Bio

Iris has worked with hundreds of leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs to level up in their careers, in organizations ranging from start-up to Fortune 500, and everything in between.

She’s helped many people who were lost and burnt out get clear on what work will bring them energy, and transition into roles where they can thrive. She’s also helped hundreds of managers navigate tough dynamics and show up as the leader that their team needs, and has helped many new managers build their capabilities and confidence in their role.

Over the years she’s found there are many ways we limit ourselves, but that it is also very possible to shift our perspective to see all of the possibilities, and have the clarity to make the right choice.

In her sessions, she creates a safe and objective environment for you to get clear on your situation and next steps. She’ll hold you accountable and challenge you, and will always support you and help you stay connected to your purpose and talent.

Working with her starts with getting clear on your goals, and assessing where you are in terms of strengths, values, and opportunities for growth. From there you’ll create a practical plan to overcome challenges and get results.

Her role is to be an objective confidante, a trusted advisor, and at the end of the day, to help you feel and be your best. Schedule a session with her if you’re ready to reach new heights, make lasting changes, and build a career you’ll fall in love with.

FAQ
Describe the process you use to help clients move forward with their lives.

I help my clients move forward with their lives by partnering with them first to understand their core values, and then to establish clear goals that are meaningful and aligned to those values. From there we work on developing habits that will support the achievement of those goals, working to unlearn unhelpful habits in terms of thinking and behaving, and then integrating more helpful habits, using the neuroscience of sustainable habit development. Throughout the process, I help my clients organize their thinking and turn thoughts into actions, and provide a supportive, empathetic, and objective space to process issues and explore their dreams. I always aim to help my clients build self-awareness and remember their agency in their lives, and support them to clarify their options and make choices and take actions that are best aligned with their goals and values.

Describe your coaching style.

Warmth and empathy are core to my communication style. I strive to balance providing validation, and supportively challenging my clients as appropriate, and will help you identify patterns that allow problems to be solved at their root.

Do you have a specialty?

My strengths with job search coaching are in personal branding and networking, as well as developing a job search strategy that integrates wellbeing, for a job search has the potential to become stressful if not managed in the right way. I love working with people who feel like they aren’t the networking or personal branding “type” to refine the messaging and approach that supports career growth and builds connections in an authentic way, in addition to helping them expand their access to opportunities and competitiveness in the marketplace.

How do you measure success with a client?

Measurable goals are the foundation of my client relationships, whether that’s helping a client resolve team issues or transition into their dream role. One of my favorite questions is, “if you could snap your fingers and change one thing about your life by the end of our relationship, what would that be?” From there, we break your vision down into sustainable steps. I measure success by my client’s ability to learn, pivot, and persist through the challenges as they take strides towards creating the life they desire.
