Why do I coach?
I've always been a coach - even as a young professional, I was known to be a great listener, a trusted advisor, an empathetic supporter, and someone with ideas. I didn't have the official coach title until a few years ago when I shifted out of my corporate role and became a full-time Career and Leadership coach. I am so proud to realize my talent in this space and feel privileged that I get to help others in such a meaningful way. My greatest success is the success of my clients - I would love for you to be one of them.
