✔️The Whole Me

Picture Miami Beach at sunrise—turquoise waves flashing in the light, framed by a hum of accents and camera clicks. That same energy runs through my journey of growth and discovery. Guided by my stepmother’s wisdom, “The treasure doesn’t do the hunting,” I returned to sailing and, in the wind and wake, found my voice. From percussionist to professor, mascot to marketer, interior designer to instructional designer, speaker to SaaS CEO, consultant to coach, I’ve sailed through many roles, each one shaping frameworks that unlock potential and fulfillment. My path runs from classrooms to boardrooms, continents to communities, helping people grow integrity, ingenuity, and influence so they leave a lasting mark. Let’s co‑create your bold future—guiding your career with purpose, shaping your legacy, and helping you navigate culture with ease at any age or stage. I help you move beyond performance goals into deeper alignment with who you are, shifting your inner dialogue so you can live truer, simpler, and better with ease—no matter your age or stage.

✔️Charting Courses

Sailing remains an anchor, teaching trust in the crew, creating value, and embracing discovery. As ICF Global Marketing Chair and founding member of the BCC credential, my leadership helped shape the coaching profession. Earning distinctions like EMCC ICTA Team Coach, Conversational Intelligence and Positive Psychology Wellness certifications, and Red Team facilitator set new standards of excellence. Recognition as a NSA Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), Platinum Member at coaching.com and Sage’s Best VAR proves results matter. With Microsoft Certified Educator status and over fifty credentials, depth and breadth are brought to every client. At ManpowerGroup, trusted career coach and change consultant roles supported people through outplacement. Experience spans energizing audiences and steering a global SaaS firm, specializing in turning complexity into momentum. Ready for discovery, engagement, implementation, and energy?
