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.

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

I have had a corporate career with companies like Levi Strauss and Apple Computers. Following completion of my MBA, I started my own business consulting practice in the area of strategy and competition. I co-authored five books that are required business texts in universities around the world and translated into multiple languages. Currently I am an Adjunct Professor at the University of Technology, Sydney and a recognised global specialist in Competitive Inteliigence. After 20+ years consulting, I looked to transition to something more personal. Following studies in Australia and the USA, I am a qualified counsellor and a life, leadership and business coach.

My crucial passion is around decision making. How can we all make better decisions? I love decision making because of the biases, assumptions, interpretations, limiting beliefs and inner voices which influence every decision we make. I believe everyone has such great inner potential and look forward to supporting your endeavours.

I am on a mission to create "Good Businesses" where people outperform others, are highly engaged, creative, collaborative, burnout-proof, and thrive. I spent half of my life in a multinational construction group, where I shifted my career several times, from large infrastructure projects, to HR consulting, to HR service of expertise for Leadership Development, Talent Management, and Learning and Development. Working in a male-dominated industry taught me how to speak to power and reach for what I want to achieve. Working in a corporate world taught me how to thrive and succeed on my own and with others, and also that it is all for nothing if I do not take good care of myself.
