Coaching and Consulting
About Me
Coach, Educator, Consultant, Author
I like to help people learn, grow, and develop. That has been my life's passion as a teacher and now as a coach. I have spent most of my adult life working cross-culturally as I trained teachers in many nations and worked in the non-profit sector. I also enjoy writing and have published two books: Courageous Teaching: Educators Who Dare to Be Transformed and We're in This Boat Together: Leadership Succession Between the Generations.
My expertise spans leadership skills, organizational change, cross-cultural competencies, adult education, personal growth, and professional development. I enjoy working with adults of all ages, male and female, from various cultures and religious backgrounds. As a Christian, I believe that each person is unique, valuable, and has a purpose in life. Coaching can help you achieve it.

What is Coaching?
Coaching is a partnership in a creative process designed to empower individuals to navigate challenges, clarify goals, and move forward with confidence. The client drives the process with stated goals that the coach works with as questions are asked to explore possibilities and inspire action. I create a safe and supportive space where clients can examine possible obstacles, consider options, and turn ideas into actionable plans. Let's brainstorm together!
Whether you’re seeking clarity in decision-making, going through a life transition, desiring personal growth, or working to achieve professional goals, coaching can help you. My style is intuitive and relational, combining questions with reflection that lead to concrete steps towards meaningful change and purpose. Contact me and we can set up a time to talk!
