I started my professional career in the military during which I enjoyed many years serving in a variety of international assignments. My overseas experience (and my own foreign language studies) often helps me to connect well with coaching clients who are not native English speakers. I have a passion for personality psychology, and I like to help clients become the best version of themselves by taking skilled, wise, and mature action. I’ve noticed that people often get in their own way by being too passive (or even passive-aggressive) in their approach to life and leadership--and this tendency causes much pain and frustration. I support clients to confidently and assertively get more of what they want out of life and work.
