and not for profit - in IT and Tech.
I have thrived as a leader in large-scale transformational cultures (fast paced, challenging), where change was the objective, and often complex; Uncertainty was rampant; Ambiguity was pervasive; Perceptions of conflict and competition were deeply entrenched; And volatility was often the result
Utilizing a coach-approach and building teams, cultures and environments that were psychologically safe, were foundational to our success. Together we transformed the cultures to achieve collaborative and interdependent objectives.
I’ve also had my full share of mediocre to downright awful bosses. I know the damage they can cause.
And now, I’m driven to help leaders and organizations do better.
I coach. I want to help you, your team and your organization become hi-performance, creative, innovative and resilient.
My Goal: To enable my clients, high-achieving professionals, their teams and organizations to excel boldly.
My Vision: Highly productive, high-value and resilient teams and organizations led by confident, engaged, enthusiastic, creative and innovative leaders; Teams achieving and expanding potential, able to agilely pivot and adapt with changing market environments: Resilient!
