What Drove Me to Coaching​
​
My own life has shaped the way I coach. Twenty years as a military spouse meant constant transition and repeatedly repurposing my skills to fit new opportunities. Those experiences taught me a great deal about resilience, identity, and the importance of having the right support when life or work shifts. Managing change is where leaders and I find a lot of common ground. My coaching style is to dive deep into difficult conversations worth having. It's more than just strategy; it is strategy with deeper insight and intentions (understanding).
​
My purpose has always centered on helping people learn, grow, and lead with their highest values, natural talent, and truth (foundations that drive coaching competencies). Over the past decade, that work has taken me deeper into leadership development and executive coaching. I am highly trained to ask the questions that need to be answered and to listen for both what is being said and what is not. Much of my work centers on strengthening the relational aspects of leadership for every client I have the honor to serve (personal and professional blend).
​
My coaching experience includes senior executives leading in complex change, Fortune 50 leaders navigating national crisis, participants in leadership advancement courses, OPM leadership programs, and other structured leadership development experiences across the public and private sectors. I have also led coaching teams designed to enrich and strengthen training programs.
​
Today, I bring more than 3,200 hours of coaching experience to leaders navigating change, growth, complexity, and responsibility.
​
BLUF: I’m here to amplify what already exists within my client and highlight things unnoticed.
That is the power of coaching and what drove me to be a coach.
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.
