After a decade of working in the digital, technology and consulting space, I have first hand experience with how difficult it can be to motivate, inspire and keep great talent. The high growth and fast paced nature of this industry provides unique leadership challenges.
I understand what leaders are up against in their workforce. I have also witnessed that a little bit of investment in those leaders, helping them to be authentic, centered and motivating in the face of challenges, can create a culture of belonging.
Through transformational coaching anyone can build a culture that fosters growth and productivity and can empower a team that chooses to stay despite a constant influx of recruiter messages!
- I am a Leadership Coach, helping leaders uncover their authentic leadership style or find their leadership confidence.
- I am a Certified Strengths Communicator, fluent in the language of Strengths. I listen for, promote and advocate for Strengths in others and help apply the language to teams.
- I believe in the importance of seeing what’s right with people and their talents rather than working on “gaps”.
- I feel most alive in my work when I have the opportunity to help people find ways to grow their skills, develop their talents and discover ways to love their work.
- I have been described as providing “the glue” in organizations, aligning people to initiatives, individual experience to company purpose.
- I believe in a human centered approach to problem solving.
- I lead with Radical Candor (Kim Scott) and don’t shy away from delivering compassionate yet challenging feedback to help people grow.
- My answer to the classic ice breaker question “what is your superpower” is that I build trusted relationships quickly through vulnerability, curiosity and candor.
- There is no better way to build community than through laughing at work. I foster comfortable, inclusive, productive work environments.
I love learning new things, meeting new people, and discovering new places. I say what I’m grateful for as often as I feel it. My husband, my 2 young boys and my cat Yoshi are the best inspiration for dreaming big and doing good every day.
It’s nice to meet you.
