What If? A seemingly innocuous phrase that can somehow also evoke the unknown and inspire terror in the steadiest of us. What If I lose my job? What if my partner leaves me? What if I can't pay the mortgage?At What If...?Coaching we try for a different relationship with the unknown, one of possibilities and growth. WHAT IF you found a career you love? WHAT IF you discovered what was most important to you? WHAT IF you explored the wide world of options that surround us all? WHAT IF you can create a way to be your authentic, whole self in all aspects of your life?What If...? clients work with their coach to develop meaningful goals, identify factors that are holding them back, and create documented plans with measurable objectives to achieve those goals and move their lives in a new direction.So... WHAT IF you discovered YOUR what if?

Everyone has a story, but sometimes it can be a challenge to identify the heart of yours. I work directly with clients to ensure they are presenting their best story, to the best audience, using the best channels. I work closely with our CEO and Creative Director to ensure we are deploying the most current strategies and practices for measurement, storytelling, and audience identification.I also facilitate projects as they travel between our creative and production teams, develop project plans, track deadlines, and keep our clients informed about changes in their market. In short, I'm a storyteller by any means necessary who identifies the best tools and assets to help our clients thrive.
