I'm a connection percolator.
What does that mean? It means I build connection not
only through what I say & do, but also in how I listen.
Whether working as a VP for a $9-billion dollar cyber-security company, building diverse teams from scratch, the Manager of Operations for the protection team for the CEO & COO of Facebook, a state trooper, a 5th-grade school teacher, an executive coach, D& I strategic advisor, or advising on internal & external communications for companies, I realized that while I was damn good at what I was doing, everything I did had a singular focus: connection.
Here’s the bottom line: as humans, we are biologically wired to connect. But we’ve strayed so far from that truth that we have basically trained ourselves to be pretty bad at connection. The good news is...we can change that.
To help leaders build better communication strategies for stronger relationships at work & at home. (yes, you are a leader).
To create a world where everyone has the skills & confidence to have all of the conversations we continue to avoid. Where we can powerfully communicate & connect with kindness & empathy as we say the things that need to be said & listen to the things that need to be heard.
Coach In Full Degree - Focus coaching on the whole person, not only the situation & circumstance.
Merge - Focus on forward action & merge the path from where we are to where we want to be.
Motivationally Listen - Ask questions & offer perspectives instead of trying to change minds or attempt to convince anyone of anything.
"You don’t always have to know where you’re going, to know which direction to go.”
I create the kind of space that fast-tracks authentic conversations & connection in whatever kind of dynamic I’m working with. That's my specialty, my gift & why I choose to be an executive coach.
