What is coaching?

It's a collaboration. My job is to empower you and your job is to stay motivated and flourish. I do very coach-y things like help you identify and harness your internal resources or address limiting beliefs that might be holding you back. I guide you through the process of clarifying the changes you want to see, planning for them, and executing on that plan.

If you're like many of my clients, you might be transitioning between academia and industry, navigating a corporate environment, or developing your leadership and communication skills. We can work on all sorts of development goals that you are interested in pursuing. Once you decide to invest in yourself through coaching, the sky's the limit!
