I work with people who feel like they are constantly putting out fires, both at work and at home. They may be managing frustrated and disengaged teams, complex culture issues, and relentless work demands. As an executive coach and consultant, I guide you to create lasting change.

I help leaders:

  • Identify hidden stressors & empower teams by fostering trust & bridging cultural gaps (like intergenerational)
  • Transform workplace dynamics with sustainable solutions that reduce burnout and stress.
  • Improve trust & communication to create a supportive and positive team environment.
  • Resolve tension that results from mismatched expectations.
  • Implement proactive strategies to prevent burnout before it starts.

I use the Appreciative Inquiry method in all of my work. This is a change model that looks for the best in people, their teams, and the whole organization. Instead of trying to analyze the causes of problems and find out who is to blame, it focuses on identifying what’s working well and doing more of it. It promotes collaboration and dialogue to create a shared vision and engage in the innovation process.

Imagine a thriving team, where success doesn't require sacrificing well-being. This is the future I help leaders create.
