Personal Statement
My education as a scientist and experience in the corporate space were training grounds for the work I do as a coach that truly inspires me every day. Having spent many hours of my day being productive and trying to perfect my skills, I understand the pressures professionals face at work and the sacrifices they make for their careers, to move up, have a greater impact, make a difference and create high quality products. Coaching for me is the opportunity to connect and co-create a safe space for conversations that most don’t have in a day’s work. One of the privileges of coaching that I never take for granted is the opening to hear about my client’s deepest desires, and what excites and motivates them most. Once these aspirations are shared, the coaching process helps bring them to life.
