I've spent more than 20 years inside the room where leadership decisions get made — not as a consultant brought in from the outside, but as a Talent and Leadership Development executive at companies like Dolby Laboratories, PlayStation, and Peet's Coffee.

​

That experience is what I bring to my coaching practice. I work with senior leaders and executives at two inflection points: growing into greater impact where they are, and figuring out where they want to go next. Sometimes those questions are separate. Often, they're the same conversation.

 

The pattern I see again and again: brilliant, capable people get stuck — not because they lack talent, but because they've spent years being indispensable at something that isn't taking them where they want to go. Whether someone is navigating a career transition, stepping into a bigger role, or trying to break through a ceiling they can't quite name, I know how to help them find a way through.

​

I've been there myself — across a career that has spanned organizational change, corporate communications, and broadcast journalism, every role required me to listen at a different level. My greatest asset as a coach is that ability to hear what's underneath — the patterns, themes, and possibilities that emerge when someone finally has space to think out loud. Today I use that same skill to help leaders figure out where they're stuck, where they want to go, and how to show up powerfully along the way.

​

My work is grounded in both real-world experience and professional rigor. I hold an M.S. in Organization Development from the University of San Francisco and am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation. I use tools like the Leadership Circle Profile (360) and MBTI as data-driven starting points — because good coaching isn't guesswork.

 

Whether we work together one-on-one or in a workshop setting, my goal is the same: helping you take command of your professional impact — on your terms.
