Land tangible results.

Life can be an amazingly satisfying and joyful experience for each of us every day of our lives. I will work in ways that resonate with people’s dreams and aspirations and set concrete plans in place to help them step by step.

Business & Integral Coaching

I work with clients to improve their performance and satisfaction at work and/or in your personal life. In a business setting, I focus on how you can become a more effective leader and be your best at work every day.

The techniques I use are an Integral approach with the understanding that it’s in the nature of human beings to become who we are through our practices: the purposeful actions we repeat every day.  I believe that we are how we are, not simply because of how we think about something, but because of the way we show up repeatedly in action. What we do in this way shapes our bodies and our whole way of being in the world.

FAQs about my process.
What do you intend to accomplish with clients?

Life can be an amazingly satisfying and joyful experience for each of us every day of our lives. I can work with people to explore ways to start on a path of deep exploration that can set their hearts and minds on fire and inspire them to find new ways to live a gratifying life. I will work in ways that resonate with people’s dreams and aspirations and set concrete plans in place to help them step by step.

I’m open and curious to see how each coaching program will develop. I feel inspired and “on fire” with what I’ve learned and the positive effect I’ve had with people. This is what I tell other people to notice in their lives: what gets you excited, what do you think about when you’re daydreaming?

I extend my hand to pull you out of your “stuck” places and to see beyond your “blind spots” so that you can climb to a new vista point and see the vast potential all around.

How do you work with diversity, inclusion and belonging with clients?

I strongly believe in serving and fostering a world where everyone has a seat at the table, regardless of their background, identity, or culture. When I was 16 years old I participated in a 6-week summer residential program, The Encampment for Citizenship, which builds a diverse community that is at the root of democracy and inclusion of many cultures. I have worked with this program as a Board member, finance chair and mentor for over 50 years. I’ve also been an active participant in many social justice movements and campaigns throughout my life. I support and cherish working with people and communities from different backgrounds, cultures, frames of reference, and across the generations.

How do you work with personal wellness and health?

I went to Spain a few years ago to walk 125 miles on the Camino de Santiago, and learned how to engage in hiking through beautiful trails and work with expanding what I thought possible for reaching a physical goal. I hike every day, and take Thai Chi classes to stay focused and in shape, with my mind, body and spirit.

What’s unique about my approach and experience?

I have been in work situations where I notice how people interact, what works, and what impedes development and growth. I have learned to give specific, direct feedback to people about behavior and make suggestions for things they can do to improve communication and meet their business goals. People tell me that I often notice things such as looking at what people say, body language, tone, style and many combined factors. I’m always interested in what makes people “tick” and what they are really trying to express I am open and ready to change my viewpoint with new observations. 

I use humor and lightness to help create a relaxed atmosphere on neutral ground where we can plant seeds together that can be harvested after nurturing the soil of change with the heat and light of our intentions and practices.

My intention is to be a source of inspiration, inquiry, information and a co-creator of life journeys.

How do you continue to grow and develop your expertise?

I attended workshops and programs that expand my awareness and learn new tools and build networks of colleagues that are working in the coaching/consulting field. For example, I attended the Modern Elder Academy Wisdom school a few years ago and I learned the value of Intergenerational sharing and mentoring, which I’ve built into my practice.
