My Story, Values & Approach
With nearly 25 years of experience in adult learning, leadership development, and coaching, I’ve dedicated my career to helping leaders heighten their self-awareness, confidence, and impact. I hold a Master’s degree in Adult Learning and Human Resources from Virginia Tech, and my background spans numerous leadership roles. I specialize in designing and delivering high-impact coaching and leadership development experiences that drive sustainable transformation, focusing on human-centered strategies. After all, it’s people who must change—not organizations. My formal training, extensive experience, and years of focus on human behavior give me the insight needed to identify where and how attitudes and behaviors should shift to overcome organizational barriers.
​
As a Professional Certified Coach, Certified Behavioral Consultant, EFT Practitioner, and author of It's Time for Some Next Level SHIFT, and Leading Curiously: Leading Yourself and Your Team to High Performance from the Inside Out, I bring a holistic approach to leadership development. Emphasizing self-awareness, success management (rather than traditional change management), and constructive conversations, I help teams rally around new possibilities. My clients span diverse industries—from non-profits to engineering firms and government contractors—all benefiting from a shift in mindset and enhanced performance.
I’m committed to continuous learning, regularly participating in industry events and volunteering with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Association for Talent Development (ATD). As a mentor, I guide others in this rewarding field.
​
And I’m always learning something new! So feel free to ask, "What are you learning today?" I’d love to share.
​My Core Values:
-
Creativity: I am an idea generator, constantly exploring new ways to bridge gaps and contribute to what’s missing. My creativity is fueled by curiosity and a persistent 'what if' mindset, leading me to ask bold questions and consider new possibilities. It comes to life through art, writing, and other modes of exploration and experimentation. Creativity fuels my passion and allows me to approach challenges with fresh, transformative perspectives.
-
Growth: Growth is a daily practice rooted in courage and self-discovery. It means embracing discomfort, facing fear, and stepping beyond what feels familiar. I seek opportunities to explore passions that bring joy to myself and others. Growth requires patience and persistence, and I believe that moving through, rather than around, discomfort leads to the most profound development.
-
Impact: I am driven to create meaningful change. Grounded in research and data, I aim to deliver measurable value for clients, teams, and organizations. My work is focused on outcomes that matter — supporting people, driving progress, and leaving a lasting, positive imprint.
We all have unique experiences, beliefs, and backgrounds that shape us, but we also share a universal capacity for resilience. If we recognize how we stand in our own way, we can rewrite our stories for success. It all begins with understanding who we truly are.
​
When we are clear on who we are and operate in a way that is in alignment with our true selves, it becomes easier to show up in service of and to more effectively and energetically lead others to their goals. This evolution is grounded in my WHO-BE-DO model which highlights the importance of grounding yourself in WHO you are so you can BE that person in all you DO to achieve what is important to you.
​
My leadership philosophy based on the WHO-BE-DO model is:
I lead with creativity, impact, and growth at my core. I approach challenges with innovation, foster continuous personal development, and create fun, meaningful experiences that inspire transformation. As a caring, supportive, and present leader, I listen deeply and engage with positivity and curiosity. I empower leaders to increase self-awareness, challenge limiting beliefs, and take purposeful action aligned with their aspirations.
​
The factors that limit us reside within us.
These limitations are based on what we believe, what we expect, how we respond, and what we choose. If we can create intentional space to hit the pause button on our ego, limit and shift self-judgment, dismiss comparison, and manage our expectations and responses to ‘fake’ threats, we have access to the recipe for designing and accelerating the success story we have yet to write.

The WHO-BE-DO Development Model
Hone Your Inner Compass to
Lead Yourself and Others
from the Inside-Out

Learn more about this model in this 13-minute video.
This model helps you tap into what truly matters when times get tough. Think of it as your inner compass—a guide you can access whenever you need grounding and clarity and a way to help you make decisions today that your future self would high-five you for.
WHO
At the core of the model is the "Authentic Self," representing the essence of who you are. This encompasses your values, strengths, and unique personal characteristics. Understanding and embracing your authentic self is crucial for genuine leadership and like a bright amazing light, can shine through in all you do. This WHO is what is left if all your possessions and all your accomplishments were taken away from you. Focusing on WHO involves evaluating thought patterns, strengths, values, and limiting beliefs while fostering habits of gratitude and acceptance. This journey leads to conscious behaviors aligned with our true selves, fostering ease, peace, and flow. As our internal state shapes our external reality, regular calibration and alignment to WHO we are brings us closer to desired outcomes.
Tools in our coaching or workshops that support exploration of your WHO include:
-
Enneagram
-
MBTI
-
DiSC
-
HPTI
​
BE
The next layer focuses on "BE," which refers to the way you present yourself to others. It involves aligning your actions with your authentic self and recognizing how you are showing up to others energetically. BE represents the transformative nexus where we engage with others, yielding both complexities and enriching relationships. These interactions serve as mirrors, reflecting aspects of ourselves that may otherwise go unnoticed. By aligning with our authentic WHO, we empower ourselves to express freely and pursue meaningful actions. ​Focus here fosters confidence, self-worth, and respect, enhancing feelings of value in relationships and behaviors that improve the quality of relationships.
Tools in our coaching or workshops that support exploration of your BE include:
-
Leadership Circle 360
-
Leadership Effectiveness 360
-
Energy Leadership Index Assessment/also the 360 version​
DO
The outer layer, "DO," represents your actions. It’s about taking actions that are consistent with your authentic self called for by each unique situation. When your actions align with who you truly are, they are more effective and impactful, leading to genuine results. While most people operate here in doing, excellence here relies on alignment of WHO we are and how we are BEing. ​This phase delves into understanding motivations, limitations, and capabilities, facilitating action within an inspiring and efficient timeframe.
​Working with me to activate your WHO and BE to influence your DO is what we get to explore more in custom workshops or coaching engagements.
