Founder, Inward Bound

I founded Inward Bound in 2001. My favorite work right now: coaching and training leaders to take Coaching deep into their organization. In particular,
I've witnessed the newfound power of Teams who have their own Team Coach devoted to their success.

Ideal Clients

Marketing, sales and professional services executives who are looking for
major breakthroughs in leadership behavior. People who invest in continuous self-improvement — not just because it's good business, but because it's challenging and fun.

I also enjoy career coaching extraordinary women who are leaders in their life, and ready to plan the next chapter.

Favorite Assessments

Any assessment that motivates the client to change. My favorites:

  being optimistic AND analyzing pitfalls — quickly translates into
  more powerful leadership

  to set the stage for dramatic change

What's Next

"I am launching the InwardBound Foundation to raise funds to work with non-profit organizations, coaching Executive Directors and their teams. Just as senior executives have a Coach, what if every Executive Director and their Team did? It could transform leadership development in the non-profit world."
