Bio: I believe that in good times and bad, resilience is one of the major keys to success.
That’s why my approach to career coaching and executive coaching is to help people get ahead in a way that insulates them from future setbacks. It’s also why, as a consultant, I aim to help organizations become stronger and more resilient so they are ready for both the predictable and unforeseen challenges that all organizations face at some point.
I believe that people and organizations that appreciate the level of precision and care that I can provide should have access to it – high-calibre services should not be reserved only for members of the Fortune 500.
What sets me apart from many career and executive coaches is my experience on the inside of the federal government and my understanding of their HR processes and systems.
The stakes are high for my clients, and I can offer insights and customized services that few others can deliver – I have helped develop many hiring tools over the years!
My inside experience gives my clients an edge in getting hired and promoted in the public (and private) sector and in managing their careers as they progress. I co-designed and co-created many of the competency and behaviour-based assessments, structured interviews, role plays, simulations and online psychometric tests used to screen candidates for federal government jobs.
I enjoy bringing my knowledge, lived experience, sensitivity, and sense of humour to my career consultations, executive coaching, training, and HR work.
As a specialist with a PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology (a branch of Applied Social Psychology), I take an evidence-based approach by using the latest research and best practices to increase the odds of my clients’ success.
