You deserve to invest in yourself and be in control of your life and career. My unique style is the ideal blend of empathy and pragmatism, which will drive the most efficient, lasting, and impactful outcomes for you and your team. I offer a strengths-based approach to my coaching, and I am a Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths Coach as well.
1) Private Coaching
Work & life are very intertwined and the single common element is yourself. My offerings for individuals focus on developing the self, so that you can show up as the best version in your career and your life. My career growth programs and private coaching sessions are all dedicated towards driving more purpose, confidence, and growth within you.

2) Workshops, Webinars, Training
If you’re trying to develop or inspire a team, this is right for you. As a UC Berkeley Extension Instructor for the Leadership & Management Certification Program, I infuse research-based teaching while creating a human-centered learning environment.
I offer group coaching, customized workshops, webinars, and/or training sessions on leadership development, communication & storytelling, and more. These will build trust, bring valuable insights, and drive group learning in a collaborative environment. Most importantly, we will discuss concepts and uncover practical techniques to apply to real-world situations.
