Coaching is an alliance we co-create for the purpose of connecting you to your thoughts, emotions, beliefs and values that influence your behaviors and actions. If you are ready to explore ways to deepen your life and career experiences; find the confidence and courage to pursue a path you may be pondering; navigate a planned or unplanned transition; make a conscious choice to pivot to something new; or create what’s next on your unique life and career journey, then coaching may be right for you.

When choosing me as your coach you will be getting a valuable thought partner to support you on your unique life and career journey. I am naturally curious, collaborative, supportive, and importantly, action-oriented. I coach with authenticity, integrity, empathy, and passion, bringing a whole lot of energy to each and every coaching conversation. Your job is to be the expert on your life; my job is to help create greater fulfillment in whatever area of your life or career you choose.

The Energy Leadership™ Index (ELI) is given at the start of our coaching engagement. This proprietary, research-backed attitudinal assessment tool created by iPEC, is a one-of-a-kind assessment that enables you to hold up a mirror to your perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, and overall leadership capabilities. The ELI is different and transformational in that it takes something abstract—the way you experience the world—and turns it into a tangible metric you can see and feel and even reevaluate in the future. As an Energy Leadership™ Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP), I will spend 90-minutes guiding you through your personalized assessment results that include valuable insights into your thoughts, perceptions and attitudes and offer guidance on how to take what you’ve learned and actually apply it to your life and career. This assessment can provide the foundation for goals you may want to focus on and accomplish in your 1-1 sessions throughout the coaching engagement.

Coaching is an investment in yourself. When something is viewed as an expense, we often equate its perceived value to a point in time in which it is incurred. When we view something as more of an investment, we equate its perceived value to benefits we will derive over a number of years.

This offering includes the Energy Leadership™ Index (ELI) personal assessment, 90-minute ELI assessment debrief and one 60-minute follow-up coaching session.
