Who This Is For

Built for Leaders and Those Who Want to Become One

For Leaders

You're running an organization, managing a team, or stepping into a larger leadership role. The complexity is real – decisions, people, culture, and strategy all compete for your attention. Coaching helps you lead with greater clarity, presence, and impact.

For Individual Contributors

You're talented, driven, and ready for more. Whether you're navigating a career transition, building your confidence, or preparing for the next level – coaching gives you a trusted partner to help you get there faster and on your own terms.

What We Work On

Three Areas of Focus

01

Leadership Development

How you show up as a leader determines how your team performs. We work on the fundamentals that matter most – how to engage your team effectively, make decisions under pressure, communicate with influence, and build a culture where people thrive.

02

Fundraising Leadership

For nonprofit leaders and development professionals, fundraising is personal. With over $20 million raised across individuals, corporations, foundations, and government entities, I bring hard-won experience to help you build your fundraising confidence, sharpen your donor strategy, and lead your development team with conviction.

03

Career Transitions & Growth

Change – whether chosen or thrust upon you – is one of the most demanding leadership experiences. We work together to help you navigate transitions with clarity, find your footing faster, and move toward what's next with purpose.

The Approach

Coaching Is Not Advice-Giving. It's a Partnership.

My approach is grounded in Coaching for Transformation – a methodology built on the belief that every person has the inherent potential to learn, grow, and lead more fully. Rather than prescribing solutions, we work together to surface what's already within you and build from there.

Connection

Nothing happens without it. We build a relationship grounded in trust before anything else.

Shared Power

You are the expert on your own life. I bring tools, perspective, and accountability. We work as equals.

Safe Space

Growth requires honesty. Our work together is a place where you can be fully open, experiment freely, and move forward without judgment.

I draw on 30 years of leadership experience across Silicon Valley, the nonprofit sector, and executive roles spanning multiple industries and cultures – including time living and working in Ghana, Iran, England, Germany, China, and South Africa.
