My niche is in creating coaching cultures and helping leaders become better by integrating my corporate experience with my organizational psychology and coaching background in a practical way. I’ve coached across all levels, from executives to individual contributors and guided teams to greater cohesion and results in culturally diverse and complex environments.

Federal Government to create a coaching culture on assignment within their energy sector, a rare opportunity for an expat, and faculty in their Nuclear Leadership Academy. I’ve facilitated numerous coaching masterclasses, communities of practice and leader-as-coach trainings to embed coaching skills and elevate performance within companies. I currently serve as faculty for the Academy of Executive Coaching (AoEC) and co-lead the community of practice for coaches.
