Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions.
I work with clients one-on-one in either 60 or 90 minute sessions. I focus on asking questions designed to help clients see the challenge they are facing as "theirs" to solve with what they can control rather than feeling like they are "victims" of things they cannot control. I give clients specific, relevant "homework" that they agree to do in order to move toward their goal. I hold clients accountable for doing this work between sessions. If they do not complete agreed upon tasks, we explore what happened and why.

New Leader Coach | Former VP at Ahold, Cracker Barrel, Ex-Hershey | Harvard
Got a difficult boss? Struggling to influence without authority? Leading a team for the first time? I help ambitious professionals navigate the people side of career growth: managing up, building influence, handling workplace politics, leading teams, and preparing for promotions. Over the past year, I've coached dozens of professionals from organizations including Deloitte, PayPal, Liberty Mutual, The Hershey Company, as well as mid-market companies and startups. My clients have successfully earned promotions, transitioned into leadership roles, improved relationships with managers, increased their influence across teams, and navigated challenging workplace situations with greater confidence. Before becoming a coach, I spent 20+ years in leadership roles at Hershey, Ahold, and Cracker Barrel, where I led teams, developed leaders, and made hiring and promotion decisions. My clients have earned promotions, landed stretch assignments, successfully managed difficult bosses, built stronger teams, increased their visibility with senior leaders, and developed the leadership skills needed to advance their careers. My role is to help you get there faster.
