An innovative, accomplished coach whose clients achieve excellent results
Greater New York City Area
I became a co-active coach because I love the excitement of creating success in my own life, which includes helping you to create and to live your definition of success everyday.
At heart, I'm a curious person who enjoys being with people in a variety of places and events, connecting with them through language, creativity and with a dash of Zen. As your coach or consultant, I will bring my skills, business and life experiences to our relationship to help you gain the self-realizations that will propel you forward with the goals you want to achieve within the next several months.
My professional background is in the publishing industry with publishers including McGraw-Hill International (UK), Routledge and HarperCollins. I have extensive experience in strategic planning, reorganization, strategic partnerships, due dilligence, content acquisition, new print and online product development, contract negotiation, staff training and development, and publishing in international markets. These experiences and skills enrich my approach to coaching and consulting with clients who face daunting professional challenges.
I am a graduate of The Coaches Training Institute (CTI), a leading program for coaching excellence and accredited by the International Coach Federation. In summer 2007, I will earn my Co-Active Coaching Certification, a prestigious designation of accomplishment within the coaching profession.
Highly-creative, certified coach who challenges clients to realize their dreams and to transform these dreams into tangible results. A diplomatic leader with excellent communication skills that turn conflict into decisive, positive action. Solid executive background in teaching, training, and development for small and large organizations.

Working with clients in a one-to-one coaching relationship or as part of a group or workshop, I'm honored to be their coach, a catalyst really, who engages and challenges them. I help clients embrace their values, explore several perspectives about their vision and goals, and learn how to live in harmony with their life purpose and a vibrant connection to the world.
