• a challenger to your automatic programming - I help you learn new behaviors that best support who you want to be more often

• an accountability partner to ensure progress

• a provider of meaningful recognition to remind you of what’s right and already going well

• a sounding board and tactical thought partner to sharpen your vision and the literal action steps needed to get you there

• a lifelong study of human behavior and potential - I have been wondering what makes people tick since I was a kid, which shapes my every day lens and the continued education I pursue

• data-driven tools like CliftonStrengths, Gallup’s employee engagement frameworks, and applied neuroscience research

• a career as an experiential designer - from my time as a hospitality manager and as a brand consultant working on packaging design to my role as a coach and facilitator, I know how to create the circumstances for deep connection and growth

• the study of biomimicry and the countless examples of leadership, teamwork, innovation, resilience, creativity, and more that nature provides

• the common language and cognitive shortcut of visualization and metaphor - because sometimes words limit our emotional clarity and discovery of what’s next

• the ability to identify the impact of your nonverbal and subtle cues like facial expression, tone of voice, and body language

• a focus on the bigger picture AND the tactical day-to-day to support that vision

• experience in a high level pursuit of sports that exposed me to the power of excellent coaching from a young age

• Direct and not afraid to call out what is getting in your way

• Well studied and experienced but with a sincere understanding that no two individuals or teams are alike

• Instinctual and intuitive

• Informal and personable - I find the more casual and real I am, the more at ease my clients are, which leads to deeper work

• Warm, supportive, passionate yet light-hearted - I believe our time together should feel meaningful and fun! Tears + laughter + major moments of discovery often go hand in hand

• Both conceptual and tactical because sometimes a focus on the bigger picture is most needed and other times a session that leaves you with tangible work product is the best use of your time

I leverage the CliftonStrengths behavioral assessment as a foundational tool to understand how my clients are wired, what gives them energy, what will set them up for success, how they learn, etc.

My personal results = Communication, Connectedness, Positivity, Empathy, Activator.

Relationship Building and Influencing are my core areas of talent. That means my biggest motivators are people and a mission that matters. I lead with instinct and back that up with emotional data collection and a strategic mind.

Here’s what I bring and need to be successful.

• Design minded since birth — I was born and raised in New York City in a family of artists

• I grew up with a profound appreciation for human beings, animals, and plants

• B.A. in Psychology and minor in Sociology from Middlebury College

• M.P.S.B. (Masters in Professional Studies in Branding) from the School of Visual Arts

• Entire career has been the study of human behavior - hospitality management to experiential event designer and brand strategist to leadership coach and facilitator

• 8+ years at WYLD Leadership as a Founding Partner and Executive Development Coach

Individual clients who come to me are typically at the VP / Executive level or on a steep trajectory to get there.

The senior leaders I support are from scaling startups to Fortune 500 companies in industries ranging from hospitality, lifestyle, and non-profits to healthcare, consumer packaged goods, finance, and technology.

What do they all have in common? They are ambitious people whose work is an important source of purpose and fulfillment. They proactively develop the capabilities required to lead with confidence and effectiveness in today’s complex workplace.
