COACH BIOSKETCH

Four years ago, I was facilitating a contentious collaborative public policy decision making process and negotiation in Wyoming. People were behaving really badly. A light bulb went off – I realized that the work needs to start upstream for people to be successful, and that I wanted to help people develop the leadership skills necessary to thrive in adaptive, collaborative, complex situations.

I became a Newfield Certified Coach and later an ICF accredited coach in 2018, and simultaneously began volunteer coaching with RIHEL. I also have training in conflict coaching, the neuroscience of coaching, and transformative mediation. I am also certified to administer and coach around the EQi2.0 and the TESI survey (emotional and social intelligence assessments).

I love supporting people in making leaps forward in their personal and professional leadership skills – and in making a positive impact on the world in whatever ways matter to them. I have worked with nonprofit leaders, consultants, people working with public agencies at the local/state/federal level, experienced professionals contemplating career changes and leaps forward and emerging professionals just getting started.

In addition to my coaching practice, I work as a consultant, facilitator, and trainer. I am also the Director of the Collaboration Program in Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming.

I live in SE Wyoming with my husband and two dogs. We are busy renovating our new house one room at a time, and have our fingers crossed for a good snow year so we don’t go crazy with the pandemic. I also love to cook, read, travel (or daydream about same), explore the mountains, and learning new things.
