Helping you become the leader you were meant to be

through individual coaching and organizational team building.

Are you struggling with self-doubt? Do you feel like no matter how hard you work, you can’t reach your goals? Does it seem like whenever you take a step forward, something pulls you back?

Are you frustrated with your team? Is your team (ineffective) and ……. ? Are you unable to boost your team’s performance?

Do you feel like you have to work hard but do not get a break? Stuck in the first gear? Do you try hard to make changes in your life but getting nowhere?

I help individuals become leaders in their own lives and even better leaders of their teams in the workplace through individual coaching and organizational team building. I use proven strategies to help them uncover their strengths, move past hidden barriers holding them back and become effective and efficient leaders. These are the same strategies I used to create changes in my life. I went from a recent college graduate, frustrated with my career choice, uninspired about my workplace and lacking direction in life to getting a Masters degree, becoming a certified coach, educator and speaker.

I understand the pain of working hard to initiate changes in your life or organize your team better, only to find yourself getting nowhere.

What separates effective leaders from everyone else is the awareness of their own strengths which can be used to unlock their full potential. The same goes for team leaders - they recognize each member’s unique behavioral and communication styles, which allows them to build stronger relationships through better communication.

I have successfully applies these strategies to help individuals move past hidden obstacles and take charge of their lives and to help organizations build stronger high performing teams.

My Story - The Rise of the Underdog

I always felt like an underdog. I had to work harder than anyone else. Nothing was ever easy. Everything was a hassle.

Fresh out of college, I was off to work for a financial company only to realize I made a wrong career choice. I did not enjoy the work I was doing. On top of that, everyone around me spend their days complaining about their jobs, bosses and life in general but did nothing to change that. The thought of having to endure that life for 40 more years till I could retire was unbearable. I quit my job and went on to earning a Masters Degree in Human Relations and Organizational development.

Life after grad school was not any easier. It was 2009, the banking system just collapsed and no one was hiring. No one cared about my newly-earned degree. I had to work several part-time jobs, some of them in construction, while commuting 5 hours a day, just to stay afloat.

My dream of starting a glorious career was crushed. I simply could not afford to complain, slow down, and feel bad about myself. I had to work harder than anyone around me to pull myself up.

I realized that unless I take responsibility for my life, nothing would ever change. I had to reset the way I think. I was not the victim of my circumstances. The world was not happening to me. I was happening to the world.

This changed everything. I trained myself to take the lead in my life. I went on to becoming a Social and Emotional Intelligence Profile® Certified Coach, received a certification in Intercultural Development Inventory® and Everything DiSC®, while teaching Human Relations and Organizational Development at Champlain College. I was able to build a successful coaching business where I help people lead themselves and their teams.
