Unlock Leadership Potential

I help senior leaders navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and accelerate growth through services designed to turn insight into action, provide thoughtful guidance, and create meaningful outcomes.

ONE-ON-ONE COACHING
ASSESSMENTS
SPEAKING & FACILITATION
Using tools that encourage self-reflection and bold action, I inspire clients to sharpen business aspirations and create strategies to reach them.
How I Work With My Clients:
1. Set Goals & Milestones
The client shares preferences and expectations. Key information about their background, current circumstances and values is gathered, and a specific, measurable and meaningful coaching objective is co-designed.
2. Gather Insights
Assessments and stakeholder feedback are used to identify strengths, blind spots, and key opportunities for development.
3. Take Action
Regular coaching sessions are conducted over 3–8 months, insights are applied to real-time challenges and new behaviors are embedded through practice.
4. Measure & Sustain Results
Progress is reviewed against defined milestones, outcomes are captured, and tools and habits are consolidated to ensure lasting impact.
I use a range of validated tools to illuminate blind spots, reinforce strengths, and accelerate leadership growth. Each assessment includes a full debrief and integration into the coaching process to ensure results are applied.

Identify strengths, potential derailers, and values driving performance.
Leadership Circle Profile 360

EQ-i 2.0 & EQ360

CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder)

About

Guided By Purpose

Meaningful work begins with intention. My values and experiences in work, life, and the community all shape how I support others.

In My Work
The common thread in my career has been helping people act in ways that align with what truly matters: to themselves, their teams, and their organizations. I coach senior leaders at critical times, helping them tackle stretch roles, scale their organizations, and navigate complex transitions. My motivation comes from supporting others to make an impact.
On My Time
Outside of my professional life, I hike Toronto’s ravines, play in a Catchball league, cheer on the Jays with my husband and three teens, and host large Friday night dinners at home — activities that keep me grounded, energized, and inspired.
In My Community
Giving back is central to my career. I volunteer as a career coach for recently homeless and at-risk women through Up With Women, mentor innovators through the Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation, and support young female athletes as a Board Member of the Tween Girls Hockey League (TGHL). I also share insights on leadership development and career advancement through speaking engagements and written contributions to industry groups, prominent business schools and national media.
