Leadership Coaching
I work with leaders who are navigating complexity—not just in their strategy, but in their relationships, emotions, and sense of self. The leaders I work with care deeply, think critically, and are often the ones holding the line on integrity, strategy, or possibility when others are caught in reactivity or groupthink.
Some of the leaders I work with are preparing for bigger roles and bigger impact. Some are learning to stay centered under pressure, manage their reactivity, and have the conversations they’ve been avoiding. Other leaders are dealing with power dynamics, cultures of blame, or relationships that feel chronically difficult.
I help leaders:
Build influence with skeptical stakeholders
Navigate high-stakes conversations and conflict
Stay grounded and self-regulated in fast-moving environments
Lead through strategic, cultural, or structural change
Own their leadership style, and use it with intention
Set and hold boundaries
Speak hard truths with compassion and credibility
Embrace growth when leadership gets uncomfortable
I offer a space where leaders can be honest, think about big questions, grapple with challenges, and imagine new possibilities.
I stay grounded when others might feel overwhelmed.
I understand complex relationship dynamics quickly and with compassion.
I help leaders untangle what’s really going on, no shame or blame.
I bring steadiness and curiosity that lets leaders reflect and move forward with actions and behaviors they choose with confidence and integrity.
We transform struggle into insight.
Bright and successful leaders know how to achieve. You are stellar at execution.
Working with me as your coach, we explore who you are, what drives you, what you value, what matters to you, what you want, and how you want to show up in the current and future realities of your organization and team.
I help leaders know yourselves deeply.
Self-awareness is the key to showing up as the leader you want to be.
This awareness creates room for growth.
When you get clear on who you are, what you value, and what you wish to transform through your leadership, you begin to unlock a cascade of opportunities that will lead to more impact, fulfillment, and confidence. This is about meaningful success, on your terms, while honoring your sovereignty.
Approach
As your coach, I stand powerfully for you and with you.
We look at your worldview, mindset, story, beliefs, emotions, ideas, and environment to understand you more. This is the inner work - what happens below the surface. We create space for reflection so you get clear on your thinking, curiosities, values, message, and wants. This expands your options for the future and helps you see what excites you.
We make the connections between your inner world, and how the beliefs, values, feelings, mindsets, strengths, and triggers shows up in your leadership and career, and how you can work with this self-awareness to become a more effective leader.
With compassion and levity, I guide you to free yourself from ways that you and others lock you in your own mind.
We have insightful and illuminating conversations, reflecting, exploring, and discovering. We grapple with big questions. We shift perspectives. We look at situations through new and creative lenses. We understand your unique needs. We identify your resources. We illuminate your patterns so we know how to leverage your strengths and work with your triggers. This opens up opportunity, and fuels your growth as a leader and human being.
Our partnership offers you:
My genuine care and my calm and steady presence
Space to explore and discover, without judgement
Increased self-awareness: your blind-spots revealed, your options expanded
Creative and positive thinking that moves you through challenges and opportunities
Space to explore the connection between your inner experience and how you show up as a leader

When you get clear on who you are and what you want, and create changes to align with who you are and what you want, things change.
You will grapple with challenging ideas.
You will stretch yourself while feeling empowered.
We will make it fun by tapping into what is fun to you, designing creative thinking time that you will enjoy, and exploring ideas that are fascinating to you.

It would be an honor and pleasure to work with you.
Next Steps
Working with a coach invites you to be vulnerable, and that takes a relationship built on trust and transparency. It also takes a willingness to explore things that might be challenging, an investment of your time, and a financial investment.
