Who
So. Who the heck am I? And more importantly, why on Earth should you invest your trust with me?
Well, that's an easy one: Because I listen.
For me, it's all about meeting my clients where they are at, and then working together to build a bridge to success, so that they can achieve the goals they want to accomplish.
My background:
I am a thespian. Yes. You read that correctly. I am a trained performance professional with over 25 years of theatrical training and experience under my belt. I received a Master's Degree in Performance from the prestigious Yale School of Drama and have worked on stages (primarily), television (somewhat) and movies (a smattering of small roles in a few independent projects) ever since.
But what I cherish more than performing is the opportunity to work with people who want to improve their communication game - whether that's through public speaking opportunities, political campaigns, leadership development, or simply gaining confidence in how they show up in a room, every single day. THAT is WHY I love coaching; to see how the work I am passionate about can make an indelible and positive impact on the lives of my clients, and in turn, the lives my clients touch.
​
I bring a performer's sensibility to the work and infuse my coaching with the principles of performance cultivated over a career of collaboration, storytelling, listening, being present and, most importantly, being intentional.
​
Developing new skills around HOW we communicate is challenging, frustrating and definitely sometimes the very LAST thing that anyone wants to engage in. But if you do; if you CHOOSE to engage in this work, I promise you the rewards -- the CONFIDENCE you will gain, and the IMPACT you will have on others -- will absolutely be WORTH the effort!
​
My clients mean everything to me, and MY success is measured by THEIR success.
Whether it's individual coaching, small or large team workshops, or even a massive organizational change campaign -- partnering with me will lead you to discover whole new communication toolkits that will immeasurably benefit you, your organization and your clients and customers.
​
I can't wait to work with you!
