Have a question about my leadership coaching services and programs?

Here’s what you might like to know before reaching out

  • I offer one-on-one leadership coaching for individuals, the Bold Without Burnout Immersion Experience, the Impact Leaders Incubator (a 4-month cohort-based leadership development program for mission-driven women), and the Impact Career Sprint (a hybrid course/coaching program for social impact job search support).

  • I work with social impact professionals, from emerging leaders to senior executives. Any job can be a social impact job, so I work with leaders in social impact, sustainability, CSR, nonprofits, social enterprise, and mission-driven businesses. My clients span various industries—fashion, tech, healthcare, finance/ESG, education, consulting—but the common thread is they're trying to create positive change through their work.

  • I’m based in Pennsylvania, USA, but work with clients throughout the states and abroad. Sessions are virtual, so as long as we can find times that work across time zones, location isn't a barrier! I also travel for group workshop facilitation. 

  • Absolutely! I facilitate leadership development workshops on topics like strengths-based leadership, decision-making, navigating organizational complexity, and overcoming imposter syndrome. Reach out through the form above to discuss bringing leadership training to your organization. (I’m allergic to boring trainings, so I know we’ll make it a good one!)

  • CliftonStrengths is an assessment that reveals your top natural talents—the things you're uncommonly good at. I chose to get certified in it and I use it in my leadership coaching because I've watched too many capable people exhaust themselves trying to become "well-rounded" instead of doubling down on what they're naturally excellent at.

    The assessment gives us concrete language for how you show up as a leader and what energizes you. Then we build your leadership approach from there—based on your actual strengths, not a generic model of what a leader "should" be. It's more sustainable (you're working with your natural wiring, not against it) and more effective (you're leveraging what makes you uniquely good at what you do).
