For over 20 years now, I have been committed to ensuring that senior leaders clearly know how to maximize their leadership talent. I coach them to understand their responsibility not just to contribute their best, but to enable their teams, organizations and communities to do so as well. Oftentimes they discover things about themselves they never realized. I’ve worked as an executive advisor in public sector organizations, advanced technology companies, start-ups, as well as mature, global businesses. I challenge leadership to constantly ask of themselves and others, “how am I making a difference here and what do I need to do better?” Working with me, you’ll find my style is pragmatic and realistic in manner, creative in solution-generation and sensitive to the individual personalities; my focus is on improving performance in a way that doesn’t compromise one’s true self.

I’ve always known this is what I was supposed to do. I have undergraduate and master's degrees in Organizational Communication. I’m certified in Korn Ferry’s Executive and Leadership Assessments, PDI 360 Executive and Leadership Assessments; Myers-Briggs Instrument; Interaction Associates Leadership, Teams and Facilitation Education; DDI Teams Training. I reside in the San Francisco Bay Area, as I have almost all of my life, with my hubby of many years, an energetic, young son who is the light of my life, and our very sweet dog, Emma.
