Building a Professional Network That Matters

When it comes to career growth, the adage "It's not what you know, it's who you know" carries significant weight. However, building a professional network that truly matters goes beyond collecting business cards or adding thousands of LinkedIn connections. Meaningful networking is about creating authentic, reciprocal relationships that stand the test of time and foster personal and professional growth.

Skills for Staying Relevant in the Workforce

Technological advances, evolving business models, and shifting cultural values are reshaping how we work, communicate, and collaborate.

This may be particularly true in the eroding era of middle management. 

Navigating Career Transitions Successfully

Transitions are an inevitable part of life and work, but they often feel like the most uncertain. Years ago, I earned certification in William Bridges Transitions materials, resources designed to deepen practitioner skills in guiding individuals and organizations through these pivotal moments. This certification equipped me with new tools to help people understand and manage transitions and recognize the value and growth potential in the "in-between" times—the space between what was and what's coming next.

Executive Coaching: Leveraging Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging for Competitive Innovation

In my executive coaching practice, I prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) to drive leadership success.

Leadership isn't just about climbing the corporate ladder—it's about elevating everyone with you. Great methods, grounded in real-world expertise, focus on fostering both personal and professional growth to elevate leaders to their full potential. By confronting leadership pain points, a coach can improve professional effectiveness, personal well-being, happiness, and satisfaction.
