I hope what you see in my photo, or hear in my voice, is someone who is a great listener, wise, warm, curious and totally interested in you!

Someone insightful and intuitive. Who understands your issues and guides you to find your answers. Someone you can trust. Someone who will be honest and direct with you, while encouraging you to achieve your goals and go for your dreams. Someone who will be a solid champion of your leadership development and personal discovery …and of your success in work and life.

Because that’s who I am, how I coach and what I am dedicated to doing for you!

When I discovered professional coaching in 1999, it was as if a light bulb flashed “on” over my head. All my years of organization development consulting, teaching and training, managing others in organizations and being a friend and mentor to others came together when I understood what coaches do.

I embarked on a wonderful learning journey through The Coaches Training Institute (CTI), and through them became a Professional Certified Coactive Coach, a graduate of their unparalleled Coactive Leadership Program as well as the Center for Right Relationship’s Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching Program.

In December of 2003, I achieved the designation of Professional Certified Coach (PCC) by the International Coach Federation, the international body that promotes excellence and professionalism in the coaching profession. I am now applying for my Master Certified Coach credential (MCC) for which I am eligible having coached more than 2500 hours.

And being the life-long learner that I am, I am currently enrolled in a year-long Body Mind Spirit Intensive coaching program with Marlena Field who created and teaches a body-centered coaching approach focussed on tapping into the wisdom our bodies hold for us.

I am certified to deliver The Leadership Circle, an excellent 360 tool and culture survey for both individual professional growth and organizational learning.

Basically what I want you to know is that what I bring you are my years of experience and achievements in half a dozen other careers, along with all of who I am and have become and am continually growing to be!

I am a lifelong learner for myself…and for you.

I have created my work and life on my own terms. It feels good to be in charge of my destiny and to live my life with passion and zest. I want that for you too.

I love to coach bright, articulate, successful women and men who want to tap into their own strengths, knowledge and inner truths so they can make powerful choices and decisions in their careers and lives.

My clients come from coast to coast across Canada, the United States, and internationally. Currently they call me from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, London, Kingston, Ottawa, Fredericton, and Saint John.  Former clients have called me from Nairobi, Kenya, Montreal, Moncton, Boston, San Diego and other cities in the United States.

What I am most passionate about is the simple joy of being oneself! Getting there is what we do in coaching.

Email me or call me at 613-544-9912 so we can set up a time to talk about how executive, leadership or life coaching can benefit you.
