When I lead; I am me.
When I am me; I lead.
I am the leader’s coach; the one my clients bring in as:
An architect for organizational change and possibility
A refreshing advocate and expander who will hold leaders to their level of potential and support them to succeed
A leader and facilitator of transformative, powerful shared team experiences
A game-changer for how to gain value from meeting experiences
When I’m not coaching, facilitating leadership teams or leadership experiences, you’ll find me skiing, baking chocolate chip cookies, or most likely, spending time outdoors with the most important part of my world, my husband and two boys.
Professional Highlights
I have a proven track record of advising and partnering with executives, leadership teams, and women on a mission.
A Certified Professional Co-active Coach, a sharp strategy curator, and powerful team facilitator, I have extensive expertise in helping leaders to strategically step into the leadership it will take to lead change, people, and navigate new opportunities.
In addition to my coaching certification, I am also certified in programs and assessments including: William Bridges’- Leading Organizational Transition, Innosight’s- Driving Innovation, the Predictive Index, and the Hogan Suite.
Mind The Core came to be in early 2019, after I had worked at three other consulting firms, developing high performance cultures, next level leaders, and teams that win.
Oddly, or perfectly, I studied leadership in college. That’s not normal for most to say!
At Providence College, I designed and advocated for my individualized major. The major, a Bachelor of Arts in Leadership Studies, focused on Leadership, Teamwork and Communication as the keys to our professional workforce. It was comprised of coursework of more than 17 courses from Business Management, Public Service and Sociology.
Little did I know, my work and studies, would years later become the groundwork for my business.
Early Days
Before Leadership was my profession, it was my passion and form of safety.
I grew up as the oldest (of three) in a single-parent household that came with the expected challenges of all that that entails. (Parenting is hard enough- but to have one appointed parent is a whole other game for the parents and the kids!).
Fortunately, I learned there was one thing that made all the difference; the presence of leadership.
Leadership wasn’t a title. It was whoever could do the job.
After opening my eyes to the power of leadership at home I chose to further study leadership. I practiced leadership in activities and community experiences, and almost without me realizing- “Being in my Leadership” became my zone.
My practice of being leader was noticed and supported. I was…
