Curious About Coaching? Here’s What You Need to Know!

  • Coaching is an investment in you—your confidence, your career, and your capacity to thrive in a changing world. You’ll receive specialized resources, expert advice, and accountability checks that can streamline your actions and make them more effective. Whether you're navigating a transition, stepping into leadership, or preparing for a negotiation, coaching helps you move forward with clarity, focus, and purpose.

    In a world shaped by rapid change—AI, shifting job markets, evolving expectations—coaching gives you space to pause, reflect, and make decisions that align with who you are and where you want to go. It builds uniquely human skills like self-awareness, communication, adaptability, and strategic thinking—skills that are increasingly essential, no matter your industry.

    Many clients leave coaching with more than just a plan—they gain renewed confidence, stronger self-advocacy, and a deeper understanding of their strengths. And when you apply that to a job search, a promotion, or a negotiation, the financial return often far exceeds the cost of coaching.

    When everything around you is evolving, coaching helps you stay centered, intentional, and equipped for what’s next.

  • CliftonStrengths coaching goes beyond surface-level self-awareness. It gives you a clear, research-backed framework to understand how you think, work, and lead at your best. Instead of focusing on what's "wrong" or what needs fixing, we focus on amplifying what already makes you effective.

    Through coaching, you'll learn how to use your strengths to make better career decisions, navigate challenges, communicate more effectively, and build confidence. For professionals in transition or stepping into leadership, this clarity can be a game-changer. You’ll stop second-guessing yourself and start leaning into what makes you unique—on purpose.

    Many clients say CliftonStrengths gave them the language to describe their value and the permission to lead and work in a way that feels authentic and energizing. It's not just a personality assessment—it's a tool for clarity, alignment, and long-term career success.

  • Coaching might be right for you if you're feeling stuck, in transition, overwhelmed, or simply ready for growth and eager for change—but not sure how to move forward on your own. You don’t need to have all the answers to get started. What matters most is that you’re open to exploring, willing to reflect, and ready to take meaningful action.

    That said, coaching isn’t magic—and it’s not a quick fix. It works best when you’re committed to the process. That means showing up fully, being honest (with yourself and with me), and following through on small but important steps between sessions. Growth takes courage and consistency, and real change often comes from doing the hard, sometimes uncomfortable, work of self-discovery and experimentation.

    Along the way, you won’t be navigating alone. As your coach, I’ll provide expert guidance, practical tools, and resources to support your career journey. And don’t forget that you’ll have a free 30-minute consultation call with me to help you feel fully comfortable with the coaching process and my style.

    If you're willing to invest the time, energy, and attention, coaching can help you gain understanding, build confidence, and move toward goals that truly matter to you.

    Many clients find that even when it’s challenging, the experience is empowering, validating, and transformative—and that they leave coaching with a stronger sense of who they are and what they want next.

  • Each session starts with a goal or focus. We explore your current challenges, reflect on strengths, discuss tools, practice skills, and co-create actions you’ll take. Sessions are conversational, practical, and grounded in what matters to you. You will leave with tangible resources and action steps to keep you moving forward. You’ll be able to access coaching notes and contact me in between sessions using my customized coaching portal and app.

    First time coaching clients are sometimes surprised by the number of questions a good coach asks! This is by design. There is no one right answer for everyone. My job as a coach is to help you appreciate, develop, and leverage your unique strengths to come up with the plan that’s right for YOU.

  • You can expect a coaching experience that is thoughtful, strengths-based, human, and deeply personalized. I bring a mix of strategic insight, practical tools, and genuine curiosity about who you are and where you want to go. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions—your goals, values, and experiences matter, and I’ll meet you exactly where you are.

    I’ll offer both structure and support as you move forward. I ask meaningful questions, listen deeply, and challenge you in ways that are empowering—not overwhelming.

    My unique experience, training, and skillset helps me provide state-of-the art resources and strategy that produces measurable results.

    • I am certified and experienced as a career coach and Gallup CliftonStrengths coach PLUS I have additional training in other evidence-based coaching strategies, such as life design.

    • I have more than a decade of senior leadership and management experience.

