I want to see you reach your full potential. As your coach, I will be your thought-partner, and give you the space to discover the answers you need to be a better leader. I am an accountability partner, providing support and follow-up as you commit to the changes you want to see in your life.
People describe me as having a relaxed demeanor, being a kind and compassionate leader and patient listener. I have honed my craft through professional studies of leadership, coaching and counseling, as well as over 30 years of practicing and observing many leaders in many situations. I have seen the good and the not so good, and have learned from all of them.
The most important thing to me are my family & friends and life-long learning. My top values are family, teamwork, leadership, a strong work ethic, and learning.
Let's work together to discover your values and align your life around them.
