My Story

With over 25 years of experience in adult learning, leadership development and coaching, I’ve dedicated my career to helping leaders elevate their self-awareness, confidence, and impact. Holding a Master’s degree in Adult Learning and Human Resources from Virginia Tech, I specialize in designing and delivering high-impact leadership programs that drive meaningful change and growth.

​

As a Professional Certified Coach, Certified Behavioral Consultant, EFT Practitioner, and author of "It's Time for Some Next Level SHIFT," I bring a holistic approach to leadership development. I emphasize the importance of self-awareness, success management over traditional change management, focusing on positive, and constructive conversations that rally teams around new possibilities. My clients span industries, from non-profits to engineering firms and government contractors, all benefiting from a shift in mindset and a boost in performance.

​

I am continuously learning and staying ahead of industry trends and regularly participate in learning events and volunteer work with the International Coaching Federation (ICF), Association for Talent Development (ATD), as a mentor and guide for others who seek guidance in this amazing area of work.

My Inspiration, Values, Philosophy & Approach

My work is inspired by the curiosity and beauty found in nature. In fact, I'm obsessed with clouds. The shapes and dimensions, depth, height, and breadth of how they take up space in the expansive sky, there’s always something new to discover when I take a moment to pause and look up. I bring this same sense of wonder and exploration to my coaching, helping leaders uncover their potential, see things from new perspectives, see things that aren't always obvious, and encourage them to pause and LOOK UP! 

​

My Core Values:

  • Authenticity: Living my truth means staying aligned with my values, even when life pulls me in different directions. Authenticity is my compass, helping me recalibrate when needed. People who know me know I speak my truth and show up curiously, with a hint of sass and a lot of determination. 

  • Accountability: I honor my commitments, follow through on my promises, and strive to deliver beyond expectations. Whether in personal or professional relationships, I hold myself accountable to be clear, communicative, and dependable.

  • Creativity: Creativity is the lifeblood of my work, whether it’s through art, writing, or innovative coaching and consulting methods. It fuels my passion and helps me approach challenges with fresh, transformative perspectives.

  • Growth: From adventure, to learning, to embracing full expansion, growth means a lot to me. I commit to learning every day and exploring ways to tap into passions that can help me and others do what brings them most joy. This growth comes with fear, discomfort and even pain but the only way out is through, so sitting with and accepting these emotions is part of the journey.

  • Impact: I am driven by a desire to make a meaningful difference. Grounded in research and data, I focus on creating measurable value and positive outcomes for my clients and their organizations.

 

We all have unique experiences, beliefs, and backgrounds that shape us, but we also share a universal capacity for resilience. If we recognize how we stand in our own way, we can rewrite our stories for success. It all begins with understanding who we truly are.

​

When we are clear on who we are and operate in a way that is in alignment with our true selves, it becomes easier to show up in service of and to more effectively and energetically lead others to their goals. This evolution is grounded in my WHO-BE-DO model which highlights the importance of grounding yourself in WHO you are so you can BE that person in all you DO. 

​

The factors that limit us reside within us.

 

These limitations are based on what we believe, what we expect, how we respond, and what we choose. If we can create intentional space to hit the pause button on our ego, limit and shift self-judgment, dismiss comparison, and manage our expectations and responses to ‘fake’ threats, we have access to the recipe for designing and accelerating the success story we have yet to write.

The WHO-BE-DO Development Model
Leading from the Inside-Out

Learn more about this model in this 13-minute video.

WHO

At the core of the model is the "Authentic Self," representing the essence of who you are. This encompasses your values, beliefs, experiences, and unique characteristics. Understanding and embracing your authentic self is crucial for genuine leadership. Focusing on WHO involves evaluating thought patterns, strengths, values, and limiting beliefs while fostering habits of gratitude and acceptance. This journey leads to conscious behaviors aligned with our true selves, fostering ease, peace, and flow. As our internal state shapes our external reality, regular calibration and alignment to WHO we are brings us closer to desired outcomes. 

BE

The next layer focuses on "BE," which refers to the way you present yourself to others. It involves aligning your actions with your authentic self and recognizing how you are showing up to others energetically.  BE represents the transformative nexus where we engage with others, yielding both complexities and enriching relationships. These interactions serve as mirrors, reflecting aspects of ourselves that may otherwise go unnoticed. By aligning with our authentic WHO, we empower ourselves to express freely and pursue meaningful actions. â€‹Focus here fosters confidence, self-worth, and respect, enhancing feelings of value in relationships and behaviors that improve the quality of relationships.

DO

The outer layer, "DO," represents your actions. It’s about taking actions that are consistent with your authentic self. When your actions align with who you truly are, they are more effective and impactful, leading to genuine results. While most people operate here in doing, excellence here relies on alignment of WHO we are and how we are BEing. â€‹This phase delves into understanding motivations, limitations, and capabilities, facilitating action within an inspiring and efficient timeframe. â€‹
