Individual Coaching

I am an ICF Certified (ACC) Coach; I consult on behalf of clients with an emphasis on career / leadership (+ personal growth) acceleration. Because the professional is always personal.

My twitter bio says: “Badass adjacent. Some days I crush it. Most days, I’m just human.” That pretty much sums it up. In other words, I’m not perfect, but I will work my ass off for you. I’ve, proudly, been a coach, consultant and counselor since 2014.

I spent the previous 17 years in media/advertising sales, so I’m well-versed in what it takes to get promoted, how to lead, how to succeed individually & on a team. Caveat: my best learnings were through mistakes and missteps!

WHY HIRE A PROFESSIONAL COACH?

There are times in our lives when we need additional support to grow in the right direction.

  • Overwhelming, confusing transitions (including getting your dream job or big promotion)
  • Times you are contemplating making change (career change, relationship evolution, big milestones)
  • Times of crisis or forced change (job loss, divorce, death of a loved one)

My practice is an empathetic and actionable support to help you make pro-active, tangible change. Simply put, I’ll supply the motivation for you to “go for it.” And if you don’t know what your “it” is, we’ll discover that together!

Maybe you are considering changing careers, or you are struggling as a newly promoted leader. Maybe you feel stuck, but are having trouble articulating why. If the old ways of coping aren’t working & you want to examine and cultivate your life in a new way, schedule a free consultation.

more about my practice & pricing ...

Utilizing the skills of a Coach is an opportunity to create and implement a new way of life. 

One that embraces your unique contribution to the world. One that is free of fear.  One that feels like coming home.

After a free 20-30 minute initial consultation, you can choose a package of sessions (see pricing below). In these (1) hour sessions, we’ll openly explore your goals, desires & fears. The only expectation is a willingness to wonder, what if. From there, we’ll develop your customized plan, designed for your individual purpose and fulfillment.

Our sessions can be over Zoom or Teams (I will gladly be back “in person”, post Covid).

Packages & Pricing:

Brand Positioning package:

This package focuses on developing your personal brand to best position yourself in the competitive work environment and in life. This work is an opportunity to solidify your leadership style. The emphasis will be on emotional intelligence, harnessing your natural energy, and building self-confidence. In no time, you’ll command rooms and slay dragons. $1799.  Includes: 8 sessions, 2 bonus 15 minute “911” sessions, and regular email/text communication between sessions.

Career Advancement package:

Lean in. Bail Out. Climb the Ladder or is it a Jungle Gym? It doesn’t matter. This package is all about getting where you want to go at work, more quickly. More passion, more freedom, more money. $1499. Includes: 6 sessions and email/text communication between sessions.

Negotiate Like A Boss package: 

Don’t just take the job offer, instead Negotiate your Worth. Like a Boss. $750. Includes: 3 meetings; setting negotiation strategy, assessing the offer, and developing your counter offer, and of course closing the deal/getting the job.

OTO (One Time Only) package:

This is not for the faint of heart. This is for the self-motived and self-directed. We dig in deep, fast. You’ll share a bit about your current situation, and from there, I’ll give you my unfiltered “tough love” recommendations + a set of tools you’ll utilize on your own, moving forward. $350. Includes: 1 (hour & :30 minute) session.

The foundation of each of these packages is the same: the courage and desire to change. Change yourself and you inevitably change your situation. But it takes guts to grow.

To ensure accountability + progress and maximize success, your package must be utilized within a 3 month window.

If you can’t shake the feeling that where you are just isn’t where you’re meant to be, let’s talk. And it’s all good news, by the way; having a healthy, humbling uncertainty about what steps to take is simply the beginning of what’s next.

Here’s a bit more about my Coaching philosophy: I believe we each have an individual purpose here on this planet; yet we are inextricably connected to each other. This means we have a responsibility to ourselves and each other. It also means we don’t have to go it alone. Even though it can sometimes feel like the weight & the pain is all ours to bear; support shows itself in miraculous, unexpected ways.

The highest intention of my work is to inspire individuals to lead more courageously and authentically to develop themselves (and others) for more gratification.

And to examine what’s working and what’s not in the incumbent systems of business, government & moral authority for both men and women. To prioritize more joy, more meaning, more success, through a balanced lens and with systems that support a new paradigm of living and working. A paradigm works for FOR ALL OF US, regardless of gender. I strongly believe when women have a more equal seat at the table, everyone will eat well.

I try to live a life of intention, which keeps me most aligned with joy and peace.

But don’t misunderstand me.

I’ve been disappointed, hurt, and at times badly shaken. The sheer joy and freedom of arriving on the other side of this darkness, back into the light, is what inspires me to help others with their own journey.

Human Capital is the most precious resource a company has.  There are tons of stats about the high cost of rehiring & retraining vs. retention, so when considering the bottom line, it’s a no brainer to invest in your employees.  There is also a ton of research around happier employees being more productive employees.  Again, that bottom line!

One mutually beneficial way to invest in your employees is training.

  • Not working at all gave many space to reimagine what work might be

    Not working at all gave many space to reimagine what work might be

    This isn’t news: The problem every company seems to be struggling with right now – a new way to work. Do we compel employees to go back to the office? Do we do 100% remote? Do we do a hybrid, and if so …how many people / shifts / where/ when / how, etc. The arguments for all, are compelling and valid. Here’s something I’ve noticed though… employers and employees alike (and the media) keep crediting (blaming?) the…  read more
  • Are your personal values in alignment with the company’s values?

    Are your personal values in alignment with the company’s values?

    As people search for more gratification at work – and maybe for the first time, feel entitled to it – there’s a great barometer for finding more meaning in your job.  Be it in your current role, or as you search for something new. Your own unique values. Just like companies proudly promote their values or commitments on their websites, you, too, have a set of values that are core to who you are as a person.  Core…  read more

    Let J.Lo be J.Lo, and You be You.

    Everyone’s got shit to say about the Super Bowl Half Time Show.  Some of it was good. Thankfully. But there were plenty of criticisms about Shakira and J.Lo during and immediately following the show.  A show where they absolutely flawlessly nailed their performances, including singing, dancing, playing instruments, and weaving Feminist (Humanist?) themes throughout. Most heard criticism on my feed: “40 and 50 year old women appearing way too sexy. Cover your kids’ eyes. That’s not family…  read more
“I am incredibly grateful for what you pull out of me and encourage me to dig deep and push for within myself, as a coach. Coach isn’t even the right word to express what your role in my life has given me and led me to.”
