Coaching Client Results
I’m often asked by potential clients during discovery call meetings to share client results. Results are a critical part of coaching. I’m a strong believer in knowing where you’re headed so you can measure and track results. I help new clients to identify between 1-3 goals for the...
Banishing Burnout
Is your organization bracing for “the great resignation”? If so, you’re not alone. A few of my clients are experiencing increased turnover, and I’m sure you’ve seen the popcorn of job change notices of colleagues and friends on LinkedIn. We are seeing this swing towards resignation due to burnout and increased stress levels, lack of growth...
Purposeful Productivity
Most of my clients are starting to return to work in a hybrid fashion or planning for a return to work this fall. Interestingly enough, many of the same concerns raised last year at the beginning of the pandemic are coming around again as potential issues in the new hybrid work environment, with productivity at the top of the list.Several clients have shared they anticipate a drop in...
Mental Health Month
It’s been quite a year since last May’s Mental Health month. We’ve lived through a year in a global pandemic, intense racial injustice, and a volatile election season, all of which contributed to a tough year for many of us. The result? A society more than a little on edge and additional pressure on mental health professionals. Whether...
April is Diversity Month
April is Diversity Month, and what a month it has been. On the day of the Derek Chauvin trial verdict, we learned of the death of a Black female teenager at the hands of a police officer, and there were other horrible news stories of Black Americans being harassed or worse by police. As a Certified Inclusion Coach (CIC), I am committed to helping leaders create...

2020 2.0?
I’ve heard from family, friends and clients that 2021 still feels like 2020. I get it. Turning the page on the calendar did not make Covid go away or make it immediately possible to see our families, friends, and colleagues. Borders remain closed to the U.S., and there’s still work to do to heal the racial and political divide. How did we get here? When will it feel like a new year?...
Give The Gift of Presence
It seems everywhere I turn, the word “presence” is coming up. To me, presence means being mindful, aware and focused on who I’m with or what I’m doing. I’ll be honest, it’s not always easy to do. I find myself multi-tasking when my husband is talking to me, texting my cousins while cooking, or noticing my mind wandering when talking with friends....
Gratitude
It’s now proven that gratitude changes your brain and improves your mental health. The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley, (my alma mater––Go Bears!) has studied gratitude for years. But, how many of us actually take the time to express gratitude and deeply reflect on all that we are grateful for? I’ve had a daily gratitude...
