Leadership & Transformation


I am a Personal and Professional leadership and business development coach. I have extensive entrepreneurial experience and success. I help individuals and organizations recognize and actualize their greatest potential. I bring a compassionate, direct, truth telling candor to my coaching. I have an ability to build trust and safety quickly with clients. One of my strengths is being able to get at the heart of a matter quickly, even when an issue is not clear or appears to be something else.

My nature is open and easy going; my coaching style is respectful and direct. This style creates an environment in which clients can speak their truth and receive feedback and perspectives they wouldn't hear from others.

I believe that healing and empowerment comes from within my clients; I simply facilitate the process. My role is to provide the environment, encouragement and accountability for getting clarity on core issues, committing to a new vision or life plan, and then supporting you in achieving your goals. 

My experience as a business owner and coach allow me to see the deeper issues that are creating challenges for the leader and organization. One of my strengths is being able to get at the heart of a matter quickly, even when an issue is not obvious. The opportunity to speak about things that are usually left unsaid is not common in today’s business environment. Yet, this is the very thing that must be done in order to create real change. I provide a safe and secure space to allow individuals and groups to go deep and open up to their real feelings, thoughts and creativity that lead us to real sustainable growth and change.

Growth Opportunities


While each business leader and company is unique, do any of these growth and transformation opportunities sound familiar?

You are just starting out: You have a vision, a business idea, or even just a calling to go into business… but you really don’t know where to start. There’s so much to consider and so much uncertainty. You might feel excited and hopeful… and the whole thing can also feel overwhelming, even scary.

Your started your business with great enthusiasm, vision and passion, but somewhere along the way you lost that loving feeling. Your job and business have become a grind and feels burdensome. You’re in conflict with yourself, partners and coworkers. You feel stuck and are ready to change.

You are great at what you do and you really make a difference in people’s lives. As a professional, you are great! As a business person, well, there is a lot of growth opportunity. You probably wonder what you are missing. It’s confusing. Why aren’t you doing better  when your service or product is excellent? Running a business is easy…unless you know what your doing.

You have been successful in business. You achieved success in all measures; house, car, boat, club membership, money in the bank, nice family, etc. Yet, happiness is fleeting and you don’t feel fulfilled, at peace or connected to your joy and passion. Perhaps you have been working for someone else, or even running your own business and you’ve done well. You know how to make it work, but there’s still something missing. Maybe you’ve outgrown your work. Or, maybe it never really satisfied you in the first place. Either way, you’re ready for a change. How can you be in business and still be true to your heart?

You’re sick of all the BS in your business.  Power games, fear, manipulation, lying, fighting and the blame game. Working in a company driven by negativity is a sure formula for high turnover, low morale, burnout and the eventual business failure. You know in your heart and soul this is not how business should be. You want to do whatever it takes to bring sanity and love back into the business; there has to be a way…

I have expertise in each one of these areas and welcome the opportunity to explore how I may support you and your company's specific challenges and opportunities.
