I help professionals get moving in their career. I’m your guide to gain confidence and clarity in your path forward with tools from a confidential coaching program. I believe the approach of “everyone before me figured it out on their own, so I can figure it out” is outdated and unnecessarily stressful. I dream of the day when everyone has a “great boss” with plenty of time and skills for career development conversations, but unfortunately we aren’t there yet. I’ve had my own moments rallying my nerve to ask about a promotion. I’ve wrestled with decisions on whether to change departments, or even leave a company. I’ve also held my breath as I released my reliance on technical expertise as my source of credibility, authority, and validation, with blind faith that I’d get them some other way. Looking back, there are insights and skills I wish had developed earlier in my career. That’s why I got certified as a leadership coach, started my business, and wrote a book (“Wallet on the Rental Car Roof: A Guide for Young Professionals Growing their Leadership Skills”.) I’m your guide to feeling excited for your current role and your future career paths.
