Empowering Leaders

As a certified trainer with the National Conflict Resolution Center, and a retired executive with 30 years of experience leading large organizations’ Human Resources operations, and practicing employee/labor relations and mediation, I specialize in equipping individuals with the communication and alternative dispute resolution skills to lead with influence, adaptability, and collaboration.

Coaching Style

My coaching style is rooted in Human-Centered Leadership and Servant Leadership competencies, and Alternative Dispute Resolution and Experience Economy principles. I strive to create a fun and comfortable learning environment for adult learners.

Coaching Focus Areas

• Gain influence and executive presence – Communicate with impact, build credibility, and position yourself as a trusted leader.
• Build collaborative and effective relationships – Strengthen communication, foster trust, and drive team engagement for lasting success.

An organization’s success depends on their people. Great leaders create and maintain exceptional
environments empowering people to perform at their best. Empowered people drive an organization to deliver
on their strategic goals.

Utilizing a collaborative coaching approach, let us explore progressive leadership communication strategies and tactics to unlock your leadership, and your team’s, potential!
