Executive & Leadership Coaching
Navigate the Room. Keep Your Peace.
If you're excelling at work while quietly exhausted, watching decisions get made around you instead of with you, this is where strategy starts. As a Chief Human Resources Officer and SHRM-CP certified HR executive, I bring insider knowledge of how promotion, compensation, and performance decisions really get made, paired with the grounding to lead without losing yourself in the process.
The Credibility
15+ years sitting at the executive tables where leadership decisions get made. Not theory, lived experience, as a Chief Human Resources Officer who has built HR departments from the ground up, advised CEOs and executive teams, and led compensation strategy, performance management, and culture transformation from the inside.
Who This Is For
A woman in a mid-to-senior corporate role who is competent, over-functioning, and often carrying more than her title reflects. She's watched less-qualified peers get promoted past her, been labeled "difficult" for setting boundaries, or done more invisible labor than her role requires. She's not naive about workplace politics, she's lived them. What she doesn't have is someone who can translate what's happening behind closed doors and coach her through it with real strategy.
The Problem This Solves
Most executive coaches teach generic leadership skills without understanding the real dynamics of being underestimated or overlooked inside a system. Internal workplace resources are often symbolic and carry no real power because they report to the same company that's the problem. This coaching sits outside both gaps, grounded in real HR experience, not theory.
How I Work: LeadHERship Excellence
For the woman ready to lead from groundedness instead of reactivity, and values instead of approval, this is your path to strategic clarity and sustainable leadership.
1. Name the Pattern
Before you can lead differently, you have to see how your past is already running the show, overworking to prove worth, avoiding conflict, shrinking in rooms of power, exhaustion from constantly managing how you're perceived. This is where a trauma-informed lens does something a standard leadership program can't: it addresses origin, not just behavior.
2. Separate Identity from Wound
Reclaiming who you are apart from what you survived or proved. This is the bridge phase, where personal growth stops being abstract and starts becoming the foundation for leadership presence that isn't performance.
3. Navigate the Room
Reading organizational dynamics, managing difficult leaders, positioning yourself for promotion and compensation, setting boundaries at work without blowing up relationships. Practical, strategic, grounded in real HR and executive experience.
4. Lead from Solid Ground
Leading others from a healed place instead of a performing one. This is where you become the leader who breaks cycles for the women coming up behind you instead of replicating what was done to you.
5. Sustain It
Guardrails against burnout and backslide. Leadership under pressure will always try to pull you back into old patterns. This phase is what makes the change stick instead of being a one-time breakthrough.

What makes your approach different from other executive coaches?
2
I bring insider knowledge from having sat on the other side of the table as a current Chief Human Resources Officer. That means real strategy on promotion, performance, workplace protection, and employment rights, not generic leadership theory.
Is this coaching, therapy, or consulting?
It's coaching. I draw on real HR experience and strategy, but this isn't therapy and it isn't formal HR consulting for your employer. It's confidential, personal support for you.

How is the Protect Yourself at Work session different from LeadHERship Excellence?
4
Protect Yourself at Work is a single, focused session for something urgent or uncertain right now, a shift you're noticing, a conversation coming up, a decision you need to prepare for. LeadHERship Excellence is a longer, deeper engagement for ongoing leadership growth and strategy. If you start with the single session and want to go further, that cost applies toward LeadHERship Excellence.
