As a Co-Active Coach

As a leadership and life coach, I assume people want more vibrancy, more choice, and to live life more fully. I help professionals to create a life that honors their personal values and gives them fulfillment. I seek to push people out of their comfort zone, to challenge them, and risk upsetting their “status quo.” I provide the tools for leaders to become better versions of themselves, improve their relationships, and maximize their potential. I believe we are ALL leaders. We lead teams, families, and our own lives. I also assist professionals to identify what's next, perhaps a promotion, second career, or retirement.

Coaching is a partnership between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize personal and professional potential.

As an Agile Coach

I help teams become better versions of themselves. I enjoy driving change, learning new things, and helping others learn and succeed. I believe in following the Agile values and principles.

After years of hands on coding and team management, I spent several years doing project management and then developed and expertise with Agile and the Scrum framework, most recently as a trainer, coach, ScrumMaster, and Agile Leader and Champion.

My approach emphasizes leadership, collaboration, and communication. In me you get someone skilled at bridging the gap between product/business partners and technical associates, coordinating cross-functional people, improving processes, designing and delivering solutions that meet business needs, and managing co-located and virtual teams.
