Key coaching strength is coaching to the level of being, bringing compassionate accountability to the coaching process, resulting in organizational fabric of greater strength and longevity. Bringing Psychological Safety allows participants to dig deep, be completely authentic with themselves, say what is too uncomfortable to say out loud, and finally get it resolved.
I hold that coaching is both a science and an art. The science side comes naturally, and is fed by my fascination with neuroscience and procedural outcomes. The art is mystery and beauty, and lets me know there will always be more to learn. The combination brings curiosity and discovery, cornerstones of coaching.
My coaching style is one of multiple perspectives; I will always bring another view, along with humor and challenges, all wrapped in a blanket of compassion and warmth that supports connection and dynamic outcomes.
Experienced in international projects, facilitated workshops, and held space for large cross functional teams to bring forth desired outcomes.
I believe that one can be simultaneously logical and creative if they receive encouragement and are willing. Passions include tending food forests, trying to keep up with my Basenjis, and indulging my fascination with the neuroscience of human behavior and communication.
