The longer I practiced, the more I saw that everything could be seen in terms of systems:  the internal systems of the body/ health, the internal thought/ emotional systems of the mind, and external systems of relationships and larger organizational system impacts.  I studied these topics throughout my graduate education, culminating in a PhD in Clinical Psychology with sub-specializations in Organizational Psychology and Systems Psychology in 1994. My doctoral dissertation Healing the Self Through Healing Society: Processes of Motivation in Social Change Leadership examined the interchange of impacts between organizational systems and its leaders. I applied these understandings as an Executive Coach to help develop the Self of the Leader, to build their vision, strengthen their unique intelligence, and fortify their resilience.   I expanded those understandings about work systems by taking undergraduate and graduate classes in business while I worked as an Executive Coach.  All of this informs my practice in Executive Coaching, it is a depth of understanding that most coaches do not offer. My practice as an Executive Coach includes deep knowledge in Leadership Development, Authentic/ Emotional Intelligence, Solution-focused/ Narrative approaches, Servant/ Ethical Leadership concerns, Applied Systemic Team models.  I have applied these models with clients whose work in environment systems that ranges from Fortune 100 to medical/ dental practices, to non-profits, to small family businesses and to entrepreneurs/solopreneurs.

Literally, everyone lives within multiple internal and external systems that intertwine and attempt to force stability, which can manifest as stuckness and frustration.  Likewise, change in one system (eg internal mindset) can lead to dynamic rippling changes in all systems.  Correcting self-imposed limiting thoughts in one arena can lead to a complete change in one’s life for the better. I am well equipped to help with these types of efforts. Once the client understands their unique value and their contribution to the solution, they are able to achieve their goals and the broader their impact. I want to help Leaders manifest their Dreams for the organizations/ people they serve.

Each human is unique, with strengths and opportunities, as well as challenges and problems.  People’s solutions arise out of honoring their innate positive strengths, while learning new ways to embrace and engage with their challenges.  It is my experience that clients enjoy a friendly, direct, and supportive conversation about the problem they want to work on.  There are many ways to understand a problem and it helps to have a competent and skilled outside source to discuss all the possibilities for resolution.

I enjoy understanding and working with people of from many backgrounds, ages, and problems.  Through the process of collaborative discussion, we determine on what you would like to focus and goals are made to achieve the results you would like to see. I would then suggest several models/ viewpoints from which to view your identified problem and goal.  In each session, we would have a caring and competent conversation, practice a skill to enhance your abilities, and define what “homework” you would accomplish before our next session.

Some of the problems that I especially enjoy working with are:
