Coaching
Calm, structured support
to navigate difficult moments—while staying true to your values.
A Moment You Might Recognize.
You’ve been preparing for weeks and it’s finally time to stand in front of your peers on the leadership team and present your plans. As you finish, you glance around the room and notice two colleagues exchange a look—one that clearly carries meaning you don’t understand. It’s not the first time, and you can’t help but wonder if an alliance is forming.
You know trust is important, so you want to address it…but how?
Why This Matters
Work life is full of complexity, confusion, and conflict, especially when you’re managing relationships up, down, and across an organization.
Sometimes, it’s hard to recognize yourself as the same person you are when you’re at peace, enjoying your morning ritual, bonding with friends, or playing with your kids.
Yet even in tough moments, you can shift from a threat response to a centered, thoughtful response. You can stay true to the values you hold—and move forward from the “higher” version of yourself.
Because of the way many of us have been trained, it often takes real courage—and sometimes, support —to step forward in a way that is candid, open, curious, and empathic.
When you do, you create better outcomes for both yourself and others, allow your skills to grow—all while helping to build a better culture for all.
What We’ll Do Together
Depending on the situation,
we might explore:
Finding compassion for yourself under stress and normalizing work challenges
Clarifying the best possible outcome
Mapping feelings, needs, and judgments to bring them into awareness
Viewing the issue through a systems lens to depersonalize dynamics
Clarifying responsibilities—what’s yours and what belongs to others
Reconnecting with empathy, for yourself and others
Practicing candid, practical, non-violent communication
Crafting a clear plan or script to carry forward
Who This Helps
Leaders, managers, and individuals—anyone facing complexity, conflict, or challenges at work. Examples include tension on teams, difficult feedback, structural changes, and more.
Why Me
I bring over twenty years of experience in leadership, Human Resources, and executive leadership roles. These roles placed me at the center of communication and relationships, exploring all points of view, and navigating between the needs of the organization and the needs of individuals. I’ve expanded my leadership experience with training in facilitation as well as therapeutic practices. Today, my coaching weaves these threads together to support you in finding healthy pathways to resolution.
FAQs
How does this complement HR?
HR provides a framework (policies, procedures, legal guidance) that is fundamental to operating in your workplace. I provide the inner support and structured process to choose a response that both fits policy and aligns with your values. Note: harassment/discrimination concerns should go to HR immediately.
What are the outcomes of coaching?
I can’t guarantee the external outcome of any situation, but I can help you consider your options, design a plan, and respond in a way that is grounded and connected to your own values.
Will this align with company policy?
Yes. Because of my experience in HR, I can coach you in a way that remains in alignment with your organization's policies and helps you work more effectively with your HR representative: asking the clarifying questions that you need to really understand how policies work in action.
How do we work together?
After an introductory meeting, we’ll begin with an initial 90-minute session, giving us the space to fully understand the situation and set a path forward. After that, we work on an hourly basis, with flexibility to provide as little or as much support as you need.
