Two organizations have merged and top leaders need to improve the culture
A leader is technically brilliant and lacks some of the skills necessary to lead others
Struggling with a tense work environment, a leader wants to learn mindfulness techniques to achieve balance and reduce stress
A mid-level leader struggles to hold her team accountable
A high potential leader wants to refine skills and clarify career path
A challenging business climate means the top leaders must make a step-change in performance
A company founder seeks to invigorate an established but low-performing organization

I began my executive coaching career in 2007 with a strong belief in the power of choice to transform lives, and consequently, the world. Whether we recognize it or not, we all make choices about how we see, value and interact with others. I work with leaders who strive for continuous improvement and are ready to own their choices and take the next steps in their high performance journey.

Recent coachees have improved in practical skills like team development, expanding influence, delegation, coaching others, dealing with conflict and running effective meetings. A recent coachee said, “I can't begin to tell you how much the coaching helped me. It was very easy to open up and recognize the reasons I was struggling.”

My methods combine both structure and flexibility to adjust to each person’s unique needs and goals. I’ve experienced the power of involving others, like the coachee’s boss, in some of the coaching process for enhanced accountability, and I also recognize that there are times when the coaching partnership is completely confidential experience. Regardless of the structure of the experience, the coachee is in the driver’s seat, and I’ll work with him/her to create a process that works.

I am a former social worker and family counselor and supported personal growth and development for fifteen years before entering the professional coaching and training field. This has enhanced my ability to understand individual and group dynamics and how best to help people develop and capitalize on their strengths.... See More

I am a founding principal at Humanergy, a leadership development company that has been providing coaching, training and facilitation since 2000.

The bottom line of coaching is results. The aim of our coaching is not for the coachee to simply “feel better;” the expectation is also improved performance. To achieve trajectory‐changing results, coaching is structured around the coachee’s reality. Throughout the coaching process, what the coachee is learning is integrated with what he or she is doing on the job. This experiential learning results in progress that is both fast and responsive to the organization’s current and emerging needs.

Insight and depth of understanding about what needs to be achieved and what contributes to or limits success
