I coach executives and professionals to become the leaders they’re meant to be - to lead from their core values, amplify their influence, and find greater satisfaction and joy in the work they do.In December 2021, I was diagnosed with myelodysplasia, a rare form of bone marrow cancer. In August 2022 I underwent a stem cell transplant and am currently in remission. I've called my diagnosis "the most precious gift I wish I'd never been given." It's transformed my life and my approach to coaching, inspiring in me a profound sense of gratitude and a deeper appreciation for the human experience.What sets my coaching apart is my long-standing meditation practice and belief in the power of mindfulness. These tools help executives build the self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and resilience crucial for success in business today.
