About Coaching

I see you. I get it.

I know all about the high-octane, high-stress executive life you’re leading.

You’re a consistent, tireless driver of excellence. And you always deliver with exceptional quality, each and every time.

You lead teams, chart the course, and crush goals like nobody’s business. Always backed up by meticulous analysis.

And I know all about the hefty price you’re paying…

There’s the unreciprocated caring…

In 2020, your company’s business probably came to a screeching halt overnight. Mine did, too.

You worried about what would happen to everyone in the company, not just those reporting to you. We can’t help but care… it’s in our nature.

But your caring wasn’t reciprocated (it never is). Everyone just withdrew into their bubbles, making your previously lonely existence even more devastating.

There’s always the need to soldier on…

You held it together to give your team direction and purpose through this massive uncertainty. Your own struggles had to be shelved.

Even when we’ve been traumatized (and that’s what it is, a trauma), we’ve had to bear it alone. Carrying all this burden alone, we feel abandoned and forgotten.

Ask anyone in the military: “What’s the worst form of torture?” They’ll tell you that it’s extended solitary confinement. That’s how we feel sometimes…we feel tortured.

There’s the crushing loneliness…

The higher you go up the corporate ladder, the lonelier it gets. You don’t have any true allies who have your back. Everyone is too busy in self-preservation mode, even if unconsciously so.

It takes more and more energy to summon your inner strength to go it alone in this race. How much longer can you keep this up?

There’s a reason why we’ve found each other…

It’s so that I can help you accomplish your mission.

You were born to compose an extraordinary life of great love and service as a leader. You know that’s your holy truth.

Imagine…

…going to bed every Sunday night, excited to embrace another Miracle Monday. All your creative ideas often dismissed as too much? Your undeniable fire and passion? All finally put to great use!

…loving what you do so much that it seems time simply expands to fit everything you want to do. “Working” becomes so enjoyable that you don’t feel stressed or spent – you’re doing what you truly love.

…feeling so much ease, abundance (in relationships and financial rewards), and, most of all, deep meaning and purpose… that you want to pinch yourself to make sure you aren’t just dreaming!

Sounds like a pipedream? That’s MY life. Working with me, you’ll create yours.

Here’s how I can help…

You’ve long committed to being the best you can be. Therefore, you’ve invested in developing yourself over the years. You know there’s no magic pill I can give you that will dissolve all your troubles.

But there’s a lot that I can give you…

I can help you confidently access wisdom and answers anytime you need them.

You will no longer be at the mercy of the circumstances that created the pain and loneliness hurting you. You will know how to skillfully access what you need to overcome any challenge keeping you from being the leader you were born to be.

And this can happen rather quickly, without protracted digging into who or what is responsible for your pain. Ultimately, while that detective work is illuminating, it alone doesn’t solve your problem.

We won’t waste precious time on what you have no control over. Instead, we’ll hone the terrains over which you have 100% agency, ownership, and accountability.

Through a unique blend of innovative yet proven tools, I can help you quickly and effectively alleviate your emotional pain. We will clear its stranglehold on you so that you can confidently own, trust, and express your intuition, creativity, and empathy in how you lead. I will show you how to do that for yourself.

About Me

Like you, I’ve been through a few things in my time…

… including sexism, racism, and ageism. At times, all at once.

I’m a first in my family in many ways…graduated from high school…went to a foreign country for college at age 16…became a tenure-track assistant professor at Cornell…spoke at global conferences…became a female corporate executive.

To be the trailblazer meant I had to battle every step of the way to earn a place and to learn a lot of things the hard way.

And, yes, unfortunately, I experienced “me too” incidents as well, including one at a work event with all the power-differential clichés. I’m sure you can relate to how our corporate executive titles don’t protect our vulnerabilities as women.

These challenges didn’t make me bitter. They made me better.

They broke my heart wide open, prompting me to embrace forgiveness, love, compassion, and empathy.

They cultivated in me a deep capacity to hold human suffering. That’s what helps me transform pain into empowerment.

These experiences ultimately prepared me to help female leaders like you feel safe and confident to be everything you were born to be… and to inspire powerful male leaders to join us in changing the outdated norms permitting unacceptable harmful behavior.

My morals come largely from my spiritual life.

Most notably, I nearly died in 2008. While unconscious in the ICU, I was shown the world of pure, euphoric love and light from where my soul came. I wasn’t given a choice to transition, or I wouldn’t still be here. No… I was told I still had more to do in this life.

Like many corporate leaders, I’m on the soul path of success (Enneagram 3) in this life. Before I “remember” being none other than Love in human form, my fear-based ego had me believing that I had to earn acceptance and love through accomplishments. A bottomless pit.

Having grown, I’ve redefined success serving and sharing Love every day. This soul growth enables me to help my clients become WISE (wholehearted, inspired, soulful and embodied) executives.

Some of my training, credentials, and publications…

I have a Ph.D. in Communication Arts and Sciences and certifications in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Enneagram, and various coaching programs, including Miracle-Minded Coaching with Marianne Williamson.

I’m like a cat on my fourth life (although I’m allergic!): I’m an award-winning professor turned market research consultant, career and life coach turned corporate executive – now bringing it all together as an executive coach and strategy consultant.

Besides academic publications, I’m the author of REACH Your Dreams: Five Steps to be a Conscious Creator in Your Life. (REACH stands for Release, Envision, Act, Celebrate, and Honor). 

When I’m not working with clients like you…

Besides all things spiritual, I enjoy seeing the world, a good meal shared with good company, weekend tennis games, and writing poetry.

I also enjoy singing in the shower and my car. Trying to salvage some of the investments I made in voice lessons when I sang as a soprano and cantor many moons ago!
