Instructor
I help people do more and stress less while improving leadership and communication skills.
Yes, I want to kill it at work. But I also want a great life outside of work, with lots of time for myself. Don’t you?
But instead:
- You find yourself feeling like the day just slips away, with not much crossed off the list.
- The work does get done...eventually, but you’re exhausted.
- Those personal projects? They’ve fallen by the wayside. You’ve got the best of - intentions but it just. Doesn’t. Happen.
That’s where I come in. I’ll help you:
- Stop constantly worrying that you have forgotten to do something, or are behind on something. And those things you aren’t doing? It’ll be because you CHOSE not to do them. Not because you dropped the ball.
- Prioritize effectively so that you can spend the right amount of time on the right things...for you, your family and your job.
- Have more time for play and rest, and kick any guilt about it to the curb.
I spent the first 15+ years of my career managing operations and HR at several early-stage start-ups, where there was way more to do than people to do it. Burnout was rampant. While working in these high-stress environments (and having a couple of kids along the way), I started developing and implementing strategies for productivity at work, and in my personal life, to ensure that goals were met, balls were not dropped, and that, most importantly, stress didn’t get the best of me.
And just in case you care about this sort of thing:
- I’ve worked with some of the biggest companies out there (Google, Lyft, Workday, CapitalOne, and more.)
- With a background in HR, I am SPHR and SHRM-SCP certified and I hold an RCC coaching certification as well.
- Coach Foundation has recognized me by selecting me as a "top coach".
