Freeing the unique leader within.

Leaders today are dealing with overwhelm, complexity, instability, and burnout. Finding sources of resilience, equipping and resourcing their teams, understanding the mental health challenges that block productivity – in these ways and more I help emerging, high potential, and established leaders to have healthier, more impactful, sustainable and life-enhancing careers.

Engage in powerful, confidential discussions that will equip you to:

Deepen your self-awareness

Tap into a deeper understanding of what’s essential about you that needs to be expressed through your work.

Expand your leadership competencies

Strengthen your emotional intelligence and build resilience for complex times.

Implement your vision

Implement your vision, kickstart your career, grow your business, create your legacy, change your world.

My gift is being able to jump four levels ahead, then take you into what I’ve seen. This capacity to cut through the chaff to go more directly to the core issue(s), makes me a powerful thinking partner to leaders at all levels.

Our revenues were up 30% after the first year, we’re finally in the black after too many years of red, and we made a fundamental shift in our business model, repositioning us for the longer term. I attribute that directly to the work I’ve done with Deborah. Coaching made me stop and think about who I am in the bigger picture. I wasn’t sure at first but now I’m convinced – this coaching stuff works!

There are many obstacles to our growth as leaders.

Leaders who operate from an unconscious place are more likely to make decisions from fear and overwhelm. Fear leads to an overriding concern for things like status, power, and profit for the sake of profit. Overwhelm leads to disarray and indecisiveness.

Operating from self-awareness leads to showing up fully with all that we are capable of; knowing intuitively what is needed, what our role is, what we are uniquely suited to bring; and connecting more effectively with others to achieve common goals.

We need a different sort of leader to guide us through these changing times. And for these leaders, having a solid foundation emotionally and psychologically matters as much as having a solid foundation of knowledge, expertise, and experience. I focus on the former. As we work together, you will be equipped to inspire others from your own deeper self-awareness.

Step more fully into your unique capacity for leadership.

What is your ideal pathway to a healthier, more sustainable, and impactful career and life?

Gifted Outlier Coaching

I specialize in helping uncommon leaders – who have the capacity to see what others don’t see – to bring their voices more fully into the conversation.

Leadership Coaching

I work with high potential and emerging leaders  to help them understand what comprises their true leadership.

Coaching for Leadership Coaches

I help younger or less experienced coaches develop their own wisdom, because you can’t take others where you’ve not been yourself.

You played a critical role in helping me sort out a crucial next step in the growth of Atomic — how we hire and work with diverse employees.  I wasn’t thinking of involving my fledgling executive team – our conversations on this opened up my thinking and resulted in a much more robust solution. You’ve also helped me see that I need to do staff development to help my team step up for the changes that success brings.  It’s exciting to partner with you in Atomic’s growth.
