My grandfather was a ‘mad-man’ in advertising in the Manhattan of the 1960s. My grandmother was a concert pianist in Philadelphia. I know that his creative whimsy and her performative rigor are part of my DNA. Moving an audience as a professional singer and actor has always fulfilled me. Over the past fifteen years, I have used my skillset from the performing arts to bring authenticity to leaders and collaboration to teams. As an executive coach, I partner with my clients to tune in to their resonant inner voice and their expansive outer voice. With teams, I facilitate paths toward congruence where we undoubtedly pass through dissonance and off beats on the way to reaching balance. I love the challenge of supporting our clients to clarify their aspiration, steadily and swiftly creating new pathways for transformation and ultimately reaching their own space where they can thrive. The diversity of different cultures and languages is a red thread in my life: while my roots are in the US, I have lived in the UK, in Germany, and spent formative parts of my teenage years in Brazil.
