My job is to work with leaders on the cusp of greatness to go from reliable doers to transformational, Heart Centered Leaders.

How I Found Coaching
For most of my life, I saw my sensitivity as a weakness. I thought I was “too emotional” to be a powerful leader. I went from job to job looking for a place that would value my gifts and passion.

Looking outside myself for validation was the root of the issue!

After a particularly long day during my “burned out” period, I called up my Dad, (my trusted supporter and confidant) and asked him - “What am I doing wrong?”

His reply changed everything - “When will you see that your sensitivity is your strength?”

At that moment, something clicked for me. I decided that the world needed me as I was - compassionate, courageous, loving, intuitive, and fun. I could stop trying to perform and conform and instead hone my talents and lead from my values to make a difference in the world.

I was done reacting to life and looking outside of myself - I was ready to build something. I hired my first coach and I experienced the power of the work: honest feedback, deep connection, creative conversations, visioning - I was hooked. I knew this was the vehicle I wanted to use for supporting people in achieving greatness.
