Executive Coach & Leadership Development Where Trust Meets Transformation

Real change happens when leaders feel safe enough to tell the truth—about their struggles, their blind spots, and their biggest fears.

After two decades managing 7-figure budgets and leading communities through life-altering crises, I’ve learned something critical: The most powerful leadership insights don’t come from assessments alone—they come from the honest conversations that happen when leaders feel truly seen and supported.

That’s my difference maker. I build the kind of trusting relationships where my clients can bring their full truth forward. Then I use Harrison Assessment’s behavioral analytics to give that truth structure, clarity, and a roadmap for lasting change.

My Approach: Trust First, Data Second

Relationship-Centered Coaching

I create a nonjudgmental space where high-functioning leaders can process their biggest challenges and celebrate their wins. Real transformation happens when clients feel safe enough to explore not just what they’re doing, but why—and what might be getting in their way.

Enhanced by Data-Driven Insights

As a Harrison Assessment Certified Coach, I use behavioral analytics to help clients see patterns they might miss and understand the “why” behind their leadership style. But the data only works when clients trust enough to be honest about what they’re really experiencing

Grounded in Crisis-Tested Experience:

20+ years leading through high-stakes, high-emotion situations
Managed multi-million dollar operations and complex stakeholder relationships
Led communities through natural disasters resulting in loss of life
Known for staying calm, focused, and thoughtful when others panic

What Makes My Approach Different

The Trust Factor:

Most leadership development focuses on skills and strategies. But here’s what I’ve learned in two decades of crisis leadership: Skills don’t matter if leaders aren’t honest about what’s really happening. I create the kind of space where leaders can actually sit with what’s uncomfortable instead of running from it—because that’s where the real growth happens

The Athlete’s Foundation:

My background as a Division 1 swimmer taught me that sustainable performance requires:

Honest assessment of where you are vs. where you want to be
The courage to practice what feels uncomfortable
A coach who believes in your potential even when you don’t
Community and support for the long game

The Leader’s Perspective

Leading through community-wide disasters taught me:

How to hold space for complex emotions while maintaining forward momentum
How to have crucial conversations when stakes are highest
How to build trust when everything feels uncertain
How to help others find their strength in the middle of chaos

Who I Serve Best

I work with three types of high-functioning leaders who are ready for honest, transformational work:

Mid-Life/Mid-Career Professionals in Transition

You’re successful but something feels off. You want clarity about what’s next, but you need someone who won’t judge the messy middle. Using Harrison Assessment insights combined with deep coaching conversations, we’ll uncover what’s really driving your dissatisfaction and build a path forward that honors both your values and your ambitions.

Education Leaders

You’re managing impossible demands with limited resources while trying to serve everyone. I get it—I’ve been there. Together we’ll use behavioral data to understand your natural leadership patterns and build strategies for staying grounded while leading others through constant change. And because you can’t transform a school culture alone, we also develop your leadership teams’ collective capacity for navigating challenges together.

Nonprofit Leaders

You’re passionate about the mission but exhausted by the politics, funding pressures, and stakeholder management. Let’s get honest about what’s working, what isn’t, and how you can lead authentically while protecting your own sustainability. Plus, we develop your team’s ability to have the crucial conversations and make the tough decisions that move your mission forward—because sustainable change requires more than just a strong leader at the top.

My Coaching Philosophy

Trust is the foundation—everything else is just technique

Data illuminates, but relationships transform

Kindness costs nothing but changes everything

Be hard on problems, not on people

You’re more ready than you think, and you don’t have to figure it out alone

Just like that first dive requires both courage and trust in your coach, your next leadership breakthrough requires the safety to be honest about where you are and the support to get where you want to go.
