What coaching services do you provide?

I provide individual executive coaching, leadership coaching, and transition coaching. My group services include team offsite facilitation, training, and leadership circles. The leadership circles are often for leaders with a similar role (e.g., Partners) or identity (working parents, LGBTQ+).

What services do you provide in addition to coaching?

I can review a resume, but I do not write them. I can provide mock interviews. I also can administer online and interview-based 360 degree reviews as well as many assessments (Hogan, Enneagram, StandOut, Intercultural Development Inventory). For teams, I can also do the Psychological Safety Index.

What is your coaching philosophy?

I see my clients as whole, capable, and resourceful. My role is to give them the space to tap into their own wisdom, not to tell them what they should do. I believe that a relationship rooted in kindness makes it easier to address the greatest challenges for the client, including the ways they may be getting in their own way. With permission, I am not afraid to share observations or curiosities that might be connected to the client's coaching challenge.

What interests or excites you about coaching women lawyers?

I love working with lawyers because I find them to be smart, driven, and motivated by coaching. Law school does not teach you how to be an effective leader, or how to effectively manage oneself, which means most of my law clients are deeply interested in developing new skills. I am energized to work with women attorneys because they are often juggling multiple identities and roles, and they are at the forefront of making the practice of law more diverse, healthier, and more sustainable. These are challenges law firms need to resolve to develop a pipeline of attorneys who want to become partners.
