HR leaders carry a unique kind of complexity. You’re translating business needs into human decisions, holding confidentiality, guiding leaders through messy situations, and trying to design systems that work for real people. You’re often the one helping everyone else regulate, think clearly, and move forward. That’s meaningful work, and it can be draining when the pace is relentless and the expectations are high. I coach HR leaders who want to grow their impact without getting swallowed by the work. We focus on influence, boundaries, communication, and decision-making in complex environments. We also look at how you’re leading yourself in the pressure of the role, because your internal state shapes how you show up in every high-stakes conversation. I use straightforward reflection tools and visual prompts to help you find clarity quickly when you’re pulled in competing directions. You’ll leave with stronger footing, clearer choices, and language you can use immediately with leaders, teams, and stakeholders.

I am so happy you are considering a career in Human Resources (or People, as they now call it!) A career change into HR/People is becoming more and more popular. I love this function and believe I am doing what I am meant to do. I would be happy to share interview tips, discuss my experience, and empower you on your journey into becoming a People person! I attended Stanford's MBA program with the intent of pivoting my career to Human Resources/People. After graduation, I did a rotational role at PayPal across learning and development, talent assessment, and performance reviews. I am now a People Partner reporting directly to the Head of People at Verkada. I operate as the Head of HR for the business units I support. I do "everything" including employee coaching, career laddering, performance reviews, employee relations, compensation, performance management - to name a few areas! I was also featured in LinkedIn's 2023 Workplace Learning Report video (1 of 5 global HR professionals).
