Running a business can be overwhelming.

Trying to manage all the strategic initiatives and projects you need to accomplish can feel like chaos.

You have a gut feel everything is on track.

But, you're not really sure.

The stress and anxiety is taking its toll.

On you and your team.

Would you like to be able to relax just a little at work?

I can help.

Through my executive coaching and consulting services, you and your team can learn how to introduce structure and order to your business.

You'll learn to apply the techniques, tools, and processes I've honed over a 30+ year career.

You'll get your programs and projects under control.

The meetings that used to waste your team's time (and your company's money) will be productive and efficient.

Would your team be energized when you tell them the bad meetings are over?

They’ll be motivated and more productive.

And, you'll have a calm that comes from a data-based assurance from knowing your initiatives are on track.

You'll be an even more effective leader as you connect with your people, mobilize them for action, and deliver results.

But, your business may be in great shape.

Your stress level may already low.

If that's the case, I may not be a fit to help you and your business.

But, if you think I might be able to add value, please contact me.

I'd love the opportunity to help you and your team deliver results.

And avoid the anxiety and stress of a chaos-filled business.

I look forward to talking with you.

I Help Business Leaders Stop Bad Meetings

If you’re like me, you can’t STAND bad meetings.

They waste time and money in your business.

And they ruin the morale and energy of your team.

When your meetings are bad, your business is at risk.

As a business leader, that’s the last thing you want.

So, I want to help you improve YOUR meetings.

And, here’s the truth.

You can make your meetings productive, effective, and even ENJOYABLE!

How?

I explain that each weekday when I post just after 7 am Central time.

After leading thousands of meetings over a 30+ year career, I’ve gained valuable experience.

And, I’d love to share what I’ve learned with you.

Helping Ambitious Women Unlock and Land Their Dream Career or Business, Once and For All...Even if They Feel Completely Lost ★Reinventing You ★ Redesigning How You Work ★ Energy Guide ★ Speaker ★

You’ve mastered the corporate game, your leadership is respected and your success is unquestioned.

But the old model of achievement no longer fits and you know you’re here to build something entirely your own.

I work with high-level executives, founders, and decision-makers who are ready to translate decades of expertise into aligned businesses that reflect their real values, vision, and legacy.

This isn’t a pivot, it’s the next step in your evolution.

Together, we align identity, strategy, and wealth all the while dropping all the conditioning and performing that you’ve picked up along the way.

At this level, it’s not about working harder.  It’s about operating from your power.   

My clients don’t need motivation or more information. They need a sharp mirror, clean strategy, and a space where their intelligence, instinct, and authority are fully activated. 

This is about using all of you… the parts you’ve relied on, the parts you’ve hidden, and the parts you haven’t even met yet, and bringing them into full alignment to build your legacy.

If you’re done playing roles and ready to lead from who you actually are, this is your next move.

About Me:

I spent two decades as a corporate leader before walking away to build a business that reflected my true values.

I’m a strategic advisor, a mirror, and a catalyst for high-level leaders who are ready to lead on their own terms.

I live in Vancouver, Canada, and work privately with clients across North America and beyond.

Career Transition Coach

While spending 25 years in corporate world as a CPA, I often found myself feeling disconnected, bored and lacking any real sense of fulfillment. Although there were certain parts of my career that I really loved, it just didn’t quite feel like enough.  I felt like I was being under-utilized.  I had a strong pull to have a bigger impact. Those feelings wouldn’t go away.

But I didn’t know what to do next.

I realized it was up to me to change my circumstances.  I spent years pouring myself into personal development to fully understand myself so I could figure out what it was that would bring that sense of fulfillment. 

In this time I learned that there were certain pieces that I needed to know about myself to be able to create a career that I love and that feels completely in alignment with who I am and what I wanted to do in this world.

I created my coaching business to help other corporate high-achievers determine the next steps in their careers so they may also have that impact and sense of fulfillment.  I do this through a proven process that I learned in my own journey.
