My coaching style is personable, warm, approachable, and client-centered. I’m always fully present for my clients, listening to understand, asking powerful questions to allow my client to uncover the correct answer for themselves, and ensuring my client is always moving forward to achieving their goals. I also draw from my tremendous wealth of personal experience to be empathetic and understand the challenges my clients are facing. This allows me to give counsel and make relevant suggestions when appropriate and with my client’s permission. Above all, I’m truly interested in the personal and professional success for my clients and partner with them to achieve their goals.
We set goals for the engagement before we start working together, including agreeing on the goals with the client's sponsor. At least monthly, we review the stated goals to ensure they are still relevant and that we are making forward progress.
My coaching superpower is asking powerful questions to move them forward towards their goals.
My ideal client is a Director-level to Sr VP leader in a small to mid-sized technology company who has high integrity and is already successful with a desire to grow and increase their impact. Given my background in technology leadership roles, leaders in R&D and product management are ideal clients. Also, since I’m a woman engineer, I connect with other women leaders in technology leadership positions given our shared experiences (however, I do not exclusively coach women)Given my experience in technology leadership positions, I’m ideally suited to coach leaders in this space. I’ve lived their challenges, grown from an individual contributor to a Sr VP on the CEO’s staff, and understand how engineers think and approach problems. My coaching comes from experience, which allows me to connect with my clients on a deep level, build trust, and guide their development.
