ABOUT

I’m a certified coach, and I’m a catalyst for change.

I help leaders connect with and celebrate the qualities that make them truly authentic.

 

I believe - and know - that true power comes from leading with authenticity.

For 24+ years, I’ve been the spark that ignites transformation in the lives and careers of leaders. My impact transcends industries, companies, countries, and continents. You’ve seen my clients are making waves at groundbreaking companies such as Audible, Hyatt, Nestle, Deloitte - and I’m just getting started.

I often liken my career pathway to a squiggle, leaping from passion to passion before finding my “A-ha!” in coaching.

 
 

From accounting to financial recruiting to higher education, I’ve always been drawn to nurturing individual potential.

By coaching people to discover, embrace and honour their authentic selves, I help build bold leaders who drive meaningful results for companies and communities alike.

 

For nearly a decade at the renowned UBC Sauder School of Business, University of British Columbia, I spearheaded coaching services and programs available for over 44,000 graduates worldwide.

Now, I run my own coaching practice, creating moments of genuine engagement and authentic connection for clients, organizations, and schools alike. I’m driven by working with individuals who have awakened and crave something more out of life and career, whether they are mid-career or seasoned professionals. My work has taken me internationally, and I’ve coached people in Canada, the USA, UK, Asia, Europe, South America, and Australia. What a journey it’s been!!
