Most professionals who feel stuck
aren't lacking drive.

They're lacking clarity.

They're good at what they do — often very good — but they've hit a ceiling they can't quite name.

Maybe a promotion isn't materializing.

Maybe a career pivot feels overdue but overwhelming.

Maybe their leadership has plateaued and they're not sure why.

Maybe they're interviewing and not landing, even when they're the most qualified person in the room.

The answer isn’t to just work harder. It's gaining a clearer picture of where you are, what you genuinely bring, and what growth, change, or positioning you need for what’s next.

That's exactly where I work.

WHO I WORK WITH

Executives and senior leaders
Lead with more impact
You are stepping into a bigger role, leading through change, or ready to sharpen how you influence. We work on presence, decisions, and the relationships that decide your next move.
Professionals in transition
Move with a clear direction
You are changing roles, industries, or employers, or you were laid off. We build a clear story, a focused search, and the confidence to win the offer.
Sponsors
Invest in a leader on your team
You lead a team or support one in HR or talent, and you want a high-potential or senior leader to grow faster. I partner with you and the leader to set goals and keep the work focused on results.

Three ways I engage.

FOR COACHING SPONSORS

If you're investing in a leader's growth.

Managers, executives, and HR and talent leaders bring me in to coach a leader through a transition, a bigger role, or a stretch.

Here is how sponsored coaching works.

Aligned from the start
We begin with a conversation with you, the leader, and me to agree on goals and what success looks like for the role and the organization.
Confidential by design
Coaching is a confidential process between the coach and leader. The leader chooses what they will share with the sponsor. The coach is there to support any conversations with their sponsor as requested by the leader.
Progress you can see
I check in with you and the leader at set points on progress, and we adjust the plan as the leader's role and priorities change.

QUESTIONS

What people ask before we start.

  • Executives, senior leaders, and experienced professionals, from leaders taking on bigger roles to people changing careers or searching for their next one.

  • I coach and advise leaders, and I have also hired them. After 20+ years in talent acquisition leadership, I know how hiring and promotion decisions get made, and I pair that with Hudson-certified executive coaching.

  • Yes. I help with direction, positioning, interviews, and offers, and I bring the recruiter—and hiring manager's—point of view to each.

  • Sessions are 1:1 and virtual, with a plan and next steps after each one. Sessions are typically 60 minutes in length, with the client choosing the both the frequency (typically every one to two weeks) and total number of sessions.
