History of embark coaching

I have always been someone who is both calmed and inspired by oceans and, especially, tides. The ebb and flow reminds me that our lives are at all times predictable and unpredictable, clear and murky, similar and unique. Accepting these constant contradictions seems easier by the ocean, and it was by the ocean that I realized it was time for me to embark on my own journey and build embark coaching.

My goal as a coach is simple: I want to help you live your best life by providing you with the time, space and tools to make the professional choices that are right for you. This can mean exploring or embarking on new career adventures. It also could be about improving your own leadership abilities or communication skills. Always, it’s about centering your choices in your core values and the ways in which you can maximize joy. I truly believe that changes that spark joy are essential to sustainable success.

As a coach, I am committed to creating a safe environment for clients to explore questions of professional identity and career progression (including off- and on-ramps), as well as recognizing and eliminating the ways in which they may be blocking or limiting their own success. I also help people unlock their own clarity to better respond to challenges, whether they be of purpose or performance. With the right balance of curiosity, vulnerability and honesty, I believe coaching is a truly transformative experience.

For the past 20+ years, I have held progressive leadership roles, primarily within the social sector. I have built and nurtured intentional, inclusive and authentic organizations where people are valued for their wholeness and not just for their professional contributions. I have served as a mentor, coach and advisor to entry-level staff through C-suite executives.

I am grateful and humbled by the opportunities I have to work with people across a range of industries, roles, cultures and countries. It would be an honor and a privilege to embark on your journey with you.
