What I do
TL;DR: I’ll meet you where you’re at and help you level up your confidence and impact.
I help new generations of leaders hit their stride, employing an empathetic, yet direct approach, always grounded in business strategy and company context. I work primarily with lifelong high achievers growing into senior roles - including founders and executives - helping build confidence, managerial instincts, and business sense, while reconciling the pressures and career questions that often follow.
Having led the People function and held an array of roles focused on leadership and professional development, I have extensive experience guiding Millennial and Gen Z professionals, understanding their unique motivations and challenges. I believe that fostering a peer dynamic in the coaching relationship leads to greater trust and openness, allowing for more impactful coaching. My coaching style is best described as relatable and incisive.
I believe that work and life can and should happily complement one another. I guide senior professionals to clarify and realize their own career goals, enhance individual and team performance, and navigate through challenging moments.
What I can help with
Managerial fundamentals
Build essential managerial skills to lead your team effectively and drive results. I’ll help grow your confidence in key areas, like trust-building, delegation, decision-making, self-awareness, communication skills, and performance management.
Lean Team management
Lean teams face unique challenges, decisions, and dynamics that come with managing constrained resources (aka: doing more with less). As a leader, you’re tasked to streamline processes, optimize team efficiency, enhance productivity, and foster a positive culture within your organization, even when things are tight.
Strategic thinking & prioritization
Equip yourself to make informed, business-forward decisions and focus on what actually matters. I’ll help you envision the bigger picture, set clear priorities, tune out strategic distractions, and drive your organization towards long-term success.
Organizational Development
Growth begets critical organizational decisions, the impacts of which persist well into the future. Build a resilient and adaptable organization as your team grows, and work through effective strategies to drive change, build culture, improve structures, and enhance overall organizational effectiveness for sustainable growth.
Feedback & Performance Management
It should be empowering to drive excellence and accountability on your team, even if the prospect feels daunting. Learn to deliver constructive feedback effectively and implement performance management strategies that foster continuous improvement and high achievement.
Career Development
I’ll help you align your career path with your professional goals and personal priorities. My coaching supports you in identifying growth opportunities, enhancing your skills, becoming a strong self-advocate, and placing ambitious career goals in the larger context of your life.
