What Drove Me to Coaching
​
Throughout my career, I worked in sales, training, and education, always learning, developing people, and paying attention to what helped others grow. I grew a sales team that delivered a £5 million return in less than six months, quickly recreated a training process for one of the largest nonprofits supporting our military after 9/11, and helped build a multi-million-dollar business as a working mom of two. Still, even with meaningful success, I realize that I am a lifelong learner and will never feel like I am done.
I knew from a young age that I wanted to own a business, support growth, and build something meaningful, yet being married to a U.S. Marine, military life kept us moving, so my professional path shifted wherever the Marine Corps landed us. Looking back on this, I raised two resilient boys and lived through the rhythm of deployments, war, transition, and constant change.
​
When my husband retired from the Marine Corps in 2014, as a combat disabled veteran, I thought the hard part was behind us. What I did not realize was that retirement would bring a different kind of battle, one shaped by identity shifts, complex change, grief, healing, and the quiet weight families can carry long after service ends.
It was that season of life that humbled me. It deepened my faith, strengthened my desire to learn more about coping with change, and pushed me to rebuild from the inside out because of the life path we had lived. How would we handle being in one place to grow after 16 moves? That transformation led me to coaching.
Today, as a master trained and professionally certified coach, I help clients quiet the noise, elevate truth, and find clarity to capture their success. My work is rooted in self-trust, confidence, resilience, and the belief that life is for us — and believe me when I say, we are not meant to figure it all out alone. Resources are the key to any success we create.
Are you ready to find joy in your journey and simplify the path forward?
I’m here to amplify what already exists within you and highlight things unnoticed.
It's the way we work together through understanding your:
If you are not bearing good results from your work, life is not at its best. Let's design who you are meant to be, not what others expect you to be.
Mindset
Awareness
Coaching creates awareness. Are you operating on autopilot? My strength in recognizing behavior patterns can support you. Let's interrupt what is no longer serving you and intentionally build upon what does.
Performance
Trust is my #1 value! It is great for coaching, and yet, growing up, it was hard until I found my calling. Are you leading and living by your values?
It is the one thing you can trust in elevating your personal and professional life.
Future/Goals/Aspirations
Regularly evaluating your approach to life helps maximize impact while maintaining a healthy presence.
Where are you headed and what do you hope for when you get there?
Stride
How do you differentiate in a competitive market? With a vibrant mix of clients, I discovered that confidence and a clearly defined purpose are essentials to success and maintaining your stride. Visionary thinking, storytelling, active listening skills, influence, presence, experiences, and more unlock a powerful understanding of our true north.'Your Stride', will empower you to conquer challenges, prioritize effectively, align with your core values, shred limiting beliefs, track your progress, and feed you forward.
The Client and Coach Match Is Important- Why- Your success. Knowing a little about your coach and their approach will only support you in settling into the engagement. Trust matters because it allows the relationship to deepen. The more trust you have, the deeper dive you will take, which impacts the outcome. How can you address things that you aren't willing to share?
​
On the train to meet a few clients in the city, I found myself reflecting on the personal side of this work and how that impacts the client relationship. Finding the right coach is important to creating the success every client deserves to experience.
​
Coaching, for me, is not simply a profession; coaching is a practice and a way of engaging with life.
My top 5 for Find a Good Coach:
1. Someone who listens- not an advisor.
2. Someone who can challenge you with care and strategy.
3. Someone who can balance the conversation to help you create a successful outcome.
4. Someone who sees you as a whole person and coaches to that standard. You are only one person.
5. Someone who meets you where you are and honors your values, strengths, culture, and the outcomes you seek.
