The Climb
The 16 years I spent working long and hard to climb the corporate ladder in a traditionally male industry.
The Coaching Practice
Why I Coach
I want to see more women succeed in leadership roles.
Many women are talented, driven, and soundly qualified to be a leader. But negative external voices or negative internal thoughts can cause you to question your qualifications, doubt your proficiencies and as a direct result, your overall productivity suffers. That’s where I come in!
As a success coach, I will help you strengthen and rebuild your confidence to sharpen the skills necessary to maximize your performance.

My Story
I’m so grateful for the rich experiences and exposure that have served to shape my leadership journey. During the early years in broadcasting, there were very few women in leadership roles and the concept of securing a success coach simply didn’t exist. So I mirrored the effective leaders, I learned what “not” to do from the ineffective ones, I took advantage of all personal development opportunities, and after much trial and error, I crafted my own set of power skills that allowed me to successfully advance through my career.
When I reflect upon my journey, I see 3 seasons:
C-Suite Live
