If you look at my work history, you'll see that I'm all about connections. A coach, a coaching supervisor and mentor, a qualitative researcher, a strategic planner. The thread there is connecting with people and helping others see the connections in their own lives and work.I spend the bulk of my work life in the coaching world. I am PCC certified through the International Coach Federation, a registered Mentor Coaching with ICF, a Certified Leadership Coach (Kansas Leadership Center), and I'm on my way to being a Certified Coaching Supervisor (ICCS). I'm committed to the coaching process and how it empowers others to grow into their own unique potential. Whatever you need to move your organization--or yourself!--forward, I will meet you there and accompany you on the journey.I also spend time in the research and evaluation world. I'm an experienced program evaluator who marries qualitative and quantitative data to make informed decisions. I have a passion for the challenges faced by nonprofits and arts agencies, particularly those they face in effectively telling their story to funders and the public. My specialty is Qualitative research; I am energized by semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and detailed content analysis, because of the opportunities they provide to connect with people and their stories.What about non-work time? Still connecting! As a Certified Fitness Instructor (Jazzercise, Inc.) I get to mic up and take the stage several times a week. I provide quality instruction (and a great time!) for customers who are committed like I am to their health.Do you need a partner who can help you and your organization thrive?
