I’ve been in your shoes …

I spent twenty-two years in a corporate environment where stress, burnout, extensive travel, global working hours and lack of support were my normal modes of operation. When a lost opportunity for promotion was anchored to my inability to think strategically (sure, I did a lot of work, but was it good work?), I made a decision to focus on quality of life and career fulfillment, not just getting to the top. A renewed focus on my physical and mental well-being, and purpose for doing what I do, ultimately landed me at the Executive Leadership level for a 30,000+ person business unit within Accenture (global consulting and outsourcing).

This experience defined my current professional focus - coaching others to realize their personal and professional potential through a focus on themselves – physically, mentally and purposefully.

In addition to a certification in Holistic Health Coaching from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, I have twenty years of on the job executive coaching and leadership development work (during my career as an HR Director at Accenture) as well as facilitation, speaking and coaching experience.

I left the corporate world to do what I love most - help others navigate their ultimate success through their personal well-being. I currently manage my own Executive Health and Leadership Coaching business, have worked as a Performance Specialist for Tignum (an Executive Performance company), and am a Certified Thrive Global Facilitator, Certified Thrive Global Executive Coach, and contributing Thrive Global blogger.

I’ve been in your shoes. I have a unique understanding of your current reality having lived that life myself. My only goal is to help your company, your team and you find ways to move from personal and professional survival to sustained high performance.
