HI, IT’S NICE TO MEET YOU

I am The Practicing Practitioner.

I’m a coach, trainer and organization development consultant.

I help individuals, groups and organizations listen to themselves and each other, so they can figure out what’s working, what could work better, and how to get from here to there.

Making progress as an individual, group or organization takes a lot of practice in how we understand ourselves, engage with others and go about getting our work done. This might look like an individual navigating a career change, a team doing a half day training, or an organization increasing innovation and agility. That’s where I come in. I help people practice the things they need to practice so they can do the things they want to do.

I am a seasoned professional with twenty years in strategy, marketing, communications and change management.

I draw from theory and research and create approachable, actionable tools. Key components of my approach are growth mindset, appreciative intelligence, emotional intelligence, working with difference and unlocking innovation.

I have training in organization development, knowledge management, leadership development, facilitation, coaching, inclusion and accessibility. I am currently pursuing a Masters in Organization and Knowledge Management from the Schar School of Policy at George Mason University, targeting graduation in May, 2025. I am also pursuing my Associate Certified Coach (ACF) from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) targeting completion in summer, 2025.
