Advocate Leadership Coaching
Clarity. Intention. Purpose.
About
I believe every leader needs an advocate; a trusted sounding board and thought partner who can help them find clarity, challenge their thinking, and encourage action with intention.
After years of frustration in leadership roles, I entered a graduate program in leadership, where putting theory into practice deepened my understanding of what it means to lead. I came to realize that professional development is personal development; the two cannot be separated.

Today, I partner with new and mid-level leaders through a coaching journey grounded in their unique context, experiences, and aspirations. Coaching does not give leaders a formula for how they should lead. Instead, coaching creates the space for them to step back, think deeply, challenge assumptions, and discover new possibilities.
From that space, leaders can move forward with greater Clarity, Intention, and Purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Coaching?
Coaching is about you, not me giving advice. I listen and ask questions to help you think things through, get clear on what matters, and figure out your next steps.
How is coaching different from consulting?
A consultant tells you what to do. A coach helps you find your own answers. You set the direction; I am here to help you think more clearly and move forward.
