What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?

I focus on working with Millennials / Xennials to help them make Work work for them. My clients are high performing professionals, who are burned out, stuck, and without time and energy to see an alternative. We partner to identify and find the balance between who they are, what they want, and where they work. My coaching combines structured frameworks with creative brainstorming in order to unlock solutions that are hard for clients to see on their own.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?

The single most important thing that has contributed to my impact as a coach has been my own professional journey. I have made multiple transitions and had exposure to a variety of professional contexts, making it possible to see alternative paths. At the same time, most of my professional career has required me to focus on and understand others’ thinking, allowing me to communicate more effectively and connect quicker with clients.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?

Clients often tell me I’m “better than Advil” for resolving workplace headaches. My signature methodology
blends executive coaching, neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and business leadership concepts (with a splash of disarming humor) to quickly get to the root of even the most complex topics. I use my ‘Complexity Busting’ superpowers to quickly reduce stress and overwhelm, cultivate leadership influence, boost healthy productivity, improve trust and communication, create seamless accountability, align for team performance,
and harmonize work and life demands. Furthermore, all programs are systematically customized for maximum impact, and my “fast, fun, get-the-job-done” style ensures both quick wins and sustainable results.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?

My fascination with interpersonal dynamics is at the heart of my success as a coach. Not only does it
continually drive me to seek new insights and cutting-edge approaches, but it inspires me to truly see and
appreciate the uniqueness of every client situation – which invariably leads to more complete solutions and
far superior results. It’s my privilege to partner with leaders and organizations to discover and address the
hidden energy leaks and counter-productive habits that disrupt their effort, as well as the key factors that
fuel success – and workdays that are as energizing as their days off!
