Bio

My mission is to empower professionals to thrive!

I create opportunities for professionals to build their critical thinking, interpersonal and leadership skills so they can thrive. I used evidence-based strategies to coach individuals in building new habits that increase their ability to feel energized, balance the demands of their work and personal lives and perform at high levels. I empower professionals to be their best selves and do their best work.

I have experience working in analytics, research and higher education. I also have experience hating my job and feeling burned out! I’ve been there and done that. And you know what? I learned a lot! My personal experience and my knowledge of research on how we can learn how to cope with the demands of the world allow me to create dynamic sessions that end with action.

I have worked with over 200 organizations to empower professionals to live and work with greater energy and balance and perform at higher levels. In addition to training sessions, I also offer evaluation services (what did your attendees learn and how did they take action) and small group/individual coaching to guide attendees in developing more empowering habits.

I have a Master’s degree in counseling and Doctorate (PhD) in educational psychology from the University of Minnesota. I recently published a new book, College to career: Making the most of your journey that is a practical guide for college students and early-career professionals to build a thriving career. My presentations are described as “refreshingly enthusiastic” and focus on stress management and resilience, critical

How can Your Team use Critical Thinking to Make Better Decisions?

A lot goes into making decisions. On good days – when we have time and energy – we gather and evaluate information carefully, consider the options and make a decision. Yet too often, we neglect to recognize blind-spots, short-cuts and biases we all have. Add in miscommunication and limitations on our time and energy and we can end up making decisions we regret.
The good news: our decision-making process is not doomed! In this session I will coach you and your team on how to ask better questions, critically analyze your information, inclusively involve others in the process and effectively evaluate the options to make stronger decisions.

Boundaries! How to Improve Work-Life Integration & Productivity

In this session we’ll explore how establishing healthy boundaries can be protective and powerful. Protective of our time, our energy and our focus. Powerful in aligning our values with our work and lives. Participants will walk away with a plan to set and maintain boundaries so they can be more productive and energized.

Emotional Agility: Learn how to ride the emotional waves!

Emotional agility embraces all emotions as rich and valuable data. When we accept and explore our emotions with curiosity and compassion, we begin to recognize our thought and behavior patterns and make more effective decisions based on our values. We can banish imposter syndrome and make better decisions when we feel nervous, anxious or even excited. Learning how to ride the waves of our feelings can get us all on the path to success!

Striking the Right Chord with Work-Life Harmony

If you were to imagine your work and life as music – what kind of music would that be? How would your work-life music sound? There are times when we feel like our work and personal lives are in harmony and we’re striking the right notes at the right time. Yet we also have those days when it feels like the music is off-key, the notes are wrong or we’re not keeping the beat. So how can we more consistently strike the right chord?

Now What?! Career Development for Early Career Professionals

You got your degree, you landed your first “Adult” job and maybe you even passed a certification or licensing exam. You’ve mastered those early hurdles on the road to your career… So now what? You just work?! The path may feel a little less clear and you may feel a little uncertain about the path you are on and how you move forward.
In this session we’ll talk about career development and how to continue to develop, make decisions and advance in your career. We’ll talk about developing resilience, handling difficult moments at work, asking for and receiving feedback, managing priorities and finding a mentor. You’ll leave this session with a realistic plan for navigating hurdles and achieving your goals.

Let's Talk About It: Mental Health in the Workplace

Many adults believe that the US is facing a mental health crisis. Statistics provide us with a partial picture of the issue: rough 20% of adults are experienced a mental health issues and over half of these individuals did not receive treatment between 2019 and 2020*. Many of these adults are struggling with depression and anxiety, and although they are likely doing everything they can to be productive at work, they are likely struggling.

Let’s talk about it – what are symptoms that someone might be experiencing depression or anxiety? And then let’s really it talk about it! You’ll learn how to have mental health check-in conversations and practice these conversations. We’ll also discuss the importance of establishing boundaries and following through to effectively support individuals struggling with mental health issues in your workplace.

Get it Done! How to Boost your Productivity

Managing our time effectively is one of the biggest challenges that we face. Building time management and productivity skills can be elusive and ever-changing as we move within an organization and change roles, and as organizations change and grow and as our personal lives change and evolve as well. How can we be most effective?
In this session I’ll share “productivity hacks” to help you manage your responsibilities, schedule your time, manage interruptions and get your work done. By investing just a few minutes to get organized and schedule in your work, you’ll feel more able to focus. With a few suggestions on how to use that focus, you’ll be even more productive!
