Work.

Executive, leadership, & career coaching
for fulfillment in work and life.
We’re all familiar with the saying: “Do what you love, love what you do.” But how many of us truly live up to this philosophy? I believe we each have it within us to become our most fulfilled, successful self, and it is my job – my privilege – to help you discover how to make this possible.
Whether you are an individual looking to expand your leadership role or shift careers, or an entire team aiming to strengthen workplace dynamics, New Leaf Consulting will work with you to find enjoyment and success inside and outside the office.
Put in the hard work
without it feeling like a job.
Finding your potential takes time, vulnerability, and self-exploration. For me, there is nothing more gratifying than a deep conversation where we ask tough questions – that’s where the real discovery begins!
Through insightful discussions and workshops,
New Leaf Consulting will help you:
-
Explore and hone your strengths, skills, and talents
-
Identify your values and how to live into them on a daily basis
-
Uncover the “why” behind behaviors that propel you forward and hold you back
-
Drive transformational change in your own career, and as a leader for others.
New Leaf Services
​
I work with individuals and groups to help identify and actualize goals, strengths and values. Coaching engagements can be both one-on-one or with small cohorts, and I tailor these meetings based on size, dynamics and intentions to maximize our time together.
​
Most coaching engagements include 6 to 8* 50-minute sessions over 3-4 months. Vulnerability and honesty are key: I strive to create a private, comfortable space for all clients.
Â
*Frequency and number of sessions are determined based on the needs of each individual.
Minimum 4 sessions.
Leadership Development
A great leader positively influences their co-workers, teams, and company. Often, it takes great introspection to recognize what to let go of, and what to embrace, as you assume more responsibility and elevated roles. Together, we’ll define your personal leadership style, hone your communication skills and emotional intelligence, and determine when best to delegate…and when to orchestrate.
Executive Coaching
We’ll build on the talents that got you where you are today. Through a tailored, results-driven approach, New Leaf will help you identify and lean into your strengths, as well as assess areas of opportunity as you take on new challenges. Ultimately, we’ll coach you through transformation so that you create memorable impact and lead at the highest level.
Career Guidance
Whether you’re at the beginning of your career, ready for that promotion, preparing to take your career in a new direction, or returning to the workplace after an extended respite, you–and your employers–should have a clear sense of your purpose. We’ll explore your passions and values, highlight your strengths, and create an achievable plan to set you on your career path.
Your success is my success.Â
My job is most fulfilling when I help someone else in theirs. Here are just a few of my clients.

My Own Journey
Looking back, I could’ve benefitted from a coach. I began my journey in nursing school, only to discover that I hated giving shots as much as patients hated getting them. Pivoting to Recruitment and then Human Resources, I found the most rewarding moments of my job involved working with people and helping them uncover their best selves. And my career in Coaching began.
Having worked with Fortune 500 companies, government organizations, and private equity-backed startups, I have valuable insight into talent selection, promotion, leadership development, and performance management. As a Career Coach at Northwestern University, I help individuals navigate the sometimes confusing, often tricky, always interesting, corporate landscape, to successfully explore their own career opportunities.
When I’m not working with people at the office…I’m working with more at home! Raised in a family of 6, I have 2 (humbling) teenagers, a husband of 20 years, and 1 very spoiled Goldendoodle named Guinness. My other loves include the first snowfall of the season, a good workout, and of course chocolate.​
