A Bit About Me

With over two decades of experience in high-volume retail management (a jack of all trades), I am finally focusing on what is most passionate to me: foundational leadership. Building and growing leaders is my strength and passion. I focus on partnering with leaders to gain a solid vision for their leadership platform and vision to create a successful and wholehearted approach to their leadership style. We explore several tools and processes to define your preference, Emotional Intelligence, values of alignment, cultural priorities, and habits and desires.

I am a certified Executive and Professional Coach credentialed with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I earned my certification through The University of Texas at Dallas.

MY STORY

I started my professional career by working in high volume retail. I used this time to refine my people and management skills. Through the years, I realized that retail was not my calling, but developing strong leaders was. I wanted to do something more to support people in building their foundation for their personal leadership styles.

I signed on the UTD's coaching leadership program and realized this was my calling. Not only had this positively impacted my professional career, but this had also shifted my family outlook as well.

I have been married to Chris for 24 years, we have 2 beautiful children and one new son-in-law. We have multiple dogs that we love like kids and we enjoy camping whenever we get the chance.

My Philosophy

Coaching is a partnership between the client (That's you!) and the coach (Me) that focuses on finding solutions and a path forward from the current place.

A solution-focused approach in coaching means that we focus on what is occurring that is working and minimize what is not working. I use my P.E.A.C.E. process to guide the path forward. We ask "What ultimately needs to change and how we can facilitate that change in a way that still aligns with WHO we are and our values".

Together, we focus on potential solutions to issues without dwelling on the problems; we focus on the future, as it creates a more valuable outcome than focusing on the past. We work together to help you progress in small steps rather than giant leaps (Those can be scary!) to ensure the sustainability of change and growth.

I believe in the importance of self-determined change as people have more motivation and drive to make essential and valuable changes for their development. Clients sometimes need to question existing self-limiting beliefs, permit themselves to move into discomfort, and create new behaviors that may not initially feel authentic. I will partner with you to find a way to be genuine in your changes so that they flow naturally, are authentic, and align with your values over time.
