THE PROCESS
What happens when we work together.
01 DISCOVERY CALL
We talk about where you are, what’s not working, and what you want to build. You assess fit. I assess whether I’m the right coach for you. Honest, no pitch.
———————————————————————
02 ASSESSMENT
We begin with the EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Intelligence profile and other selected assessments to build self-awareness. This gives us both a clear evidence-based picture of your patterns before the first session.
———————————————————————
03 COACHING SESSIONS
Typically 60-75 minutes. We work at the level that actually drives change — patterns, identity, presence — not surface-level tactics.
———————————————————————
04 INTEGRATION & RESULTS
Between-session tools, reflections, and accountability. Change that sticks — not insight that evaporates by Monday morning.
Answered directly.
“Can’t I just use AI for this?”
You can — and it will give you useful information. But information isn’t the gap. AI can reflect what you tell it. It cannot see the pattern you’re blind to. It has no stake in your outcome.
“I don’t know if I have time for this right now.”
That’s exactly what people say when they’re most depleted. The cost of another 12 months carrying everything yourself is real: stalled growth, team dependence, relationship strain, and another year of Sunday anxiety.
“How do I know this works in technical environments?”
20+ years in corporate and 8 years in engineering environments at Stantec, coaching through BetterUp and Speexx in global technical organizations. This work is built for your context — not adapted for it.
CLIENT OUTCOMES
3+ YEARS TOGETHER
Team Lead → VP
A leader in creative operations grew from team lead to VP over three years of coaching. Strategy, confidence, and presence — without compromising her values.
12 MONTHS
3 Promotions
An engineering leader moved from execution to leading a cross-functional team — and earned three promotions in twelve months.
CAREER PIVOT
Expert → Multiplier
A technical specialist transitioned from being the leader everyone depended on — to building a high-performing team that no longer needed them in every decision.
