The common denominator of my 20+ years as a coach is helping people see possibilities in their career. Clarity and focus. Another perspective from another pair of eyes.  When you are able to see clearly, you can get focused and moving again. From there, career transformation is yours. 
I see the real you. Underneath the mask. Past the bumps and bruises you have experienced in your career. I see your purpose. I see your greatness. Objectively.

As a Career Optician, my goal is to help you see what I see. You'll get a new pair of glasses for your career that helps you understand your situation differently. During our work together, you will be able to view your career from a new lens.

I've supported 1,000’s of clients as they’ve moved past some of their toughest moments:

  • Finding their way back after major career set-backs and loss.
  • Beating the competition to win coveted jobs.
  • Handling difficult/toxic bosses, co-workers, or staff members that were making their lives miserable.
  • Overcoming fear and getting focused to secure well-deserved raises and resources.
  • Going from being placed on performance reviews to becoming rising stars.
  • Returning to the workforce after taking intentional or unintentional breaks.
  • Getting out of ruts they had been stuck in for years.

I have worked with clients in companies, including: Facebook, Google, Citibank, Bank of Singapore, Nautica, Verizon, and many others. I can tell you what it’s like to navigate and succeed in a start-up, small/medium sized business, or Fortune 500 corporation. My specialty is career stages whether you have attained senior management status, are a manger moving up the ladder, or a newbie entering the workforce.

As an author of several books, I tap into 20+ years of solid career coaching experience empowering clients to find new jobs, new careers, new ways of dealing with workplace challenges, and new systems for performing at their best.

Are you at a crossroad?

"If you see it, you can do it."

About your coach....I am a mix of data and intuition; both spiritual and practical. My hobby is learning. I dish out tough love, while also creating a safe space for clients to talk, be understood, and be themselves. I am forward-thinking, big-picture oriented, enthusiastic, motivated, and driven. I love my work and my goal is to help you do the same.
