Coaching, as a form of thought partnership, creates a space for curiosity, self-reflection, and vulnerability–all of which help all of us become better leaders, colleagues, partners, and friends. Additionally, these actions help us become better listeners, more creative thinkers, and, ideally, help us to become more aligned with ourselves.

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) describes coaching as "partnering in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires a person to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership. When you work with a coach, you set out on a path to greater personal and professional fulfillment."

Our conversations will be rooted in thought provoking questions and reflection and sprinkled with creative prompts.

I will incorporate skills I've developed as a facilitator, communications professional, instructor, and leader. My approach to working with you will be creative and will focus on your strengths.

I will also incorporate learnings from a wide range of trainings I’ve engaged with, including Elaine Alec's Cultivating Safe Spaces, u-Lab Leading from the Emerging Future, the Institute for Equity Centred Coaching, and various communications, teaching, and facilitation trainings I’ve invested in over the years.

Guided by you and your expertise, we will find and co-design ways to move forward.
