How I got here...

At 20, I found myself at rock bottom after landing in jail for drug abuse. I was angry and felt disconnected. It was not my best moment.

But my remarkable cellmates pushed me to acknowledge the inner gifts I could use to make a difference for others once I was released. They opened my mind to who I could be and what I could do with my life. I even learned how to turn my anger into a force for good. I began to discover how to master my emotions, choose my reactions, and feel in control of my path. Once I was free, I quickly realized successes at work and academically.

Yet I often found myself frustrated when training and advising others on how they could realize the changes they wanted to make for themselves and when in conversations with others. They would commit to taking steps toward their goals, but then went back to old ways once it felt too difficult or awkward.

Then I was introduced to coaching.

I dived into the research to discover how coaching impacted the brain, proving it was a powerful learning technology that prompted long-term behavioral change, more than any approach I had learned from my advanced degrees, many workshops, and the stacks of books I eagerly read.

Learning how to coach and studying neuroscience taught me how to train people to change their own minds and behaviors. 

I was hooked.

I have spent 25 years deepening my coaching skills and teaching coaching around the world. 

Now I want to bring the techniques I have learned to other coaches and leaders, so they can make the same difference in their own corporate worlds.

I see so many companies struggle with building an engaged, productive culture of collaboration with their teams. When people disagree, they often become defensive and can't hear one another. This causes breakdowns in communications, a silencing of new ideas, and halts progress towards success.

I'm here to change that.

With my Mastery of Coaching programs, coaches and leaders around the world learn to deeply listen with no judgment, regulate their emotions to maintain trust, and use reflective inquiry to change minds for good.

I now have taught coaches and coached leaders in 43 countries. Global Gurus has listed me as one of the top 5 Coaches in the world for over 5 years. The increased rapport, engagement, and satisfaction felt transforms individuals and corporate cultures, accelerating everyone's success.