    • I completed a highly-regarded graduate program in negotiation.

    • I’ve taught leadership at the college level.

    • I have a demonstrated track record of success, helping mid-career professionals navigate career transitions, negotiate effectively, and grow as leaders.

    Clients often tell me they feel truly seen, supported, and more confident in their decisions after coaching and that I help keep them accountable. Whether you're feeling stuck, ready to grow, or somewhere in between, I’m here to help you gain new understanding, tap into your strengths, and take intentional, aligned action.

  • Salary negotiation is one of the most impactful career skills you can develop. Most employers expect you to negotiate—and often leave flexibility in the offer in anticipation—but many professionals don’t ask. Research shows that not negotiating can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars over time.

    Beyond just base pay, negotiation can improve your total compensation package, including bonuses, benefits, flexibility, and professional development. It’s also a key tool in helping close gender and racial wage gaps, especially when done with strategy and support. Negotiating well isn’t just about money—it’s about advocating for your value and setting the foundation for long-term career growth.

  • Salary negotiation coaching may help you earn more and feel more confident advocating for your value. Together, we clarify your market worth, develop a strategy, and practice clear, effective language so you’re prepared for every stage of the conversation—whether you're negotiating a job offer, a raise, or a promotion.

    This process doesn’t just increase the likelihood of better compensation. It helps you recognize your strengths, own your contributions, and communicate them with confidence. Many clients leave coaching not only with more money, but with a stronger sense of pride, self-worth, and agency in their careers.

    And because even a single successful negotiation can add up to thousands (or more) over time, this work has a lasting impact on your financial well-being—from building savings to funding life goals to achieving long-term security.

  • Leadership coaching helps new managers build confidence, navigate uncertainty, and step into their leadership role with clarity and support. The transition into management often comes with new responsibilities—leading former peers, giving feedback, setting expectations, and juggling competing priorities—many of which aren't taught in traditional training.

    Through coaching, you’ll get a space to reflect, ask questions you might not feel comfortable asking at work, and develop practical tools to lead effectively. You’ll learn how to communicate with more impact, delegate, manage up and across, and build psychological safety within your team.

    Coaching also helps you define what kind of leader you want to be—grounded in your values and natural strengths. You’ll walk away with not just strategies, but a stronger sense of leadership identity, self-trust, and the ability to grow with intention over time.

  • After we complete a free 30-minute consultation and you decide to move forward, I’ll invite you to my secure, personalized coaching portal and app hosted on Delenta. This is where everything coaching-related lives: you’ll be able to e-sign a coaching agreement, schedule appointments, access helpful resources, share resumes and other career documents, review session notes, and message me directly between sessions.

    If you are completing a Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment as part of your package, you’ll also receive a link via email to begin the survey.

    Most coaching appointments are held virtually via Zoom, but phone sessions are also available if you prefer. Once you select a coaching package, I’ll send you a payment link—all payments are expected in advance and are processed safely through PayPal. If you need flexible payment options, you can choose PayPal’s “Pay Later” options, including Affirm if eligible.

    I do my best to make the process simple, flexible, and supportive—so you can focus on doing the deeper work that coaching invites.

  • My top CliftonStrengths include Learner, Intellection, Input, Relator, Ideation, Individualization, Futuristic, Strategic, Focus, Achiever, and Activator—and they shape every part of how I coach.

    I’m naturally curious, thoughtful, and always learning. I love helping people make sense of complex situations and uncover fresh, forward-looking possibilities. I ask meaningful questions, offer perspective, and help you see both the big picture and the practical next step.

    Because I lead with Individualization and Relator, I don’t believe in cookie-cutter advice. I take time to get to know who you are and what matters to you—so we can co-create a path that actually fits. My clients often tell me they feel seen, supported, and stretched in all the right ways.

    With strengths like Strategic, Achiever, Focus, and Activator, I bring structure, momentum, and accountability to the process. I’ll help you not only gain insight but turn it into meaningful, aligned action. Whether you're navigating a transition, stepping into leadership, or advocating for your value, I’m here to help you move forward—confidently and on purpose.
