Leadership Institute of Seattle

As a coach and facilitator, I begin by recognizing your 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.

Those who have worked with me report:

  • heightened self-awareness and wellbeing
  • more satisfying connections, both professional and personal
  • greater systems awareness
  • a clearer sense of purpose
  • confidence and creativity in situations that once seemed daunting

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 someone 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
