Lead Better at Work and Life

Executive Leadership & Coaching in Minnesota

From Athlete to Leadership Catalyst.

Coaching has been my passion for over 40 years.

It started on the court as a high school athlete, and continued through college as a Division 1 student-athlete Husker Volleyball Player at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

My knowledge and experiences deepened in 2008 when my husband deployed and led an Attack Helicopter Battalion to the War in Iraq. I took my leadership to the next level by facilitating workshops, speaking to audiences, developing programs, and training other coaches.

Build Self Awareness

Great leadership starts with knowing yourself. Through coaching you will:

  • Get to know yourself better
  • Clarify what you really want
  • Understand why you do what you do
  • Replace unhelpful patterns with healthier ones

My approach is built on the principle that people learn best through self-discovery, and everyone has the potential to move forward with greater success and confidence.
