Leadership coaching isn't just a tool.
It's a strategic partner in navigating your on-the-job challenges.
It's about honing your ability to inspire, influence, and drive meaningful change in an environment that's as intellectually stimulating as it is demanding.
I am an ICF-certified coach who brings a perspective of 20 years in higher education, a decade in leadership positions working with upper administration, community partners, and donors, as well as a career working with elite performers across the globe.
A Trusted Confidant in Your Journey
My clients see me as a trusted confidant, sharing with me the good, the bad, and the difficult. I listen deeply, ask tough questions, and offer candid feedback. Our coaching sessions are designed to challenge you to confront and transform the beliefs, patterns, and fears that may be holding you back.
Authentic Leadership Development
Instead of molding you into a predefined leadership style, we work together to cultivate a leadership identity that resonates with your authentic self and inspires trust and loyalty among your peers and students. My goal is to equip you with the tools to navigate the pressures of higher education while maintaining a fulfilling personal life, ensuring your professional growth doesn't come at the expense of your well-being.
Limited Client Roster for Personalized Attention
To ensure that I offer each client the individualized and responsive attention they deserve, I work with a maximum of five clients at any given time. Once we decide to work together, your spot is secured for as long as you need. You have complete control over the structure of our sessions. Some clients seek targeted support for 4-6 months, while others choose to work with me long-term to continue their personal development.
Who I Coach
I coach new and aspiring leaders in higher education I'm best suited to partner with individuals who are not just driven but also curious, self-aware, and dedicated to their personal growth.

So, how can coaching help you?
New leaders face unique challenges that require developing new skills and perspectives. While knowing your job and its policies is essential, much of your success hinges on how you manage yourself and interact with others. Traditional leadership training, such as PowerPoint workshops or monthly check-ins with a peer mentor, often falls short. To achieve lasting results, leaders must commit to ongoing development and continuous improvement in their capacity to lead.
