I'm a strategist and writer. I coach, consult, speak, and podcast.I specialize in helping accomplished executives navigate inflection points by exploring their personal identity and finding the words to do themselves justice. I'm not here to build slick influencers, I help leaders who want to be more grounded, real, and confident in their own identity. Here's my story:A Seattle native, I grew up professionally in Washington, D.C. I came up in the worlds of global public health, NGOs, A/E/C and green building, CSR, healthcare, agriculture, and marketing agencies.After 15 years rising the ranks, I left my corporate job in 2019. I was no longer fulfilled by climbing someone else’s ladder. Striking out on my own was both intuitive and hard. I knew I had all the tools I needed to provide value for clients – but I also had no idea who I was or what I wanted to stand for on my own.Years of working for other people had left me in a bit of an identity crisis.So I took the concepts and skillsets I had for developing brand strategies, and turned them on myself. The process was tough, but it made me feel more confident and connected to what matters most in my life, my work, and how I want to make an impact.Now, I dedicate my time to helping others do the same. Here's what that looks like:Personal brand strategy & coachingCorporate branding and strategic communicationsKeynotes and team presentationsWorkshop planning & facilitationWriting and podcastsShould we work together?
