About Me
I help leaders and teams achieve outstanding results by intentionally envisioning, enacting and evolving their shared future. I have over thirty years experience coaching leaders and teams to perform to their potential and make a lasting impact in their world. I bring a partnering mindset, deep, insightful listening, and a creative, holistic approach to every engagement.
Throughout my career, I've been fascinated by the tension between our human need for connection and the fact that we are designed for survival and have emotion-based reactions that make us focus on ourselves. I am passionate about cross-cultural communication and how to help teams with diverse members make the most of their differences and achieve synergy.
I managed intercultural training programs at Procter & Gamble in Japan and led organizational transformation and leadership development efforts at Hewlett-Packard. Some of my clients include Nike, Aptar, Hyster-Yale group, the City of Fort Collins, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, and Providence.
In my off time, I enjoy hiking, yoga, photography, International films, hanging out with friends and chilling with my husband and our cats.
