Speaker / Trainer
I provide ready-made inspirational interactive training and presentations that foster the development of you and your organization. The following topics can be customized to meet the your needs:
What is End-of-Career / Retirement Coaching and How Can It Help My Organization – Overview of end-of-career planning and pre-retirement coaching. Included are activities such as succession planning, and exploring beliefs, emotions, and attitudes that impact more seasoned employees later in their careers.
Preparing YOU for that Next Major Life Transition – Most people experience 5-7 major life transitions (e.g., change in marital status, careers, loss, company bought) that require them to re-evaluate their life or their organization. We review the cycles of endings -> transition -> new beginnings and what you can do to move you through these cycles.
Improv to Improve – Engage in a lively and interactive workshop that employs improvisational techniques to enhance engagement and communication.
Improv for a Coaching Mindset – Use improv techniques to explore the International Coaching Federation (ICF) core competency – Coaching Mindset. After each improv technique, participate in a discussion on what you learned and how to improv your leadership or coaching skills. Each session is grounded in being present, curious, flexible, and client-centered.
Braving the Transition from Mistrust to Trust – As leaders, we often encounter situations where we lack trust in our team or colleagues. This session will facilitate a discussion on transitioning from mistrust to trust.
Transitioning from Sage on the Stage to Guide on the Side to Empower Teams – This presentation will elucidate the distinction between being a ‘Sage on the Stage’ and a ‘Guide on the Side,’ provide strategies for implementing each approach, and help you determine the optimal times to adopt these roles.
Combating Burnout – Learn leadership strategies for when you or your staff are experiencing burnout.
Exploring How Confidence Leads to Successful Teams – Gain an understanding of confidence and methods to reclaim it.
Finding Your Way Out of the FOG (Fear, Obligation, Guilt) and Stop Procrastinating – Participants will engage in experiential learning to reflect, gain awareness, and develop resilience, enabling intentional procrastination.
Assessments
Evidence‑based assessments to deepen self‑awareness, strengthen leadership, and elevate team performance.
The following insight‑driven assessments (DiSC, PrinciplesYou/US, and more) support career growth and leadership development for individuals and teams.
1. DISC profile assessments for professional success
This assessment measures and provides insight into four primary behavioral tendencies and emotions, and explores how these come together in a personal blend of styles to create our DISC style:
D – Dominance: Direct and Guarded, Fast-paced and Task-oriented, Focuses on Problems & Challenges. Individuals with this style are frequently identified as Assertive.
I – Influence: Direct and Open, Fast-paced and People-oriented, Focuses on People & Contacts,. Individuals with this style are frequently identified as Persuasive.
S – Steadiness: Indirect and Open, Slow-paced and People-oriented, Focuses on Pace & Consistency. Individuals with this style are frequently identified as Supportive.
C- Conscientiousness: Indirect and Guarded, Slow-paced and Task-oriented, Focuses on Procedures & Constraints. Individuals with this style are frequently identified as Analytical.
2. Discover Why People Do What They Do — Motivators Assessment
The Motivators Assessment reveals the underlying reasons people choose certain actions and priorities. Where DISC explains how someone behaves, Motivators explains why — exposing the values and belief systems that shape decisions and drive performance.
What it measures: Motivators identify a person’s value hierarchy — the internal drivers that filter choices and shape priorities. Understanding these drivers increases self-awareness, improves team alignment, and helps leaders match roles and responsibilities to what truly motivates each person.
The seven motivator dimensions:
- Aesthetic: Drive for balance, harmony, and form.
- Economic: Drive for return on investment of time, money, and resources.
- Individualistic: Drive to stand out as independent and unique.
- Power: Drive to influence, lead, or control outcomes.
- Altruistic: Drive to help others, often at personal cost.
- Regulatory: Drive to create order, routine, and structure.
- Theoretical: Drive for knowledge, learning, and understanding. Each dimension combines uniquely to shape priorities and decision-making.
Business benefits:
- Faster role fit and hiring decisions.
- Improved coaching conversations that target core drivers.
- Stronger team alignment by matching tasks to motivators.
- Greater retention through meaningful work design.
3. 360° Feedback to Accelerate Leadership Growth
The Leadership Effectiveness 360° gathers structured feedback from supervisors, peers, direct reports, and the leader’s self-assessment to deliver a comprehensive view of leadership strengths and development opportunities. The assessment is designed to increase self-awareness, guide development plans, and measure progress over time.
How it works:
- Multi-rater feedback collects perspectives across the leader’s ecosystem.
- Actionable report highlights strengths, blind spots, and prioritized development goals.
- Coaching-ready insights support targeted leadership coaching and succession planning.
Why use it:
- Objective, evidence-based feedback for promotion readiness and leadership development.
- Improves team performance by aligning leader behaviors with organizational expectations.
Coaching
Your world may feel uncertain or turbulent. You may not yet know what comes next. I’m here to help you transform and navigate this season of life so you can unlock what your heart truly desires.
Who this work is for:
My coaching is a strong fit for people who are:
- Navigating major transitions such as new leadership roles, career change, retirement, empty‑nesting, or identity shifts.
- Feeling the effects of aging and wanting to live and work with dignity, mobility, and vitality.
- Searching for clearer voice, purpose, or direction.
- Moving through stress, overwhelm, or a vague sense that something is shifting.
- Seeking depth, authenticity, and sustained change rather than quick fixes or performance alone.
You don’t need perfect clarity to begin. You only need the willingness to explore.
