How Coaching Works

Coaching is a collaborative partnership that supports clarity and intentional action. It is meant to challenge you and help you grow through steady support and honest reflection.

Most clients come to coaching not because something is broken, but because something feels misaligned, or they’re ready to accelerate their impact or take their work to the next level.

1:1 Coaching

Individual clients commit to 6-12 sessions over the course of 3-6 months at a time. The work is adaptive, focused on goals that you identify and revise as needed.

I also provide specialized coaching around big projects that have meaning to you, like writing a book, building an organization, or advancing a strategic plan. Specialized coaching can also take the form of helping you create a values-aligned giving strategy.

Coaching for Organizations and Teams

I also partner with organizations that want to invest in the growth and development of their people. Organizations may engage me to coach individual staff members, support cohorts of emerging leaders, or complement leadership development and fellowship programs. I have particular experience working with policy professionals, advocates, nonprofit leaders, philanthropy professionals, individuals with lived experience, and others whose work is focused on creating social change.

Coaching is not therapy, consulting, or project management. What coaching offers instead is a space for honesty, clarity, and choice — where accountability is grounded in your own values and dreams.

Who I Work With

My clients often include:

  • Executives and nonprofit leaders

  • Mid-career professionals in transition

  • Policy professionals and advocates

  • Working parents and caregivers

  • Anyone seeking greater alignment between your values and how you are living your life.

You may recognize yourself here if:

  • You feel a strong sense of responsibility or longing, along with internal pressure or fatigue

  • You care about impact and integrity, not just performance

  • You want space to think clearly and honestly, without posturing or pretense

  • You’re open to examining patterns rather than solving surface problems.
