Here are some fun facts about me...

Core Values

Integrity

Creating  trust and safety in a coaching conversation is what gives the client the space to explore beyond what they might on their own. That means we, as coaches, have to walk our talk, do what we say and be a role model.

Love/Compassion/Kindness

 I sincerely believe that coaching mastery is the secret sauce to authentic, respectful conversation that is based on unconditional positive regard. That energy will automatically change the world.

Non-judgemental

For change to take place, it is essential to create a space where anything can be spoken, where the partnership is so secure that even when things get messy, the client feels seen, heard and understood.

Spirituality

The basic foundation of my life is connection to source. To that end, we will often look at the  bigger picture and explore your spiritual journey .
