“If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.”
-African Proverb
In her own words…
Leadership and life coach. Corporate consultant. Licensed counselor.
My career is bit of a collage! But the common thread that runs through all of these complementary roles (aside from rooting my work in scientific, evidence- based approaches and modalities) Whether I am working with an individual, leader, or organization - I believe in human potential, human connection, and human flourishing.
And that when we work together, and work authentically we thrive…and are just plain happier!
Amid over 25 years in the corporate and leadership worlds, my favorite titles have been ones others have made up and affectionately referred to me as: “brand-and-culture muse,” “leader up-leveler,” and “corporate therapist.” The reason? These illuminate that the heart-and-soul of my work – which at its core is helping individuals, leaders, and brands tune into their unique values, strengths and goals, and craft a practical path towards “progress” and new possibilities – whatever that may mean to you.
Part of this is working together to discern what’s currently holding you back. From limiting beliefs to operational barriers – to the often-messy business of human relationships and baggage (which psst! can come from anywhere in our past from well-intentioned parents… to painful breakups…to even low E.Q ex-bosses!)
I love working with people, leaders, and brands to:
· Identify where you are stuck - and what’s holding you back
· Articulate where you want to be – and envision what’s possible
· Craft practical plans and next steps towards overcoming barriers and realizing goals
…all in a way that aligns with your values, your strengths, your current resources. And in a way that allows you to be authentic, encourages you to be creative, inspires you to be courageous, and invites you to laugh a bit along the way and enjoy the ride!
On a personal note, some things I love (when I‘m not busy helping individuals find their way forward, or worker bees or workplaces thrive)? Morning coffee and journaling on a front porch, hiking (and generally just being in nature - esp with my sweet rascal of a pup, Henri), finding the perfect gift for someone, live music, road-tripping, collaging, vintage thrifting, playing board games (hello, Scrabble!), and having root-beer taste tests and dance-offs with my three nephews. I’m enamored with honey bees and birds, and a sucker for all things nostalgic, ranging from drive-in movies, historic B&Bs, and Big Band music. And I love living life and working alongside people I can laugh with!
