I am inspired by and curious about nature - all kinds - our physical world, human nature, the nature of things, and appreciate how we see things differently even if we are looking a the same thing. I pause often to look at cloud formations and find beauty in the smallest to largest natural objects. I'm often in awe of what I notice just outside my window every day. Like with nature, I keep the wonder in my work with clients. 

​

Living with intention through my values keeps me aligned to my purpose of service and creates better results in my life and the lives of my clients. My values are:

​

• Adventure - To me, this means a lot of things. Like seeing life as an adventure, staying open to new things, experiences, and whatever comes next, and figuring out how to build a little adventure into every day. In the literal sense, as a citizen of the US, Australia, and Switzerland and, a childhood filled with travel, the travel bug stuck with me. Whether via train, plane, or automobile, I like breaking up my routine to explore new and different things and foods.

• Authenticity- I keep getting better at learning what this looks and feels like for me. I do my best to live my Truth each day through my words and actions. When life pulls me in different directions, this value can be the toughest but the most important to recenter and recommit to.

• Accountability- I take commitments seriously and always do my best to follow up, follow through and, deliver based on clear expectations. Whether with friends, family, colleagues, or business partners, I take responsibility for my words and actions, do my best to uphold my personal boundaries, speak my truth, and seek to understand others' perspectives. 

• Creativity- Another personal value, guiding my behavior and decisions for a long time, is creativity. I rely on it daily and channel it through art, writing, and other forms of creative expression including my work and interactions with others. It's the 'juice' that feeds my soul.

• Impact - In whatever I take on, I'm keen on creating value and seeing a difference as a result of my time and efforts. I am research and data-driven and believe in measuring results. I also like to use facts rather than relying on assumptions, judgments, or opinions to move the needle.

​

Though we are all unique, what I recognize unites us as humans, is our backgrounds, experiences, conditioning, beliefs, value systems, and traumas (we have all experienced some trauma just to normalize that for you) wire us for resilience.

 

In fact, we have already survived 100% of our worst days. From this alone it is clear, very little is insurmountable if we are willing to recognize when and how we are standing in our way. So for each of us, our success starts and ends with US - it is an inside job!

 

So as a client with me, this is great news because you only have one person to focus on – YOU. When you are clear on who you are and operate in a way that is in alignment with your true self, 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 formula 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.
