My commitment to assisting individuals in navigating their career journeys and achieving their personal and professional goals can be traced back to the start of my career as a qualified social worker almost 20 years ago. I coach professionals who find themselves at a career crossroads, guiding them to find fresh motivation in leadership, and entrepreneurship. I am unafraid to help clients to do the deep reflective work that brings greater clarity around their purpose and ongoing personal/professional growth. I have a particular interest in developing and empowering female leaders across organisations. I also facilitate transformational leadership coaching programs for mid-career to senior level executives to help them enhance their executive presence, to inspire confidence and high performance in themselves, their peers and subordinates. As part of my commitment to building inclusive and authentic leadership across client organizations, I help leaders support their employees to better combine work and life commitments and, in return, to get more back from them. My prior experience in international talent attraction and HR Business Partnering roles, makes me keenly attuned to the needs of regional teams, and multi-cultural organisations. I was born and raised in Curaçao and have studied, lived and worked in Europe, the UK, the UAE and now Hong Kong SAR.
Core Values: Innovation | Adaptability | Connection | Integrity | Playful >>>> Kaizen As a coach, coach supervisor, workshop/group facilitator, and author, my life and career has been dedicated to the field of self-development and to effecting positive change through storytelling and conversations initially as a psychotherapist and now as a Master Certified Coach [MCC] accredited by the ICF and a certified coach supervisor with a European Supervision Individual Accreditation [ESIA] from the EMCC. Clients describe me as authentic, empathic, playful, incisive, and willing to challenge them when the time arises. I believe that coaching is whole-person systems focused - everything is connected. My coaching practice involves helping my clients to develop professional skills such as servant leadership, attention/time management, managing up/down, emotional intelligence, and building trust/psychological safety with teams. I also support my clients to build personal development areas such as maintaining positive relationships, mental/physical wellness, and values-purpose alignment. After completing business school, I started my career in tech start-ups in Silicon Beach, CA, but then shifted to pursue clinical psychology. Upon completing my Master's in Psychology, I worked as a therapist and received a certification in Dialectic Behavioral Therapy [DBT] which combines a Cognitive-Behavioral technique with Mindfulness practices. Finding that I had over-corrected a bit, I left the clinical world to find my sweet spot between business and psychology in executive coaching about ten years ago. As a coach, I use all my business and start-up experiences coupled with positive psychology and a humanistic-ontological theoretical position to form the foundation of how I approached my practice. I trained as a coach under the Ericksonian approach which holds that people are already whole and resourceful when they come to coaching and that growth is merely an expansion of wholeness. With this holistic approach and my clinical understanding of group dynamics from over a decade of experience facilitating groups both in-person and online and an equal amount of time coaching individuals, I aim to elicit powerful mindset shifts with my clients by supporting them to transform unproductive beliefs into resourceful ones. I do this by utilizing neuroscience concepts of habit formation, the power of our imagination, and the convergence of this evidence that suggests sustainable development in people and organizations are the product of prospection, attention, intention, and then reflection. Prospection – Digging for possibilities and visioning a future state of how we would like for it to be Attention – Uncovering new ways of what we can do to make it be Intention – Gaining awareness around why we want it to be Reflection – Looking back on these experiments and learning about who we are becoming from our how – why – what, developing our next how – why – what

Part sounding board. Part advisory board. Part Oujia board. Ever have a conversation with a friend, family member or co-worker that was completely free from judgment or bias? Me neither. But I have with a coach. Because that’s the job we’re trained for. Coaching has changed my life. I’m here today, doing what I love, because I worked with coaches who gave me the space to figure out what was true for me. I left a perfectly good full-time gig after 26 years in the advertising industry to pursue coaching full time. I get to bring all of that experience and the values those experiences forged with me to every client relationship. Problem solving, relentless curiosity, empathy and optimism. I started a podcast called DesuckifyWork™ that gives me the chance to speak with brilliant people every week who have exponentially broadened what I thought could be possible in the world of work. And I get to wake up each day, feeling grateful that I do all of this on my terms. If you’d like to have the same kind of experience, let’s talk.
