Coach | Facilitator | Thought Partner

I define personal leadership as the ability to relate well to yourself and others. 

You keep trying harder, nothing seems to be working... 

Cultivating personal leadership can help break this cycle and increase your ability to live your life and do your work with more ease, peace, and joy – even and especially when the world around you is chaotic. 

The aim of personal leadership coaching is to increase internal resilience, build emotional intelligence, and increase your ability to relate well to yourself and others.

Together, we will design strategies and practices that work for you – so you can experience more personal fulfillment and professional effectiveness. 

I coach adults of all ages, backgrounds and identities. Most of my clients hold a commitment to positive social impact.

 Benefits of coaching:   Investment in coaching has been shown to increase employee confidence & well-being, boost job satisfaction & performance and improve communication skills & working relationships. 

Anecdotally from my own experience, clients have expressed an increase in confidence, reduced feelings of isolation, and deeper commitment to and effectiveness in their day to day work. 

Working with a coach can be especially supportive when: 

• experiencing or contemplating a major life transition 
• beginning a new career, job or position 
• navigating difficult professional or personal relationships 
• feeling a disconnect (at home, at work, or simply within) between how you want to be and what you’re actually experiencing day to day

Coaching can support you to: 

• Cultivate self-awareness and self-management
• Build internal resilience 
• Leverage a learning mindset 
• Experience more peace in your relationships 
• Be a more effective and impactful leader
• Find your next “yes!”

I partner with clients to tap the wellspring of knowledge and agency that already exists within, supporting them to learn, move forward in action, and realize their goals. I’m deeply committed to creating a world where everyone gets to be the full expression of who they are.

I employ an action oriented, values aligned and behavior based approach in my coaching practice.  

My core frameworks include:

• Appreciative Inquiry
• Meditation, Mindfulness & Awareness
• Living Systems Theory & Design Thinking
• Emotional Intelligence + the neurobiology of emotion
• Group Dynamics + the neurobiology of connection
• Non-Violent Communication
• Polyvagal Theory (how the nervous system regulates social behavior & self-regulation)
