​​
My approach to coaching and consulting is rooted in four core principles.​​​
Principles
Presence
I show up fully for each conversation, and support my clients in doing the same. In a world full of distractions, presence is a powerful leadership practice that sharpens focus, strengthens relationships, and reveals what truly matters.
Deep Listening
Every interaction begins and ends with listening. I listen not only to what is said, but also what's not articulated and what’s underneath.
Agility
Today's leaders must be open to new perspectives and possibilities, while continued to experiment and learn. I am committed to fostering curiosity, compassion, and growth mindsets.
Co-Creation
I meet clients where they are so we can work on what's most relevant. Together, we’ll create a path forward that is aligned, authentic, and actionable.
​​Together, these principles represent a way of being that creates the conditions for clarity, insight, and meaningful work.​​​​
A Few Fun Facts
01.
As a true cheesehead, one of my favorite past-times is a good game of cribbage. My dad taught me everything I know, so look out!
02.
I am usually reading two books at once (fiction and non-fiction). Let's swap recommendations!
03.
My soul loves to travel and experience local culture. Most recently, I enjoyed some incredible experiences in Turkey, Southern India, and Ireland.
04.
I am an avid hiker and enjoy getting out to state and county parks around Wisconsin. A recent visit to Glacier National Park left impressions that will stay with me for a lifetime.​
05.
I believe in the power of sacred silence. I am a long-time meditator and have been teaching mindfulness and meditation for 16+ years.
06.
The most fulfilling role I've had is Chief Momma to two daughters. They are off doing "young adults things;" spreading their wings and fulfilling dreams.
07.
Favorite quotes (couldn't choose just one!):
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." -​ Albert Einstein
​
"Awaken your spirit to adventure,
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you."
​
- Excerpt from For a New Beginning, by John O'Donohue
