I am dedicated to empowering individuals to unlock their creative potential and chart their unique paths to success.

With a multi-disciplinary background spanning corporate environments, entrepreneurial ventures, and academia, I bring a wealth of experience to my coaching practice.

Coaching is a conversation centered on you and your aspirations. Together, we explore how to achieve your goals and identify any obstacles in your way.

A coach helps you and/or your business to:

• Set and reach goals

• Design a plan of action

• Solve problems

• Make decisions

• Create a forward momentum

In addition to these areas, the coach “stays with” (coaches) the client to:

_Implement the plan of action, working through the inevitable changes and any obstacles

_Maintain a healthy balance between personal and professional life

_Keep looking ahead to take advantage of opportunities that are just now formulating

_Bring out your personal best, keeping focused on your needs, values, and vision

“What you focus on grows, what you think about expands, and what you dwell upon determines your reality.”

To change your life in a way you want requires commitment, action, consistency, and support.

Coaching works because when given consistent space, attentive listening, and support of your coach, you realise how powerful you really are.

I believe you can create your own best answers, which are not “shoulds” but “wants.” I am trained to support you in that process.

With confidence, you begin to implement action steps to change your life.

I am trained and experienced in helping clients reach several types of goals.

Primarily I work with professionals who are at one of the following places with their life or career:

_Making changes.

_Experiencing a creative block.

_Need help prioritizing and making decisions.

_Having personal conflicts or problems.

_Planning to move forward and feel overwhelmed.

Together, we create a sacred space rooted in mutual trust, respect, honesty, curiosity, and compassion.

I guide you on an inner journey to explore your truth, grounded in mindfulness and intentional language.

_I believe that you are extremely capable and have the answers within you. I believe that you are the expert in your life and work.

_I believe that you possess the creativity and resourcefulness to move your life/career/relationships in the direction of your choosing.

_I will encourage your self-discovery, and will guide you to your own solutions and strategies.

_I will support you and hold you responsible and accountable.

_I will encourage and nurture honest and brave feedback during our partnership.

_I listen actively and fully. You are the focus. I listen to what you say, what you are trying to say, and what you are not saying.

_Share. After you have fully communicated, I share with you my observations, comments, and views on your situation, dilemma, or opportunity.

_Endorse. A professional, an entrepreneur, an artist – needs, yes, needs, an outside voice full of endorsement, compassion, and acknowledgement. Not a yes-type person, but someone who knows what it takes to achieve.

_Suggest. Part of my job is to be at least three steps ahead of you, yet be with you. I will make suggesions, and you make choices that you feel are best for you.

_Support. I want a lot for you. I want you to be healthy, happy, and successful. I want you to have a life that inspires others—and yourself. I fully support your choices as you move toward the life you really want.
