Biography
I empower mid-life leaders and professionals to create a path and Navigate The Way through work and life transitions. Together, we build clarity and confidence, create positive change, greater resilience, and well-being so they can lead themselves and the organizations and families they serve. I’m a certified life coach as well as a facilitator and mentor coach at the Center for Mentor Coaching and Leadership Development at Grand View University. There, we help others learn the skills of compassionate listening in the workplace, community, and ministry.
I coach through the lens of self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and curiosity around how our thoughts and emotions influence our actions. Strengthening this area allows clients to change their relationship with stress, respond to others with intention, lead effectively with compassion, and form lasting habits. I like to say that we align head, heart and hands.
My passion is taking coaching outdoors for those who are open to inviting nature into the coaching process. Nature becomes the catalyst and metaphor for discovery, transformation, and growth. The valuable impacts of coaching are enriched with the health benefits of being or walking in nature.

Who I Work With
My clients are executives, managers, professionals, pastors, business owners, and other people-influencers. This client is:
- Stretched thin, stressed, wired and tired;
- Often feels like something is missing;
- Successful, but wonders what's next;
- Wanting to finish strong;
- May feel that all this affects their work, relationships and well-being.
They want to create or navigate change, be a more effective leader, achieve important goals, and experience greater fulfillment. Most want to strengthen relationships and achieve a greater sense of balance and overall well-being.
My Commitment as a Coach
~ Your Agenda. Your Goals. Get clear, focused and take consistent action.
~ Champion your growth and exploration of possibilities and perspectives.
~ Press the limits of your self-awareness and others-awareness.
~ Call out blind spots, patterns of behavior, and challenge you to take action.
~ Accountability that holds your feet to the fire.
~ A calm, safe space to reflect, gain insight and perspective.
Why Coaching?
We work together in partnership. Coaching shortens the time it takes to achieve your goals and growth. As one executive client said, "You are helping me more than I ever imagined and this process is worth more than any classroom I’ve ever been in."
