About me
I’m an executive coach and facilitator who brings empathy, humour, and (I like to think) a little wisdom to my everyday work.
As a former senior executive in government, ministerial staffer, and non-profit CEO, I know all too well how challenging it can feel to navigate your career and get what you want out of it.
I provide guidance to help make those big moments and decisions less daunting.
I offer a range of services to support great employees, leaders and teams to excel at what they do.
