Coaching approach

As a coach, I view myself a catalyst for transformational growth and change. My approach is collaborative and individually co-created in the course of each client relationship depending on client needs, intentions, preferences, strengths and values. I work from a whole-person embodied coaching approach, which best supports true and sustainable change and transformation. 

​

I partner with clients in a variety of ways including facilitating desired growth, expanded clarity, awareness and insight, mindset shifts, goal setting and achievement, professional effectiveness, executive presence, satisfaction, emotional flexibility and fostering more purpose, meaning and connection in their lives. I also support clients in dealing with transitions, change, limiting beliefs, set backs, disappointments, uncertainty, difficult situations and life circumstances and meeting challenges and complexities. 

​

Many of my clients experience our relationship as providing them with a trusted partner and support system. In this way, our time together provides a critical protective factor against the stress and demands of work and life and promotes 

increased resilience and overall well being, in addition to more specific coaching objectives. 

​

Discover, access & embody your fullest potential & capacity as a leader and a person.
