Business Coaching with Positivity and Authenticity

"Coaching isn't therapy. It's product development....and YOU are the product"

If you make the decision to work with a coach, it's critical that you feel like you can relate to them. Here's a little about me and my journey that led us to this moment. 

​

Recently, I asked several of my friends and clients to share what qualities best describe me. In no particular order, the top 5 responses were:

​

- Positive

- Empathetic

- Stellar listening skills

- Curious

- Lives life with integrity and authenticity

​

Coaching with these qualities generate genuine human connection, facilitates positive professional environments, drives sustainable results, cultivates emotional intelligence, and enables leaders to lead with purpose and make a meaningful difference with a focus on broader societal impact.  

​

In my coaching practice, my goal is to create a safe space. Doing so will provide my clients with an environment where they can be vulnerable, explore their own paths of self-discovery and personal growth, and find joy in everyday moments. I firmly believe that leaders who prioritize personal growth create a positive ripple effect within their organizations, the customers, and all those around them in their personal and professional lives.

My Leadership Journey

​

For 25+ years, I lived and breathed in the business world working directly with entrepreneurs and business professionals from across all industries and of all sizes. In my role as an Organizational Executive, I have seen what it takes to run an organization from the inside, and as a leader in the world of business development and stakeholder relations, I have seen the challenges entrepreneurs and business professionals endure every day.  

​

By fostering trusted partnerships with clients, promoting positivity, and creating an enjoyable and respectful working relationship, I have built a reputation for motivating and inspiring others to embrace the transformative process with enthusiasm.

​

- Certified Coach designation through an ICF-certified coaching school

- over 25 years of working directly with entrepreneurs and business professionals, finding solutions to obstacles and generating growth

- built strong and productive working relationships with customers ranging from home-based solopreneurs to C-Suite Executives, and everything in between!

- experienced public speaker

- guest on the Daring Living podcast, and Sweatpants to Suits podcast

​

What my experience has shown me is that many, if not most, of these challenges and barriers have been self-imposed. It's seldom about the products or services they were selling. It's about the road blocks that have been subconsciously placed in front of them.
