As a leadership coach and facilitator, you can count on me for authenticity, warmth and positive energy as we partner together to accelerate your growth, uncover your inner wisdom, and help you get unstuck. The DYL workshop I attended set in motion my desire to become an executive coach. I am a graduate of Georgetown University’s flagship program in Leadership Coaching and hold the PCC International Coaching Federation, Qualified Immunity to Change™ Map Facilitator and Leadership Circle Profile™ credentials. For sixteen years, I created and promoted transformational leadership development experiences for organizational leaders while working in executive education at Notre Dame. My early career was in consulting and financial analysis after graduating from the University of Notre Dame and Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. My husband, Jim, and I are proud parents of four adult kids. My favorite quote, “Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away,” reveals my belief that each one of us can create an energetic and inspiring life. I get really excited about living on purpose, cultivating a positive outlook and exploring our resistance to change.

As an ICF PCC coach, I work with university students up to mid career professionals and people exiting or forced out of work who want to lead their career, life, and leadership to its next evolution. I uniquely combine my Whole Person Life Coaching certification with both my extensive background in leadership development in the corporate world and my whole person life coaching certification. I help people discover, design, and lead a life that aligns to who they are and how they want to live. I believe work and life are intricately intwined with each other, not separate entities and they are also connected to our health and happiness. A niche for me is the busy working professional who feels disconnected from their life and/or health and wants to create more space for these. I also support leaders with a retreat from the grind to create a space for themselves and design work and life that is sustainable and life giving. My unique journey in both the corporate world and entrepreneurship led me to build the ‘Leaders Retreat’ and ‘Lead Your Life’ to help people create space in their busy lives to pause, reflect, create, and lead their one wild and precious life.

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.

I am a U.S. native (Philadelphia) who has lived and worked in Europe for 30+ years, including the last 24 years in Switzerland. In 2018-19 I took a break from my multi-faceted corporate career and thoroughly enjoyed a 16-month fellowship at Stanford’s Distinguished Careers Institute (DCI). Among other activities at Stanford I was very fortunate to have been a student of Dave Evans and Bill Burnett, co-founders of Stanford’s “Designing Your Life” program. Returning to Switzerland in 2000, I founded a consulting practice to work with a select group of start-up companies, NGOs, multinational organizations and academic professionals that are bringing truly innovative approaches to improving global health, healthcare delivery, healthy aging and sustainability/ESG. As a Stanford-certified DYL coach, I enjoy coaching and co-mentoring as part of my practice, incorporating the “designing your life” philosophy and tools I learned at Stanford.
