ABOUT
LYNN
I help leaders and teams learn from their experience and context, build trusted strategic relationships, and collaborate to achieve meaningful goals.
As a coach and consultant, I begin by recognizing your and your team’s agency, strengths, and expertise. My role is to align myself with your goals, your purpose, your best interests. With this agenda, we explore and expand your interpretation of reality, clarify your circle of control, and expand your circle of influence.
Clients who work with me report:
- heightened self-awareness, self-compassion, and wellbeing
- more satisfying connections, both professional and personal
- greater systems awareness
- a clearer sense of purpose
- feeling confident in situations they before found intimidating
- finding creative opportunities in conversations that once seemed daunting
…resulting in meaningful changes and outcomes.
During my 30+ year career, I’ve worked in organizational development, communications, human resources, information technology, and project management with a global consulting firm, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations. My spouse’s sudden death in 2011 forced me to reconstruct my life and belief system — a process in which coaching was integral. I pushed myself out of comfort and into learning through three years of rock climbing, my own coaching certification, and a one-year volunteer placement in Malawi. My time there tested my adaptability, challenged my North American paradigms, and taught me the value of connecting across differences.
These experiences give you a coach and consultant who can:
- Stand with you in facing difficult realities
- Support you in courageous explorations
- Provide you with tools that orient you towards your values and purpose
- Honour your roots
- With you see new vistas and perspectives
- Celebrate your victories, big and small
