Profile

One of my favorite quotes is from Maya Angelou, “When you know better, you do better.”  It is my aim that my clients get to know themselves and their natural talents better, so they can go out and do better in their careers, in their lives, and in the world – to be empowered to be impactful.

I have been very fortunate to work in a variety of businesses and organizations over the past 25 years – everything from large international corporations, to network marketing companies, to faith-based communities, to small businesses, and owning my own business.

I coach what I know best – The challenges of business ownership, managing a team, and guiding young adults. With a certification as a Gallup Strengths Coach and additional training in Positive Intelligence, I create workshops, facilitate small group coaching, and provide one on one coaching for my clients. I also enjoy sharing insights on strengths and mindset by delivering keynote addresses and talks to groups of all sizes.

Having been a manager for over 10 years, I have a passion for working with managers and teams.  Understanding personal and team dynamics is integral to building and sustaining positive momentum.  In most organizations, managers have the most difficult jobs because they are so multi-faceted.  Not only do they manage a team of employees who have to get their jobs done, but most often they have their own tasks and responsibilities that are in addition to managing the team.  Figuring out how to keep the individuals on the team motivated and engaged, while also excelling to reach personal objectives is the challenge.  I can help you navigate the course that will help you figure out how to best meet this challenge using your natural talents and strengths. I am a champion for putting strengths into action to reach an objective!

My heart has always been with teens and young adults.  With knowledge gained obtaining an MS in Higher Education Student Affairs from Indiana University, connections with Administrators at colleges and universities, and my own experience as a parent of a young adult, I facilitate workshops and provide 1:1 and small group coaching for teens and young adults.

As a coach, I customize my services to make sure you achieve your goals and have a sustainable plan to be engaged and successful.  My dominant themes include Relator, Achiever, Discipline, Harmony, Responsibility, Focus and Communication. If you are looking for a coach to support you to create a plan to reach goals, and have fun doing it – look no further!
