My expertise is in the areas of personal authenticity and leadership presence. Using a range of traditional and non-traditional coaching approaches, I quickly get to the heart of an issue, to bring about a shift in performance. I employ whatever is needed to get the job done, including interviews, assessments, core dynamics and human design information, mediation coaching, shadow and individual coaching. These are delivered in-person, by telephone or via web conference.

I have been accredited since 2004 as a Master Certified Coach (MCC) by the International Coach Federation. I’ve coached business leaders, managers and senior employees on three continents for companies such as Google, Microsoft, GE Healthcare, Cochlear and Lloyds TSB Bank London. From 2006-2008, I worked full-time with a global leadership development company, providing coaching to leaders in Google and Crowe Horwath as well as holding an internal role, evaluating the readiness of colleagues using a company driven assessment tool.

Earlier in my career, I studied media communications in Australia and worked extensively in the media and service industries, as a consultant and in management positions. I co-founded a corporate communications consulting company in Sydney in 1993, helping large publicly traded companies and government agencies graphically display and communicate their vision, values and strategic intent to stakeholders. I sold my holding in the business in 1999. I understand the challenges of making the tough business decisions, of employing and developing people, and of gaining the trust of clients where they want to work with you again and again.

In 1999, I became a founding board member of the International Coach Federation (ICF) in the Australia/Asian regions. I voluntarily serve as an active member of the global ICF Credential Review Committee, which evaluates candidates and certifies professional coaches around the world. 

Originally from Australia, I have lived permanently in the United States since 2001. I am a huge sports enthusiast, having played competitive sport (netball and tennis) earlier in my life. I maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes a regular Bikram Yoga practice and going to the gym. I’m fascinated by the mindset of successful athletes, and coaches such as Phil Jackson of the Los Angeles Lakers. I correlate the habits and focus of high performing athletes and teams to successful business people. I live in Laguna Hills, California with my wonderful husband, Michael.
