A personalized approach

I offer different focus areas for coaching with customized packages designed just for you. Think of it as a tailor-made experience to address your unique needs.

01

Leadership Development Coaching

Leaders are invited to grow their self and situational awareness and develop their leadership skills, whether they hold roles as individual contributors, people managers, or senior executives.

02

Career Transition and
Advancement Coaching

Individuals considering a change of industry or profession are invited to consider options that are consistent with their core values. This can include personal branding, resume review, job search strategies, mock interviews, and constructive feedback. Transition coaching also includes support during the initial phase of transitioning into a new role.

03

Performance Coaching

The focus here is on individuals envisioning themselves at their peak performance while in complete flow. They are invited to unlock their optimal state where satisfaction with work and life is in harmony.

04

Mindset Coaching

An individual's mindset is shaped by several factors, including socialization, genetics, upbringing, education, relationships, and life experiences. This mindset, in turn, guides decisions, actions, reactions, and inactions. Mindset coaching invites the individual to identify and revise limiting assumptions, thought patterns, habits, and beliefs for personal growth and professional fulfillment.

05

Conflict Resolution Coaching

Individuals experiencing conflict at home, school, or at work are invited to heighten self-awareness. The coaching process involves identifying personal conflict styles and finding authentic ways to engage with others for meaningful resolutions.

06

Student Success Coaching

Students are often faced with difficult choices regarding their education and as recent graduates. Whether in college, university, or the trades in their home country or internationally, individuals are invited to clarify goals and explore possibilities. An inclusive space is created for young adults to reflect and determine their path forward during this critical phase of their lives.
