Coaching and Leadership Development

My passion is to empower individuals to live in alignment with their values and strengths

and bring their best self to their relationships and communities.

As a Coach, Facilitator and Mediator I center human relationships, mindfulness, and

communication in my work. I know that at the heart of growing communities and

organizations is growing each unique person. I have 25 years of experience exploring

both the art and science of adult development while asking leaders to stretch inward for

a more embodied leadership to cultivate connected and trusting teams. My workshops

and coaching focus on the deeply human need to learn and innate desire to realize

one’s full potential.

A front-row seat in how humans relate in groups and organizations has provided insight

into how much time and energy  is spent on avoiding what is difficult (conversations,

people, and projects) managing people’s impressions, seeking external validation, while

longing for more confidence to be authentic. Drawing on the wisdom of Adrienne Maree

Brown, Brené Brown, Resmaa Menakem, David Whyte and leadership pioneers from

Minds at Work and the Presencing Institute, I share insight on ways to achieve personal

transformation and overcome obstacles to change. My work aligns with the inner

development goals (being, thinking, relating, collaborating, acting) put forth by the UN

as a pre-requisite for all sustainable global change. 

I have an MA in Comparative Education from the University of Maryland College Park,

am a Co-Active trained coach, Mediator, and Minds at Work trained facilitator. My

decades of experience in coaching, adult development, human resources and the co-

operative movement create a unique alchemy of lightness, wisdom and a listening

presence.
