Ripple Effect Coaching and Consulting

What’s Your Signature Presence?

I bring a deep belief in growth and development to every interaction I have. I take into account not only the impact of my direct work (whether it be 1:1 or team coaching, facilitation, or design) but the broader ripple effect on organizations, customers, and communities. I bring curiosity, empathy, and clarity to conversations, and I love to play with a good powerful metaphor.

Who Is Your Ideal Client?

My ideal team clients are those who are experiencing misalignment, dysfunction, or other frustrations. Perhaps they're stuck in "storming" (or even in "forming") and want to move through "norming" to "performing". My ideal 1:1 client is generally someone who's a well-regarded expert in their field, but who struggles with optimizing their leadership. I love to bring a systems lens to my 1:1 and team coaching, so I'm generally working with either senior leaders or those who operate in a fairly complex context.

What Kind of Work Are You Most Passionate About Doing?

The messier, the better, when it comes to coaching. I love coaching "tricky" leaders, I love improving relationships through an Acceleration Process, and I also love co-coaching leadership teams who are dysfunctional or misaligned. I'm also a great partner for co-designing and co-facilitating leadership development programs.
