soft skills for hard thinkers
Coaching | Workshops | Team Development
I work with leaders to…
gain influence in their organizations
get work done through others
resolve conflict with grace and confidence
show up with presence
I’ve worked with hundreds of lawyers, scientists, engineers, consultants, doctors, and other professionals to develop the “softer” side of their leadership.
I help leaders find their voices and communicate in challenging situations — giving feedback, presenting to senior audiences, inspiring, pushing back, sharing ideas in busy environments — and create the space for others to share their perspectives by leveraging skilled listening, meaningful inquiry, and self-management.
