What’s Possible
About Me
Are you struggling in a new role at work and dealing with the pitfalls of imposter syndrome? Have your kids ‘flown the coop’, leaving you with not only an empty nest but an empty sense of self? Are you struggling in your personal relationship and wondering if this is really all there is? Have you crossed the career finish line to retirement and feel suddenly unsure of what you want in this next chapter?
These situations and more can cause you to feel uncertain and unclear about what it is you really want. I’ve worked with numerous clients who found themselves in big life transitions and knew they wanted more but didn’t know how to get clarity. I have seen the positive impact that coaching can have to help people identify what they want and to confidently start taking the steps to make it happen!
Coaching is my passion and now my full time focus after a successful 30-year career at an innovative, people-focused and growth-oriented company where I helped shape the culture through strategic communication, employee engagement and people leadership. In my coaching practice, I’m able to leverage my career expertise in communication strategy if that fits with a client’s needs. I’ve collaborated with Executive leaders, individuals and organizations to discover what’s possible, and I'd love to work with YOU!
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one WILD and precious life?”

How I became a coach…
I absolutely love to help clients experience joy in their life, and to help them discover what they really want. My interest in coaching started in 2010 when I was personally working with a coach to navigate the end of my marriage and all the life transitions that came along with that major decision. It was a tough time, and I found tremendous value in the positive, forward-looking approach of my coach. I vowed that someday I would provide that kind of support for someone else.
My formal coach training is through Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, CA, where I completed the Evidence Based Coaching Program in 2019. In 2021, I earned my International Coaching Federation (ICF) credentials as a certified Coach and have over 200+ hours (and counting) of client coaching experience. I am also a certified practitioner/facilitator of the MBTI personality assessment, the Working Genius Productivity Tool and the ‘Five Behaviors of a Team’ model.

What is Coaching?
Coaching creates a path for you to get clear about your goals and to discover what you want in your career and in your life. As your coach I will ask purposeful questions to help you identify and remove barriers to personal or professional development, be available for brainstorming, listen openly and supply objective feedback and ideas.
Coaching is not the same as therapy, but I will take a holistic approach that may look at various aspects of your life. My approach is people-focused and value-centered, working with your strengths to reach new potential. I support you as a capable and resourceful person, and you will hold yourself accountable for progress towards desired change and goal attainment.
Coaching can provide a wonderful support process to make desired change and find the spark to achieve meaningful goals in your life. I strongly believe that every person is unique, creative, capable and responsible for moving themselves forward. A person will get out of coaching what they put into it, and it is my sincere desire for my clients to gain every possible benefit from our coaching partnership.
I look forward to the opportunity to work together!
