About Me
With over 15 years of experience as a former business development, platform, and product strategy leader at Google, and during the early days at Slack, I understand your world. You will not waste your valuable time explaining to me how things work.
With a curious mind and energetic spirit, I will bring my rich corporate experience and rigorous coaching training to meet you where you are.
Although I ultimately received my formal coaching training and certification through the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), in hindsight, coaching actually chose me long ago. From championing colleagues to break free from stagnating careers in pursuit of more meaningful opportunities, to rallying loved ones to get unstuck and not let life just happen to them, I have had the privilege of championing others throughout most of my life.
While my own cancer diagnosis at 32 could have easily been remembered as one of the darkest moments in my life, the years that immediately followed were some of the most transformative and fulfilling. I gained a profound respect and appreciation for each day and learned that I am more capable, resilient and stronger than I ever knew. Little did I know that, more than a decade later, I could honestly say my battle with cancer has been a gift in many ways. I feel honored to help my clients find the opportunity in their seemingly intolerable circumstances as well.
Outside of coaching, I enjoy logging miles on my Peloton bike, playing as many sports as my body will still tolerate, keeping 90’s dance moves alive and well, cooking for my small but mighty family of three, and continually learning something new.
I hope to have the privilege of walking beside you on your journey to personal growth and transformation.
My coaching approach
We will kick off our engagement by establishing a few meaningful goals and define what wild success would look like. Success will be defined not only through the outcomes you want to drive but the mindset, and related behaviors that will bring about those desired outcomes.
I’m committed to helping you work smarter, not harder. One concrete way of doing so is by creating a life full of productive, intentional habits. As someone who actively lives a life of habits enabling nutrition, fitness, mental well-being and life-long learning, I will help you identify and establish new habits that align with your personal and professional goals.
Whenever you confront a challenge, we will develop an approach full of concrete actions to help you not only overcome the particular challenge in front of you, but also one that may be repurposed elsewhere in your life.
We will leverage various resources, including self-assessments, 360-degree feedback, powerful questions, guided experiences, and research-backed exercises to ensure a high level of self-awareness and provide you with a robust toolkit that you can use long after our time together.
I have been told that working with me is fun, energizing, direct, and productive. I’m not afraid to call you out when you’re doing something hypocritical or that conflicts with one of your important values. I will challenge you to think about others and your circumstances in a truthful yet more empowering way. You will start to ask yourself more often ‘What is right about these circumstances?’ and ‘What is the gift here?’ instead of seeking out the negative or what will go wrong.
