What is your specialization and style of coaching?

I work with ambitious executives who respect expertise, crave substance over style, and are serious about leaving their organizations better than they found them. I bring proven, evidence-based frameworks to the complex, high-stakes work of leadership—meeting you where you are, then challenging you to go further. This isn't coaching for validation or quick fixes. Coaching is for leaders ready to get uncomfortable, face hard truths, and become leaders who don't just hit targets—they transform teams, cultures, and outcomes.

What types of clients do you enjoy working with?

I work with senior executives and emerging leaders—presidents, VPs, firm partners, and high-potential talent ready for their next challenge. Regardless of title, they share a common trait: they're committed to growth, willing to be challenged, and understand that great leadership requires both drive and authenticity.

What types of clients get the most value working with you?

High-performing leaders who are already succeeding but want more. They know their blind spots are what's standing between good and great, and they're ready to uncover them.

What’s inspiring you lately?

My husband and I split our time between Minnesota summers and Florida winters these days. I'm a lifelong learner—currently deep into understanding people and AI. But the work I do—helping leaders see their blindspots and unlock their next level—still lights me up every single day.

Anything else you want to include in your profile?

I've walked in your shoes. Before becoming a coach, I was an executive navigating the same high-stakes pressures, leading across multiple continents while raising my daughter (who's now 30 and thriving in Tokyo). I know what it's like to juggle impossible demands, make tough calls with incomplete information, and wonder if anyone will tell you the truth about your impact.
