Are you ready for a change? I can help you decide what you want it to be and how to make it happen. I offer a 30 minute complementary phone session to discuss what you want to work on and to describe my coaching process.
Communication – Communication is where most problems arise. I will work with you through inquiry and discussion, and follow up with assignments in which you experiment with alternative communication methods.
Influence – You can work on improved collaboration, and how to sell an idea internally.
Integrity – You can learn to maneuver skillfully within the political environment of your organization, and still retain your authenticity.
Courage – It’s important to be proactive and creative and take a chance now and then without knowing for sure if it will work out. True leaders do this, and I think it’s the only way to make real progress.
Professional Development – One of the great things about receiving coaching is that you can learn skills to help others develop. Sometimes simply understanding that mentoring and coaching others is a leadership responsibility can allow for a shift in perspective and approach.
I spent 20 years as a manager and director at Autodesk, Claris, Adobe Systems, and Sun Microsystems in Development, Marketing, and Sales OperationsI’ve lived in Spain, Brazil, France, Italy and Switzerland, and worked closely with Asia Pacific. I’ve coached professionals from Russia, China, Korea, Japan, India, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Scotland, France, Italy, Mexico, and the U.S., and managed people from Europe and Asia. I’ve also coached many non-profit executives.
I have a B.A. in psychology from Antioch University, an M.A. in Organizational Psychology from JFK University, and am a Certified Professional Coach through New Ventures West, which is certified by the International Coaching Federation.
