From Technology Leadership to Workforce Optimization to Empowering Talent
My journey has been rich with opportunities and challenges, spanning decades in technology leadership, workforce optimization, and now coaching. Today, I am blessed to do what I love most: helping people grow, evolve, and bring their purpose to life.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe that people are inherently creative, resourceful, and whole. Every one of my clients possesses the inner resources needed to create a life rich in accomplishment and fulfillment.
Coaching is a collaborative partnership—a space where exploration and discovery uncover deeper truths and unlock potential. It’s about turning intentions into action, achieving meaningful goals, and building the capacity to thrive in all areas of life.
I also embrace the transformative power of technology to bring greater value to my clients. As a Fellow at Columbia University, I am at the forefront of exploring how hybrid intelligence in coaching—the integration of human expertise and AI—can enhance the coaching experience and drive impactful results.
Whether through deep conversations or cutting-edge tools, my mission is to empower my clients to live their best, most fulfilling lives.
Performance Foundation
I partner with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process designed to help them maximize their personal and professional potential. My approach is shaped by:
• My research in the field of Mastery
• 30 years of experience leading technology organizations
• Columbia University’s high-impact coaching framework
• The principles of positive psychology
• My work as a Certified Purpose Coach
MY Clients
Typically, my clients come to coaching and workshops interested in discovering something new, closing a gap between where they are and where they want to be, and uncovering deeper meaning in their work and life. They are willing to devote the time, effort, or energy to take bold or incremental steps while learning from their experience and exploring their inner truths. For many, the challenges they tackle in coaching build their capacity to perform at work and to be more effective in their personal lives.
