About

My Approach to Executive Coaching

I support leaders, individual contributors, and professionals to bring their best self to achieve their most important goals and create the opportunity for exponential growth.  I choose to work with great people who have a goal to generate even greater success.

I believe that everyone within an organization has a leadership role to play, and formal leaders from the CEO to the front-line manager have the power to create spectacular teams that create spectacular results. Which is why I decided to focus this next chapter of my career to be the best executive and leadership coach that I can be.

As your coach my number one agenda is you! Together we will reveal your strengths and what makes you a unique and accomplished professional and leader. We will determine what is stopping you from showing that greatness to the world. One by one, we will break those barriers down and replace them with the clarity you seek for your career and future that will inspire you to take the steps you need to take to be your great self and achieve your goals.

Experience and Qualifications

I have over 30 years of corporate work experience, with more than 8 years as a Vice President. I worked my way up from entry level, individual contributor roles, to a member of the senior leadership team of several large organizations. I have successfully interacted with all levels within an organization from front line service teams, unions, executives, C-suite, through to the Board of Directors. I am proud of what I have accomplished throughout my career, and like most, I have also made my share of mistakes - which provided some of my greatest lessons learnt. I believe that we lead from who we are as a person and mastery of self is an important component of mastery as a leader. The job of being a leader is never finished as there is always more that we can earn as we continue on the path of leadership in our work and in our own lives.

My most recent executive position was Vice President in a health insurance company where I led the business development, sales, product development, and disability management operations. I have managed multiple teams of more than 100 staff and I understand the challenge of keeping people motivated while balancing organizational objectives. I have also worked for 10 years in consulting and honed my skills in both leading and participating on project teams, always with a focus on meeting the needs of the client.

I spend my leisure time with my husband, Peter, daughter, Emily, and our dogs Jac and Penny, sailing on Lake Ontario and beyond. I take photographs along the way to capture the quirkiness of life and our surroundings.

The combination of my education and on-the-ground experience allow me to bring a deep and meaningful foundation to being your coach and I would be honoured to help you achieve your goals.
