My delight in coaching is assisting individuals in:
Discovering their own passions and
dreams,
Creating simple, authentic and engaged lives,
and
Sustaining the changes made through the coaching
process.
My coaching is in areas where I have personal
experience and expertise, training, and a strong curiosity and interest. My intention is to enable integration of the
spiritual, “being” side of your life with the day-to-day, practical, “doing”
side of your life. My style is direct,
non-judgmental, and caring with an emphasis on moving forward in a positive way.
I live deliberately, doing work I’m passionate about in
Houston, Texas. In addition
to coaching, I develop and teach workshops and seminars and do public speaking.
I serve as a member of the Speakers’
Bureau and as a Study Guide for the New Road Map
Foundation. I also am a paper artist and am writing a book
about nature in Houston. My journey includes my husband, family and
friends, spiritual growth, travel and nature.
Some of my adventures have included: spelunking (caving), rock-climbing, scuba
diving, traveling to Europe, the Caribbean and Mexico, learning and teaching
sign language, a six week solo camping trip, babysitting my one year old
grandson one day a week, hiking, doing a one-year stint as a day trader,
participating in an At-Ease Technologies workshop, and dipping my bare feet in
every natural body of water I encounter!
My former career in computers lasted more than twenty
years and ended as a corporate Vice President of Information Technology. It provided me with valued skills, including
training and people development, managing, communication, being organized and
prepared, project planning and discipline. Leaving it was difficult…lots of
money, prestige, much of my identity, and familiarity. However, I was not energized by my work at the end of my career; in fact, I was
drained by it each and every day.
I’ve found my dream career, put the people and activities I love in
their proper priority and have time for spirituality and nature, two things
that give me the ongoing experience of clarity and energy.

"I wanted to drop you a quick note to say how
much I appreciated our time together. Your class opened up whole new
possibilities for my life and my business. I am so grateful to have had the
benefit of your mind and attention on my ever growing, ever evolving business.
It has been immensely helpful. Also, the handouts were incredibly useful,
and remain "keepers"!
I look forward to working with you again."

"Your
Quantum Goal Setting helped me to get the job of my dreams after I had been job
searching for five months. The exercises you provided gave me the
discipline I needed to really think and write about what I wanted from a job,
from my art and most importantly for my health. I want you and anyone
thinking about taking your class to know how much the Quantum Goal Setting
helped propel me forward in a short time. I truly appreciate it and thank
you with all my heart!" - Anne Taylor, Benefits Manager, Houston,
Texas

Quotes
on Coaching
"Life
coaches won't drag up bad memories. They will tell you what to do -- and
how to win big." Time
"Want
a booster to cheer you on, a guru for guidance, a drill sergeant to keep you
disciplined? Someone who will make you walk your talk, but do it
gently? Maybe what you want is a personal
coach."
Houston Chronicle
