What I am Commonly Asked

Your Questions Answered

Who do you work with?

In my experience, I see great opportunity to work with leaders who are on cusp of becoming senior leaders in the organization but lack the confidence, support and professional resources to reach the next level. I help you find your true authentic leadership style, see areas where you may be stuck through new perspectives and tap into what you are truly passionate about and who you want to be!

I also love working inside technology organizations to bring the human side of leadership to improve team effectiveness and communication. I work with professionals at all levels. I enjoy working with high potential employees who are trying to make the leap from individual contributor to leadership, new leaders and seasoned executives.

Lastly, I enjoy helping working professionals that are juggling outside responsibilities to find the balance between career, family and self. You have to make sure your three H's are the priority - Health (Physical/Mental), Happiness (Mind) and Home (Family)...without those, everything else is impacted.

What is coaching? And, how is it different from advising or mentoring?

I get asked this question a lot and I heard a great analogy on coaching vs. advising/mentoring. If you were learning how to ride a bike, a mentor/advisor would tell you about their experience, write out instructions for you to follow and get on the bike and ride it around to show you how it's done. A coach would have you get on the bike and you would drive where we should go. The coach would be with you along the way holding the handlebars and the back of the seat, cheering you on, and helping you face the bumps along the way! You may fall, but you get back up and keep going while never looking back. I am right here with you the whole time!

Coaching as defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) is partnering with clients in a creative and thought-provoking process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. As your coach, my role is to help you take that leap that you have been longing for...

What's the commitment? I am already so busy...

The commitment is up to you and where you are at in your journey currently. This is something we will define together based on where you are today and where you want to be. Yes, I am sure you are busy and where has that gotten you? I bet pretty far...And, investing a little time in yourself and your passions will pay lasting dividends down the road...What if you spent more time doing what you are passionate about and less time doing activities that bring no fulfillment...Take the time for you! It's the best gift to yourself and those around you...
