I specialize in working with individuals and organizations in the midst of change to leverage the transformative potential that lies in transition and challenge. Through training and coaching, I facilitate self-discovery and leverage the drive each of us has to lead a purposeful and fulfilling life. Drawing on appreciative inquiry and positive psychology, I provide the space for clients to grow their emotional intelligence and clarify their goals, while emboldening them to try out new ideas and behaviors. I am also there to hold them accountable along the way. My practice builds on over 20 years experience working over a dozen countries delivering behavior change programming and building emotional intelligence and other competencies that empower individuals and teams to make life-enhancing choices. I have a BA in Anthropology (Berkeley, 1998 cum laude), an MBA (ESSEC, France, 2000) and an MSFS in International Development (Georgetown, 2006). I also hold a coaching certification from the International Coaching Federation-endorsed Institute for the Professional Excellence in Coaching. I am a mom of two school-aged daughters and recently moved to Seattle. https://www.connectionmatters.org/training daily 0.75 2025-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a0ec24aedeb34ee0eddadf/1708113424836-A22KVF4VEWY49PBRO7GG/image-asset.jpeg Training - Tailored workshops can include training on: Emotional intelligence & leadership Wellbeing and Equity & Inclusion Cross-cultural communication Managing uncertainty Critical thinking Mentorship Team-Building Strategic Planning Coaching conversations Leveraging your strengths Compassion & Accountability https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a0ec24aedeb34ee0eddadf/1708113325336-5UDB05189A4J1UINA7Z0/image-asset.jpeg Training Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, psychology and business, my Leadership and Communication Workshops build emotional intelligence and other competencies vital to creating resonant relationships and maximizing your performance and impact as a leader within your organization, team and life.

Loss of a clear coherent vision? Feeling triggered more often? Less joyful and purpose-driven than you used to feel? Redefine your purpose, reclaim your drive and elevate your influence and impact. Coaching can help you envision new patterns and seize those exciting opportunities. Through coaching, begin to connect again with your passion, then co-create a plan to transform aspirations into reality. I bring individuals and teams through exercises designed to reconnect with signature strengths, define core values and envisage ideal futures. Using coaching tools and appreciative inquiry processes, together we will co-design a plan, leveraging your strengths and building competencies to deploy it to fulfill goals - individually or collectively. Through coaching, flesh out your desires, hone in on your heart’s calling and co-create a plan to realize your goals, in this one life, your life.

Therefore, knowing your past hurts, acknowledging them, and working on them can allow bringing out the best version of ourselves.” - Division Head “I have found clarity in my thoughts when it comes to how do I want to live my live and which values are important for me to live by.” - Professional in career transition “She knows her stuff but isn’t pushy and will provide a custom experience and process that gets at the things you most want to tackle as a parent.” - Dad of two young children Products & Packages: My pricing is intentionally transparent and kept lower than average—transparent because I believe costs should be clear and straightforward, and lower to make coaching more accessible. Rates are set below those typical of psychotherapy (reflecting differences in training) and below those of many coaches, so that more people have the opportunity to benefit from the transformative growth and sustainable shifts coaching affords.
