Coaching for when you want to go the distance.
Coaching Is a Partnership
We work together to remove your barriers and reach your goals.
Clarify
You may feel stuck, lost, and unsure of what you truly want, or you may come to the table knowing exactly what you have your sights set on. In both cases we’ll work together to explore and refine what you want to achieve and as you reach those achievements, we’ll continue to clarify what’s next.
plan
A plan only works if it’s built for you, so whether you’re looking to communicate more effectively at work or at home, or you’re hoping to establish a healthier approach to your day to day, I’ll help you to develop the steps that are necessary for you to get there.
accomplish
Life is distracting, motivation is hard to maintain, and let’s face it, if we’re not getting in our own way, someone else very likely is. Through our work I will provide you with tools and techniques to stay on track, ensuring you accomplish the goals you’ve set for yourself.
your coach
I’m a former healthcare executive, mother of two, and avid runner.
I spent nearly four decades building my career, pivoting along the way to maximize my skill set and growth. I’ve built teams, mentored leaders, optimized quality of care and business returns. My work has required building relationships, mastering effective communication, seeing the big picture and the details, and keeping myself motivated through it all.
My family’s favorite thing to say to me is “why don’t you go climb a mountain” because of my endless energy. That energy led me to train for marathons starting in my late 40s. Fitness has always been a part of my life, especially running. Though if I’m being honest, I prefer half marathons these days.
In 2019 my husband of 37 years passed away. I’m lucky to know just how much work a marriage, or any long-term relationship requires. I also understand now what it means to rebuild and find your way when your life is radically changed.
I share this because all of my life experience, both good and bad, is what allows me to support you in all aspects of yours.
