Business practices that improve outcomes for communities and individuals plus organizational development have been my career focus.
You're successful, but you keep hitting ceilings you can't get past. You work tirelessly, are a non-stop learner and do-er and your efforts seem fruitless. You're driven, and systemic barriers keep holding you back. You give until you have nothing left to give and you have no idea how to get your own needs met in return.

Do you need leadership and career guidance?
Congratulations on taking the first step towards making some life changes. I understand because I've been there. Sometimes we all need a little support in achieving our goals.

The coaching process works well in any area of your life you want to develop or change. The hardest part is taking the first step and I work with men and women who do just that.
