About Me
To establish an effective and collaborative coaching or leadership consulting, a good fit between us is essential. A phone or in-person meeting is the ideal way for us to establish how we’ll work together; in the meantime, I invite you to read on and do a little “homework” on me! I coach and organize for a living so let me help you do what I do best!
Through my education and experience, I understand relationship dynamics and I approach coaching and organizing from a systemic and holistic perspective. I absolute love being a coach and leadership training consultant and facilitator! Leadership coaching, executive coaching, leadership training, and consulting are my passion. And, I guide my clients in discovering passion in their lives. For a number of years I served as a human resource manager, recruiter, and placement coach, and am practiced in the art of good resume writing, job search strategies, and interview techniques.
