Great leaders are extremely self-aware, and they pay close attention to those around them. I support people to be more effective in all of their relationships, which is the foundation of achieving what they want to get done in the world. I founded Strategisense in 2000 primarily to support hardworking organizations in the social purpose, non-profit and publicly-funded sectors. My core work focuses on creating transformational and lasting change through coaching, supporting those leaders who are driven to build a case for change, rally and inspire, challenge the status quo and sustain momentum to deliver their mission with greater impact.
As founder and CEO, I lead our strategy, leadership and organizational development services which include clarifying strategic intent and planning, organizational change management, governance development, leadership development and coaching, and team effectiveness.

Our work as leaders is to get better at learning and to understand the power and agency we have to create the outcomes we want. Once we have done that, we can begin to support others.
My mission is to support purpose-driven leaders to create the future we most need: a future where care for people and for the planet is at the center of decision-making. I work with leaders who aim to create human-centered, adaptive organizations with cultures that are focused on learning, co-creation, and care. As Director of Learning and Development at Strategisense, I lead a team of coaches, facilitators, and learning designers creating learning experiences and culture change initiatives that equip these leaders with the skill sets and mindsets to lead change within themselves, with others, and within systems.
From my very first role, I have dedicated my career to leadership development, and have designed and delivered programs for emerging leaders, managers, and senior leaders, with a continued focus on leading oneself, engaging others, and leading system change. My experience spans the non-profit sector and entrepreneurial or startup cultures within the tech sector.
I am a system thinker and can zoom in and out with ease. This helps me to develop an empathetic understanding of an individual’s experience, and then zoom out to see the big picture, the system of relationships and organizational culture they are operating within, and the vision for the program or curriculum I might create to support their learning journey. I am always learning and growing, and co-creating with brilliant, growth-oriented people as well. I believe that when learning is at the core of everything you do and offer the world, you can’t help but feel optimistic that you are contributing to a much better future.

I believe we lead without a title, and that leadership starts with leading SELF above anything else.
I have an appetite for life-long learning, emotional intelligence, and servant leadership. Connecting with individuals and helping them see obstacles as opportunities is what drives me in my position at Strategisense and what I bring to our clients daily.
When I started my career, I realized there was a lack of training in interpersonal skills needed in teams within organizations, therefore, I created a module to empower the employees. Within this experience, I built mentorship programs and organization Executive Coaching Programs to lead a global Coaching Practice supporting leaders
As an executive coach, I bring a unique approach to helping my clients achieve their goals. With over 10 years of experience in the non-profit, hospitality, and retirement living sector, I understand the challenges that leaders face and the importance of cultivating a strong sense of purpose and resilience. My coaching style is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a deep understanding of the unique needs of everyone I work with. Whether you’re looking to develop your leadership skills, overcome obstacles, or take your career to the next level, I am committed to helping you unlock your full potential and achieve your most ambitious goals.

Courageous leadership with a clear vision is the key to professional leadership. Courageous leadership is when you can tap into your inner leadership, listen to your inner voice, and lead a change that is much needed in society. When you start to create and live fully into who you are rather than trying to be someone else.
My mission is to facilitate and co-create environments of learning and growth for leaders, with a focus on supporting individuals in getting in touch with their inner leadership. My approach is human-centric, strength-based, and relational with an anti-oppressive lens. Coaching is about creating and supporting individuals in developing life-affirming futures.
I have always been passionate about human growth and potential. My interests span from supporting individuals in tapping into their hidden potential to supporting them to lead positive change. This is what has guided my career as a professional coach. In my continued efforts working alongside leaders, I have started to pay close attention to how systemic barriers, our identities, and larger sociocultural conditions interact and intersect with individual experiences. My strengths-based, human-centric relational approach has started to expand to integrate anti-oppressive and life-affirming values in my work.
My background in psychotherapy and psychology, integrated with knowledge and understanding of coaching and organizational systems makes me a coach who can hold an individual lens as well as a systemic lens while working with my clients. Clients often experience working with me as empowering, liberating, and transformative. I enjoy co-creating experiences of learning and growth. I see myself as a lifelong learner. This work not only supports leaders in being more effective, but it supports my personal learning and growth as well. And supporting leaders from mission-driven organizations to be more effective in what they do, and enhancing the positive impact they have on society, is deeply satisfying.\

Effective communication and fostering a collaborative culture with staff are some of the key traits successful leadership, that create opportunities not only for the organization but for teams as a whole. Great leaders create leaders, not followers. They give their team members tools to advance their skills, and ultimately to transform their roles and careers.
My mission is to start each day with a plan to accomplish at least one thing, regardless of how small that task or thing may be. Small wins lead to significant wins and success over the long run. Therefore, I aim to create value in everything I do. Whether I am working with our clients to identify and implement a successful search strategy, or helping our candidates realize their own goals and identify their dream opportunities and ideal work environments. An intentional impact is my goal. Creating opportunities is what drew me into the recruitment industry. Connecting great leaders with great organizations and creating opportunities for both parties.
Success is when we place an exceptional candidate with a client who could not fill the position or find top talent, in addition to finding an exceptional opportunity for a candidate that was looking to change his role. Success provides an exceptional experience for both our valued clients and candidates.
I enjoy helping our valued clients find exceptional talent to support meaningful work in the communities they serve. It feels satisfying to place a candidate who was, for example, looking for a challenge and more responsibilities in their role at an organization that needs an executive who will help transform the organization and support the organization’s mission and values. The stories I can create with recruitment are my superpower.
