About Paula
As a professor of leadership and organization change, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my role as a Leadership and Career Coach. Over the years, I've had the privilege of coaching over 500 individuals, specializing in guiding early and mid-career professionals, new managers, and those undergoing job searches or career transformations. This work has honed my ability to help clients create effective professional development plans and successful job application materials. Whether you're looking to advance in your current role or pivot to a new career path, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's connect and start planning your career success!
Why do I coach?
I have been an ICF-certified coach for a dozen years and an amateur coach my whole life. People have always viewed me as someone to call when they need guidance on career decisions and transitions. You will find coaching with me to be an energizing way to make the changes you want in your career. Through my natural strengths of intuition, honesty, foresight, and humor, I create an engaging space for you to explore and improve your career. Together, we create practical, achievable steps to move you toward your goals. I'm the type of coach who likes to keep things light and purposefully infuse humor and playfulness.
