Q: Tell us about the moment you knew you wanted to be a leadership coach:

A: It was less a “moment” and more of an evolution.  I had a well-developed reputation as a leader who developed talent and cared for my team, and when I started my own personal development journey about 15 years ago, it became clear this is what I wanted to do. 

Q: What is one of the most memorable moments in your coaching career?

A: When I debriefed a client on really rough set of 360 results, and I was really worried about the impact the results would have on my client.  I was able to hold the space for the client, help him lean into curiosity and explore the data without being defensive, and then I watched him show resilience and resolve in owning the feedback - and his behavior - and develop his plan to be a better leader.

 Q: What's your favorite thing about working at Henley Leadership Group?

A: Well, first I love how engaged and committed our clients are to their own leadership journeys.  And I really appreciate how supportive and collaborative the HLG team is.

 Q: How are you developing yourself as a leader?

A: I’m continuing to work to be more intentional and purpose driven while being less reactive, leveraging mindfulness and self awareness.

 Q: What are you reading right now?

A: "The Power of Different – The Link Between Genius and Disorder” by Gail Saltz, MD.

Q: What’s making you happy this week?

A: I’m so happy to be working with a great group of clients, who trust me enough to be vulnerable with me and who are continually working to have the patience and courage to grow.
