ICF PCC · Licensed Career Coach
The strongest version of you isn’t waiting on the other side of the obstacle.
It’s built in the act of removing it.

I spent years as a senior executive at two major entertainment studios before becoming a coach. I hold a PCC credential from the International Coaching Federation and am additionally a licensed career counselor, mindfulness teacher, and crisis manager. The breadth of that experience — across industries, levels, and disciplines — is what I bring to every engagement.

First we investigate what may be in the way of you realizing your full potential. We then dig deep to find the root causes. And from there the work is specific, intentional, and built entirely around you. Most clients find that what shifts in our work together doesn’t just improve their performance. It lasts.
-
Leaders at every stage of the climb — from managers stepping into their first significant leadership role to senior executives navigating the particular pressures of the top. If you are serious about the work, performing at a high level, and ready to go beneath the surface to find out what's actually in the way, we’re ready to get to work.

In my career, I was promoted over people seemingly more qualified because of my ability to communicate powerfully and convincingly. I was asked to work with other executives on their fears around public speaking and how to be more concise and dynamic presenters. This was my first taste of coaching, and I found it profoundly interesting and meaningful.
When I became a PCC and began coaching full time, one of the first things I did was flesh out the communications work I had developed at the studios. It evolved into a system, whose steps include: intention, consicse speech, storytelling, breathing techniques, how to find that one great sentence, and staying grounded. I have taught this system to hundreds of clients and several companies from whom I’ve gotten tremendous feedback as they were finally able to turn themselves from tentative, nervous speakers into intentional, compelling, and powerful communicators.
