Once you understand why people do what they do, the what starts to make sense. It's a bit like solving a puzzle. What Shapes How I Coach Now I’m an executive coach, leadership development consultant, and facilitator based in the New York metro area. I work with senior leaders and their teams to build the clarity and skills that drive performance. Before coaching, I spent over 25 years in marketing leadership, including roles at Citibank, Visa, and Betterment, where I led award-winning campaigns and managed complex teams and stakeholders. That background shapes how I coach. I understand organizational pressure and what it actually takes to lead at a senior level. I don't tell clients what to do. I ask the questions that get past the surface answer, and I give direct feedback along the way. Every session ends with more clarity than you walked in with, and a next step you'll actually take. What It's Like to Work With Me Clients tell me I'm insightful, disarming, and strategic. I pick up on patterns before people have named them, and I'll say what I'm seeing directly, with zero jargon (btw, I cannot stand jargon). Sessions aren't soft. I give real feedback, not just reflection back at you. There's usually a laugh, too. This work is serious, but I certainly don’t take myself too seriously. And if we aren’t having some fun, what is the point? I listen to what's said and what's not. Most of what actually needs to shift lives in the second category. You won't leave with vague encouragement. You'll leave with one clear thing to do next, and you'll come back to a coach who remembers exactly where you left off. I believe you can be kind and effective at the same time. My job is to help you find your own best answer, faster than you would on your own.
