I work with individuals who wish to make a greater contribution to their organization and deepen the skills that are required to respond successfully to their work and their world. My coaching helps clients strengthen the ability to lead a team, develop a more strategic vision, and stay grounded, flexible, and adaptable. My approach combines rigor and focus with creativity and common sense, helping clients to become more skilled observers of their own behavior and to develop greater capacity for change. My professional background includes over 25 years of leadership experience in state government and human resources, including 10 years as VP of Human Resources at a Harvard-affiliated academic medical center and research institute. I have a BA from the University of North Carolina, an MPH from Yale University, and IÍve completed certificate programs in HR administration, Employee Benefits, and HR Leadership. I am certified as an Integral Coach with New Ventures West and as a Senior Practitioner in Human Resources. I am certified for Myers Briggs Step I and II and I also use the Enneagram in my coaching work.
