Fun and energizing are words to describe how I am...Inspiring Awesomeness! Enabling Results!!

At age 51, I was an accomplished and successful professional, a CPA, CA…I achieved success, obtained promotion after promotion, only to discover that I was becoming less and less ME. There was a little voice inside of me that was crying out: “help”..which became the catalyst of my amazing self-discovery journey. And this awareness is the foundation in how I am…Inspiring awesomeness! and enabling results!

Achieve optimal success through insights into your values and behaviours

  • INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENTS

    Equipping yourself with powerful insights from personality assessments is the foundation as it offers you scientifically reliable and valid assessment of personality and perceptions. The foundation for deep self awareness, which is the starting point on any journey. A good baseline of who you are and how you come across to others. Mapping out your “potential maximization” journey is something we co-create together, as I guide you on this path.

  • TEAM ASSESSMENTS

    Increase team effectiveness through a better understanding of individual personality styles and communication preferences. Similar to the individual assessments, the Team Assessments start with individual debriefs are then brought together into a Team Debrief.  A great way for impactful team building. Fun, engaging and powerfully insightful for all.

I’m here with deliberate focus on huge value-add through my coaching style: “backbone and heart”, an approach to push my clients to extraordinary excellence, beyond their comfort zone and into their growth zone. Along with this, my coach approach shines the leadership spotlight from the inside out. As one of my favourite wisdom gurus, Stephen Covey, teaches personal victories precede public victories. This is the base for our ultimate effectiveness.

My business skills of 25 years, my business acumen and financial expertise as a CPA, CA, PCC my passion for developing strong leaders, and my certification as a Professional Certified Coach, PCC, complete my toolkit that my clients deeply value.

  • PROFESSIONAL & EXECUTIVE COACHING

    Executives often find it ‘lonely at the top’, which can get in the way of optimizing their awesomeness.  My clients experience the profound results, the wonderful impact of having the spotlight shone on their greatness! The entire coaching journey is co-created with my clients…with them owning the content and direction and outcomes…and me providing the safe container, the safe space, the context.

  • TEAM COACHING

    Team effectiveness and performance is optimized when they have a safe space to  grow and develop individually and together. Recognizing that teams are optimized through true leadership where personal victories precede before public victories (Stephen Covey, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People).
