COACHINGMy coaching practice focuses on:• Authentic leadership presence – how do you show up as leader and also be yourself?• Leadership impact – how do you become a better leader of your people?• Inspirational leadership communication – how do you inspire & build trust as you lead change? • How can you balance increasing work demands with your life?I’ve developed my expertise of coaching in the workplace by helping organizations build coaching cultures, designing & leading numerous executive sessions, through research (Coaching Conundrum 2005 & 2009), & authoring articles.CONSULTINGI work with business & HR leaders to translate their values, mission, aspirations & “big ideas” into tangible, repeatable practices that build strong cultures of high performance and engagement. I can help develop your culture from the ground up or work with you to align business practices to your strategy, vision & values. I can assist if you’re drowning in heaps of organizational survey data or 360 feedback, and need to determine how to move the needle on the items that matter most.DESIGN & FACILITATIONI deliver executive leadership sessions & learning programs that compel people to engage with each other on the pressing issues they’re facing in an open, reflective way. My style combines candor, compassion & humor, with an eye toward getting people into action right away. I also design custom programs, whether it’s starting with a blank page or tweaking existing content for greater applicability and relevance. My background includes collaborations with authors to create leadership development programs based on their work, including:• Renowned leadership communication expert Terry Pearce’s Leading Out Loud on inspirational & authentic leadership communication.• Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones’ award-winning Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?• Updating the latest version of InsideOut Coaching created by Alan Fine, one of the originators of coaching as a business practice.

I'm excited to be part of a global network with The OCM, a purpose-driven firm passionate about using the power of coaching and mentoring to change organizations for the better. When people are stronger, more capable and more adaptable, they can transform their teams and business for the better. The OCM believes coaching and mentoring have the power to create this transformation.

I value my collaboration with EngagedLeadership, whose mantra is “everyone deserves to go beyond what they thought possible.” Through EL, I help individual leaders and teams get out of their own way to grow their businesses and grow the people in them. Being part of the EL community offers me a support and collaboration network and has made me a better coach.
