ABOUT ME
I am a coach. I am a consultant. I am a leader.
I bring a unique combination of skills and experience to my work with clients: I have hands-on experience leading and managing organizations, I have solid expertise designing and leading change projects as an organization development consultant, and I am a trained and certified professional leadership coach. This combination of skills allows me to support clients in powerful ways, and bring about lasting, meaningful change for their organizations.
​
But I am more than just a coach, or a consultant. I am also a leader (I sometimes joke that I am a recovering Executive Director). I bring over 17 years working inside organizations leading and managing teams, and building effective systems, strategies, and programs. This 'boots on the ground' operational know-how gives me first hand knowledge of what organizations need in order to truly thrive -- and what commonly gets in the way of forward momentum.
