Unlike most coaches who focus exclusively on one end of the talent pipeline, I very intentionally designed my business over a decade ago to work with clients at every stage of the talent pipeline:


Early Career | Mid-Career | C-Suite & Senior Management | Chairman & Boards

As a result, I have depth across each career phase and am an expert on the talent ecosystem. 

I also serve clients outside the corporate world and work with many artists, creatives, designers, academics, philanthropists, serial entrepreneurs, and first-time founders.

Clients drawn from F500 Corporations, Big Tech & Fin Tech including:

You cannot compartmentalize LIFE and WORK.

I designed my programs so you can thrive both professionally and personally. 

I help you to: 

  • avoid burnout.

  • identify and stay in your zone of genius.

  • advance in what you care about. 


I help you to LIVE A LIFE WHERE YOU ARE THRIVING, FULFILLED, AND SO GRATEFUL to be ALIVE! LET’S GO! 

I have coached young talent at the undergraduate, graduate, and PhD level at these institutions and more.

I am constantly learning the latest research and innovation in the open talent ecosystem and  hold multiple certifications including

  • ICF accredited Co-Active Professional Coach (CPCC)

  • Certified High Performance Coach (CHPC)

I was selected to be part of a global research grant to study the Positive Intelligence™ program to explore cutting-edge research around the neuroscience of positive intelligence. 

My clients value the versatility and depth of my professional experience. 

When I was in my early 30s, I was already persuading Fortune 500 CEOs and Boards to take the bold and decisive action I recommended as a global management consultant with The Boston Consulting Group (BCG). 

I know firsthand how decisions are made in these milieus and what it takes to build influence and advance. 

I also have experience as a strategy director at global biotech firm Bayer and as a commercial banker with The Northern Trust Company. 

Clients appreciate that I have held global roles at professional services firms, corporations, as a board member, and as an entrepreneur.

I live in a small town north of Chicago and I am the proud mother of three sons, Charlie, Malcolm and Robert.  I have 4 rescue cats which is a story for another day.  My passion is watching movies and tv shows and discussing them with other people who are equally hooked.

Aside from my beloved family and friends, what I am most grateful for is the clients I get to serve who inspire me everyday with their courage, smarts, tenacity, humor, grace, innovation, and ambition. Thank you to them all and I would love to work with YOU!
