Different ways to do this work
Most coaching is sold as transformation, and most of it is marketing.
What I offer is quieter and more honest: a structured space to think clearly, hear yourself differently, and stop performing certainty. What’s useful depends on what you’re carrying right now. The work can be one-on-one, with your team, in a peer group, or in a facilitated room.
-
One-on-One and Team Coaching
A private place to step back and look honestly at what’s happening. It helps when you’re sorting through a decision, stretched thin, or rethinking your direction. Team coaching brings the same depth to a group.
-
Energy Leadership® Index Assessment
Most people know themselves until something hard happens. The ELI shows you what you actually do then. It’s a good first step before coaching, and it’s also available as a 360 for leaders who want feedback from the people around them.
-
Leadership Development
This is for anyone responsible for people or decisions, with or without a title. We look at how you lead in real life: how you behave when no one is watching, and how you treat people when you are tired.
-
Facilitation
Some conversations are too important to leave to chance. I design and guide the room for retreats, team resets, planning sessions, and leadership conversations, so the group can do its best thinking.
-
Peer Groups
A small group that meets over time, where capable people stop holding things alone. It becomes a kind of personal board of directors, a room where reflecting together changes what feels possible. Groups form when there are enough of the right people in the room.
-
Energy and Capacity
Energy is not just whether you are tired. We look at what drains you, what restores you, and what would give you more capacity over time. Some people start here with a short Energy Reset.
In more complex moments
Some of this work happens during caregiving, grief, an identity shift, or a serious diagnosis. In those moments, the focus moves from goals to making sense of what’s happening. This work doesn’t replace therapy or medical care.
From Clients
-
Capable, responsible people who are often doing well from the outside, but have reached a point where something no longer fits the way it used to. It can look like burnout, a transition, more responsibility than you know what to do with, or a quieter sense that something isn’t sustainable anymore. Some are deciding whether to leave. Others are staying and carrying something hard inside the job.
-
Coaching is a space to slow down and think clearly about what’s happening in your life or work. I work as a thinking partner, staying with what’s going on long enough for you to understand it. From there, decisions get less tangled and the next step is easier to see. I draw on Core Energy™ Coaching and the Energy Leadership® Index as tools inside that process.
-
A first conversation is the best place to start, and it usually makes the answer clearer than any page can. You don’t need a fully formed goal or a polished explanation. Some people want to think on their own, some want a small group, and some want a concrete starting point, which is where the ELI helps. There is no wrong door. There is just the one that fits what you are actually carrying.
-
Each session is a focused conversation about whatever feels most pressing. We start with what’s asking for attention, then look at what may be underneath it and which patterns keep showing up. Over time, you think more clearly and respond differently.
-
That’s often exactly the work. Sometimes what looks like burnout is something that has stopped fitting, in your work, your responsibilities, or the life you built without quite meaning to. It usually starts smaller than a search for purpose. What feels off right now? What matters more than it used to? What are you still carrying that was never really yours?
-
In a peer group, the value comes from the conversation itself, the structure that holds it, and the perspective that comes from people reflecting together. Group coaching includes more direct guidance from me. Both are useful, and they work differently.
-
The clearest test of how someone leads comes when something serious, a diagnosis in your family or a caregiving role you did not choose, asks more of you than you have ever had to give. That is usually where people either default to old patterns or find something steadier in themselves that they did not know was there. My work is to help you find the second one. It does not replace your medical team. It is a place to stay connected to your own judgment and your own footing while you carry something real.
-
Yes. I am an ICF certified coach and a Certified Professional Coach through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching, an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner, a COR.E Leadership Dynamics Specialist, a COR.E Transitions Dynamics Specialist, and a certified Cancer Journey Institute coach.
I am also certified in facilitation through IFO, which shapes how I design and hold peer group spaces. My background includes years in corporate and scientific settings, which shows up in how I think and how I work. Still, the credentials matter less than whether the work feels grounded and useful for what you actually need.
-
Confidentiality is a core part of the work. In one-on-one coaching, everything stays between us and is guided by professional ethics. In peer groups, confidentiality is an agreement the whole group makes. What gets said in the room stays in the room.
-
No. People come with very different needs, circumstances, and questions, so there’s no formula. What I can offer is a place to slow down, look clearly at what’s happening, and work from your real life. What comes out of that is yours.
Your questions answered
Let’s find the right starting point
You can combine these, and you don’t need to sort through the options alone. Some people come with one decision, and others are in a longer stretch of change or pressure. In a first conversation, we’ll look at what’s happening and which path fits.
