Awaken Your Inner Wisdom

Transform How You Lead, Live, and Impact the World

Leadership isn't just about managing teams or driving results—it's about stepping fully into who you're meant to be. Through personalized coaching grounded in equity and transformation, I partner with leaders ready to break through limiting beliefs, cultivate authentic presence, and create lasting impact.

 

I will not die an unlived life
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.

— Dawna Markova

This poem inspired my guiding principle: "Risk Your Significance" because authentic leadership requires the courage to fully inhabit your life and leadership, even when it feels uncertain or vulnerable. It's about choosing growth over safety, justice over comfort, and living so fully that your transformation becomes a gift to others.

My Coaching Approach

Coaching for Transformation is the foundation of my practice—deep work that helps you access your inner wisdom, navigate challenges, and lead with authenticity. This approach goes beyond skill-building to support fundamental shifts in how you see yourself and your leadership. 

Positive Intelligence (PQ) offers a research-based framework for building mental fitness. PQ can be experienced as a focused standalone program or integrated into deeper Coaching for Transformation work, giving you practical tools to quiet your inner critic and strengthen your wise, compassionate self.

Embodied practices are woven throughout all my coaching work. True leadership happens when you can access your full intelligence—not just your thinking mind, but also your body's wisdom and intuitive knowing. Through somatic practices and reflection, you'll develop greater presence, resilience, and the ability to make decisions that align with your deepest values.

Together, these approaches help you:

Cultivate Self-Awareness – Understand your patterns, values, and inner wisdom
Develop Mental Fitness – Build resilience and respond from your highest self
Embody Authentic Leadership – Integrate mind, body, and spirit in your decisions
Align Values with Action – Create coherence between who you are and how you lead
Navigate Complex Challenges – Transform obstacles into opportunities for growth


Coaching for Transformation

Unlock your inner wisdom and harness your innate power

For leaders ready to risk their significance and embark on profound personal and professional fulfillment, we'll transform limiting beliefs, develop authentic presence, and align your actions with your core values. This work helps you harness your innate power to manifest your deepest aspirations while fostering the deeper relationships that authentic leadership requires

Coaching Partner Reflections

I hold my coaching relationships sacred. In keeping with my commitment to confidentiality, I don’t share client names–only their reflections on our work together. What you’ll read here comes directly from people I’ve supported on their journey.

Positive Intelligence (PQ) Coaching

Quiet your saboteurs, strengthen your sage

Positive Intelligence helps you shift the balance of power from your inner Saboteurs (your negative self) to your inner Sage (your positive self). Through this program, you'll develop the mental fitness to handle challenges with calm confidence and tap into your full potential. 

Curious about your own saboteurs? Take the free Saboteur Assessment to discover which inner critics might be limiting your potential.

Individual PQ Coaching

Available as a focused 7-week program or integrated into longer coaching engagements

PQ Pod Experiences

Leadership Pods — For executives, managers, and emerging leaders. Can be formed with colleagues/friends, as a team, or matched with others in similar roles

Sage Mama Program — For groups of working mothers navigating leadership with purpose and balance. As a mother of two, I understand the unique challenges of leading while parenting. When working moms come together for PQ, they gain clarity on priorities and develop sustainable approaches to leadership that honor both professional aspirations and family commitments.
