Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach | Creative Leadership Coach

As a coach and facilitator, I partner with changemakers, leaders, and builders of better futures. Together we navigate growth, complexity, and pressure, helping you spark courageous conversations, lead with clarity; amplify and sustain your impact.

Here’s how I support your journey: 

Individual Leadership Development Coaching

Amplify your unique leadership impact by focusing on your innate strengths, not deficits. Strengths-based coaching empowers you to:

• Transform self-awareness into strategic advantage using the Clifton Strengths framework
• Foster inner presence and resilience through micro shifts, making growth sustainable and authentic
• Soften the inner critic and cultivate confident, courageous decision-making for lasting impact

As your coach, I parter with you to help you lead with ease, creativity, and genuine presence, using the research-backed power of strengths development and Positive Intelligence.

Teams Development

Bring out the best in every team member by leveraging their natural strengths to build trust, clarity, and collaboration. Turn differences into momentum. I offer strengths-based team labs that make talents visible, reduce friction, and build working agreements.

Strengths-based team development offers:

• Rapid alignment of individual talents to shared goals
• Creative tools to navigate conflict as opportunity
• Practical approaches for psychological safety and resilience

Grow your team’s performance with a proven approach that values difference, celebrates strengths, and transforms team dynamics from within.​

Leadership Retreats: Where Strengths Ignite Breakthroughs

Standalone or plug-in module for your planned offsite

A focused, strengths-based retreat that turns real business tensions into creative momentum. Not “team-building”, a guided reset that sharpens purpose, elevates collaboration, and ships concrete next steps. Drop this in as a half-day, one-day, or two-day module within your existing retreat agenda. (I integrate with your goals, timebox, and venue)

Core elements

• Strengths-Activated Discovery to reveal how each person’s talents fuels outcomes
• Disrupt & Create – Innovation labs to break habitual patterns and spark bold approaches
• Collective Creativity – Cross-discipline storytelling and dialogic sensemaking to turn constructive tension into decisions
• Renewal & Presence – practices to restore clarity, joy, and creative focus

What you leave with is a strengths-based blueprint, innovation playbook and leaders who return with renewed inner resources to navigate complexity.

Ideal for executive and cross-functional teams ready to harness diverse strengths, dissolve silos, and invent the future they’re willing to lead.

With over 20 years of leadership experience across countries, cultures, and both private and nonprofit sectors, I understand how demanding it is to lead in today’s complex world, and how much courage it takes to create the one we need.
