What is Coaching?
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
As your coach, I recognize that you are the expert in your own life. With your introspection and self-awareness, and the insights of those who matter most—both personally and professionally—and my support as a coach, we’ll work together to build on your strengths, address unproductive patterns, and develop the strategies and habits that help you become more resilient, purpose-driven, and impactful.

What is Leadership?
Simply and beautifully coined by Paul Hersey, “Leadership is working with and through others to achieve objectives”.
All leaders have the capacity to improve the quality and effectiveness of their leadership. Most, though, are likely being held back by limiting beliefs and unconstructive behaviors.
In many organizations, leadership can be lonely. When feedback feels harsh, and the path forward to maximize effectiveness is murky, an objective thought partner can be invaluable.

What is Leadership Coaching?
“A leader who is self-aware enough to know that he or she is not adept at everything is one who has taken the first step toward being a great leader.” Marshall Goldsmith
Leadership coaching is a structured, collaborative process that helps leaders strengthen their effectiveness by aligning their actions with their values, goals, and the needs of those they serve.
Applying stakeholder-centered coaching principles, I will work with you to define your goals, and engage your stakeholders to offer generous feedback, recommendations for progress, and quantify your progress.
You will apply a growth mindset and intentionality to practicing new behaviors that enhance both individual and collective performance. It’s not about fixing you as a leader—it’s about unlocking your capacity to lead with greater responsiveness, accountability, and impact.

What is Resilience?
Personal resilience is the capacity to stay grounded, purposeful, and effective—even in high-stakes and high-uncertainty environments. It’s not about pushing through at all costs, but about building the foundation and growth practices that help us reconnect to what matters most, replenishing your inner resources, and showing up with clarity, integrity, and even joy. For everyone, but most especially service-driven professionals whose impact depends on sustained presence and purpose, resilience is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.
