Leadership is so much more than a role, it’s a way of being.
I am the leader’s coach; the one my clients bring in as:
An architect for helping change and possibility come to life
A refreshing advocate and expander who will hold them to their 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 shared experiences & meetings
When I’m not coaching, facilitating leadership teams or leadership experiences, you’ll find me skiing, baking chocolate chip cookies, planning our next trip, 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 leaders who are ready to upgrade their courage.
A Certified Professional Co-active Coach, a sharp strategy curator, and powerful team facilitator (and coach), I have extensive expertise in helping leaders to strategically step into the leadership it will take to lead change, people, and navigate the unknown.
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.
Prior to Mind The Core, I worked at a nonprofit, and three other consulting firms, always deeply involved in developing engaged communities, high performance cultures, next level leaders, and teams that win.
I hold my Bachelor of Arts in Leadership Studies, from Providence College; this is an individualized major (I crafted, vetted, and had approved). It was designed to be focused on Leadership, Teamwork and Communication through integrating 17 essential courses from Business Management, Public Service and Sociology departments.
I live my ever-evolving leadership and take pride in the way I help others to do this too.
Early Days
Leadership has always meant something to me.
I grew up as the oldest (of three) in a single-parent household.
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 BE in the state of leadership. And, more importantly, whoever could help others to realize this, too.
Beyond home, I practiced leadership in activities and community experiences, and it was clear, “Being in my Leadership” became my zone.
More than confidence, it gave me the ability to activate others and have impact.
A few standout highlights include…
