As a successful technology leader and sports coach of elite teams, I have helped hundreds of high-level achievers reach their goals.

MINDSET, CAREER & LEADERSHIP COACHING

What is Mindset, Career, and Leadership Coaching? What can you expect when you work with me?

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering with you in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximize your personal and professional potential.

Think of me as a 'personal trainer' who is there to help define your goals and keep you on track when the pressures of the world pull you away from those things that are most important to you. Together, we focus on behaviors and actions that promote current and future success. I am a certified life coach (ICF Certified) and blend that training with all my practical knowledge from my career and coaching to help guide you through your journey.

Furthermore, because of my deep experience in the corporate world, I am also able to help gain perspective on the motivations of those in your work environment including your coworkers and manager, and those of the company as a whole. We explore contrasting priorities within the workplace so that you can ensure your goals are met within the context of your work community.

I take a holistic approach that develops your career, overall mindset, & leadership skills.

Career Coaching

Do you have a plan to make the money you need to accomplish your dreams? Have you found a career progression that keeps you stimulated and challenged?

Career growth, additional compensation, and working on projects that excite you don’t happen purely by accident. Being on the right path in your career requires periodic check-ins to ensure your work serves you now and later. It also requires having the skills to approach conversations around promotions and compensation. In our work together, clients clearly define what they would like to achieve this year and throughout their career and develop a plan to get there.

Mindset Coaching

Does your current approach to workplace culture and work-life balance align with your short and long-term goals? Do you have an accurate sense of the strengths and skills you bring to your career and how these can be leveraged for your success?

So many of us struggle to celebrate our own successes, put time and energy into engaging in activities or behaviors that don’t serve our goals, and fail to capitalize on our greatest strengths. When we practice gratitude and honest self-reflection, we can focus on the skills, opportunities, and points of access available in our lives that will help us achieve our goals. I work with my clients to identify their strengths and skills and analyze helpful and not so helpful patterns of thought and behavior that may support or get in the way of meeting their current and future success. I provide coaching on simple techniques to support clients to quickly see their world in a better light and recognize their ability to change things for the better.

Leadership Coaching

Do you have the leadership skills you need to take your career to the next level?

Leadership and Management Skills (not always the same thing) are behaviors and techniques that help accelerate and benefit those around you. They often include clear communication, motivation, strategic thinking, delegation, and emotional intelligence. These are not skills that one is born with but must be developed. Effective employment of these skills demonstrates your capacity to take on new roles within an organization. I work with my clients to identify areas of strength and improvement and develop strategies for applying these skills in the context of their current professional role.

ABOUT ME

Over the past 20 Years I've worked in technology as a sales executive, sales manager and sales director for market defining companies including New Relic and AppDynamics. I chose sales at first because it was the quickest way for me to accomplish my financial goals. But, before long I discovered that I was not only good at it, I enjoyed it. I always found it satisfying to help companies and customers improve their processes through technology. I was lucky enough to work in early-stage startups who grew quickly and eventually went public, so I am extremely familiar to the challenges of a fast-moving company both from an employee and company perspective.

Beyond my corporate career, I have coached numerous sports teams, including football at De La Salle High School, known to have the most successful high school program in the nation, and internationally ranked women’s flat track roller derby for the Bay Area Derby All Stars. I have consistently been able to help guide my teams to top national and international level recognition.  I am passionate about coaching others to master the skills and mindsets required to function as a cohesive team and to achieve elite individual performance. 

I look forward to helping you on your journey.

How Sessions work

1) One Hours Session (FREE): We discuss your goals, what you would like to accomplish and determine if we are a right fit for one another.

2) You choose your starting package (three, six or nine 60-minute sessions). We schedule three sessions per month. Additionally, you have access to me via text or call for no additional charge for an additional 15 minutes per week, as needed.

3) In our first session, we identify and refine your goals, explore the connections between your goals, motivations, and current behaviors, and consider the actions you will begin to take to achieve success. Sessions often include small homework assignments to help you maintain focus throughout the week and ensure you are implementing behavioral changes on a daily basis.

4) At the conclusion of every month (three sessions) we review progress and recalibrate as needed. Often, we find that some goals need to be prioritized over others to better impact progress.

5) Pricing is based on both number of sessions in your selected package as well your industry/role (sliding scale).
