I partner with individuals and organizations to support the growth and success of leaders as they serve their organizations’ goals and priorities.
I am a certified executive and leadership coach from the Hudson Institute of Coaching, Santa Barbara, and an associate certified coach with the International Coach Federation. My coaching practice unites with over thirty-five years’ experience as a senior healthcare leader serving in both operational and functional roles.
Throughout my career, my passion has been helping leaders and organizations perform in service to both mission and business realities – achieving personal success and collective outcomes through times of immense cultural and business change. I understand the volatile challenges and opportunities facing leaders, and I am committed to developing resilient and courageous leaders who are effective change agents and mentors of current and future talent. I believe that coaching is a crucial lever in navigating these personal and professional waters by supporting insights and action that allow leaders to be more self-aware and effective, and in turn better able to serve the needs of their organizations.
