Elevate Your Game

Expert Coaching for Individuals Seeking Growth and Accountability

Step up your game: Be more effective and make a real impact.

  • Clarity

    The key to conquering goals and overcoming challenges? Clear vision. It’s time to get real with your values and ethics. My coaching offers the space and process to cut through the noise and pinpoint obstacles.

  • Communication

    Effective communication sharpens your personal impact. You’ll stand out amidst the chatter, ensuring everyone truly gets your message. But stay approachable—leaders who are intimidating miss valuable input and connections. Stay clear, real, and open.

  • Collaboration

    Proper collaboration is a game-changer. When diverse work styles, perspectives, and expertise merge, the impossible becomes possible. But different workstyles can also lead to conflicts and stalled progress. The secret? Understand each other's work styles, perspectives, and expertise. Start by knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, and be willing to adapt.

  • Confidence

    Confidence is crucial. You can’t achieve much if you’re not comfortable with yourself. Self-deprecation and endless apologies are turn-offs. If you don’t take yourself seriously, how can others? Coaching with me will boost your self-awareness and self-trust. When you trust yourself, you’re at ease and your powerful presence creates a positive impact.

Who am I?

With over 25 years in the tech game and a sharp understanding of team dynamics and communication, I’m the go-to partner for clients ready to elevate their leadership, executive presence, and management skills. Curious about my journey? Check out my LinkedIn profile for the full story.

What am I passionate about?

I am passionate about coaching because I absolutely love adapting to bring out the best in my teams and peers (and sometimes my leaders). My love for communication fuels my curiosity about the complexities of human interaction, and I'm always looking for ways to make them more impactful. I thrive on solving problems and refining skills, treating each challenge as a puzzle to unlock the full potential of any given situation. And because of this passion, my curiosity and questions will help you gain clarity and navigate any situation where you’re looking to make a shift.

How am I different than other coaches?

A coaching relationship is a true partnership. I’m open-minded and warm-hearted, but I believe in being straightforward. If concerns or patterns come up that might hold you back, I’ll point them out—even when others might not. It’s always your choice how to address them, but together, we’ll bring them into focus. My commitment to you is solid, and while I value encouragement, I’m not all about the kumbaya. You can expect humor, a touch of dry wit, and a dash of lightheartedness to keep the process meaningful and engaging.

What can you expect from coaching with me?

I empower leaders, managers (from newcomers to seasoned executives), and individual contributors to:

  • Sharpen leadership and management skills

  • Resolve specific management or leadership challenges

  • Strengthen team connections

  • Enhance communication skills

  • Drive/Own accountability in specific projects

  • Elevate executive presence

Our journey begins with a 45-minute free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. From there, we’ll determine the right package for you.

If you have a single, straightforward topic, an hour should provide powerful insights. For more complex topics, we’ll spend 1-3 sessions exploring your goals and developing a robust action plan.
