About Me

Empathy led coaching for high performing leaders, teams, and organizations.

I believe that exceptional leadership starts from the inside out. With over two decades of executive experience and holding certifications in emotional intelligence, NLP, life and executive coaching, I help leaders and teams unlock their full potential by blending emotional intelligence, strategic insight, and systems-based thinking.

I work with C-suite executives, HR professionals, and leadership teams who are navigating growth, conflict, transition, or performance plateaus.

Whether you're aiming to improve communication, retain top talent, build cohesive teams, or lead through change, you're in the right place.

What I Bring

Executive & Leadership Coaching
Real-time coaching that enhances self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and leadership effectiveness. I help leaders shift from reactive to responsive, especially in high-stakes environments.
Strengths-Based Development
Using tools like CliftonStrengths and EQ-i 2.0, I guide individuals and teams to operate in alignment with their natural talents, leading to better engagement, resilience, and performance.
Coaching for Leaders who Run on EOS®

As organizations adopt the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS®) outlined in Traction by Gino Wickman, I partner with EOS® Leaders to support behavioral change, accountability, and team dynamics—ensuring that Level 10 Meetings, Rocks, Scorecards, and IDS become more than just tools, but culture-shifting habits.
Custom Workshops & Retreats
From leadership off sites to wellness, centered retreats, I design and facilitate experiences that build capacity, trust, and strategic clarity.

Certified in EQ-i 2.0® Emotional Intelligence

As a certified EQ-i 2.0® practitioner, I use one of the most widely respected emotional intelligence assessments to help leaders understand how their emotions impact decision-making, collaboration, and performance.

When paired with Gallup CliftonStrengths, this becomes a powerful combination:

EQ-i 2.0 highlights your capacity to navigate stress, build relationships, and lead with composure.
CliftonStrengths identifies your natural talents and how to maximize them in your role.

Together, these tools allow leaders to grow not just in competence—but in consciousness. It's the foundation for creating high-trust environments where people thrive.

Let’s Work Together

If you're ready to create a high-trust, high-performance culture—or if you're implementing EOS and want leadership coaching aligned with that system—let’s talk.

“Empathy is my superpower. Alignment is my strategy. Transformation is the result.”

My Coaching Style

Rooted in Empathy. Driven by Results.

I believe real transformation begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. That’s why empathy is the foundation of my coaching practice. With decades of experience in empathetic leadership and helping bridge generational and organizational gaps, I create spaces where leaders feel safe to explore challenges, reflect deeply, and grow intentionally.

My approach blends evidence-based tools with holistic strategies, always customized to meet your unique goals. Whether you're aiming to enhance communication, overcome limiting patterns, or lead with greater authenticity, our work is centered on alignment between who you are and how you lead.

We’ll uncover what’s holding you back, clarify your vision, and design actionable strategies that move you forward with purpose, resilience, and confidence.

My Background

Deep Experience. Proven Impact. Human-Centered Leadership.

My coaching is grounded in over two decades of experience developing people and leading transformation, from the boardroom to the mountains.

As Chief People Officer at Maps Credit Union, I led initiatives that shaped culture, empowered teams, and built leadership capacity across the organization.

Since launching my private practice in 2004, I’ve coached and trained thousands of individuals to elevate performance, navigate transitions, and improve quality of life, both personally and professionally.

I hold certifications in executive and life coaching, Gallup Strengths, NLP, emotional intelligence (EQ-i 2.0), breathwork, mindfulness, and sylvotherapy (forest bathing). These tools, along with my ongoing personal growth work, allow me to meet clients with grounded presence and a strategic lens—especially in times of uncertainty, reinvention, or leadership challenge.

Whether you’re leading a team, a company, or your own next chapter, I bring the insight, tools, and heart to help you thrive.

Beyond Coaching

Grounded in Life. Inspired by Balance.

Outside of my coaching work, I prioritize living a full, connected, and meaningful life.

You’ll often find me hiking Pacific Northwest trails, paddling quiet waters, riding my motorcycle through scenic backroads, practicing yoga, or staying active with regular fitness routines.

I love spending time with family and friends, cooking, enjoying great wine or craft beer, and relaxing with vinyl records—and my loyal dog Mia always close by.

World travel is a deep passion of mine, as is sharing transformational experiences with others. Through VitalEdge Wellness Coaching, I co-lead immersive wellness retreats that combine personal growth, mindfulness, movement, and intentional rest.

These experiences ground me and reflect the same values I bring to my coaching: presence, vitality, and balance. Because leadership isn’t just about achieving more—it’s about living well.
