If you feel stuck in your career, confused about what direction to take or need a partner in decision-making, personal development or how to effective lead others - I'm your coach!
I have 25+ years of success in coaching leaders, as well as early-career developing professionals. I view conversations as a confluence to new breakthroughs and greater understanding. Here is a list of the "Super Powers" I bring to each coaching session:
- Accurate Listening. I listen to your statements intently and most often I am able to identify your core intentions, your higher self, your personal Super Powers. Most of us don't realize that embedded in our conversations, we are saying what we really long for. We all need and deserve someone to help sort through our dialogue. Join me in a conversation to gain insight into your relevant message.
- Expert Reframing. You have already created great successes! I can help you untangle those strengths and articulate how you add value and get results in the future. Together we can translate that story into reframing what is around you and discover a break-through for the new future you deserve.
- Business Acumen. I am passionate about building and aligning businesses to customers. I also am passionate about gaining engagement and using innovation to make profit. Can 1 + 1 = 5? You bet! I would love to help guide your business plans and strategy to meet the ever-changing needs of the future.
- Added Resources. I have a rich network of professionals, friends and colleagues. Along with making connections, I help with resume & business templates, feedback, research and mentoring guidance. This supports my coaching with a resource-rich approach.
I enjoy helping professionals think of extraordinary goals and develop meaningful plans to get there. I am dedicated to helping emerging leaders in career advancement.
