About Me

I am a leadership coach, trainer, speaker, wife, and mom to an amazing kid. I help emerging leaders unlock their leadership potential and achieve their career goals. 

After 20 years of adding value to software engineering teams, and working with companies like Amazon, Ticketmaster, PayPal, and America Online, I decided to become an entrepreneur.

My coaching style is based on strengths. I help my clients to identify and gain awareness of their strengths and growth areas. When they align their work with their strengths, they are set up for success. I help them get out of their comfort zone, seek growth, and find their true passions. I believe in simplifying priorities and getting intentional with doing what’s really important.

In the early stages of my career, I enjoyed collaborating with cross-functional teams to design and deliver quality software. Working alongside product managers, UX designers, and software engineers, delivering some of the best-in-class products that solved complex problems, I was thrilled by the impact our products had on customers.

Transitioning into a leadership role was exciting but proved challenging. Overwhelmed by new responsibilities, lack of training, and minimal support, I struggled considerably. It became clear that I couldn't continue in this manner. Recognizing the need for preparation and proactiveness, I decided to take action. I observed other successful leaders, read tons of leadership books and blogs, enrolled in courses, and invested in my self-learning.

Things started to change. Armed with newfound knowledge and insights, I transformed my managerial approach. I found my voice and my unique leadership style. I no longer needed to copy others. Then I focused on identifying the unique strengths of each team member, aligning tasks according to their strengths. And I saw them grow and thrive. I created effective tools, strategies, and frameworks for better communication, feedback, task prioritization, and conflict resolution. I successfully built multiple teams grounded in core values of growth, autonomy, trust, and delivery.

Later on, while mentoring emerging leaders, I recognized they faced similar challenges — a lack of training, coaching, and support. They had no idea how to lead. They lacked the confidence and skills to lead teams. Dealing with issues like changing priorities, low morale, communication gaps, lack of actionable feedback, and constant fire-fighting, they became reactive, echoing my past struggles.

As I coached these new leaders they used my tips, tools, techniques, strategies, and frameworks, experiencing career growth, improved communication, and enhanced team collaboration.

Witnessing their teams thrive, even in remote setups, was a turning point for me. Inspired by this impact, I decided to transition into a Leadership Coach, launching my coaching business to share my learnings and make the journey of emerging leaders a little easier. 

I love being a leadership coach. Through 1-on-1 coaching, live training, and team workshops, I have helped new leaders improve communication, provide effective feedback, prioritize tasks, handle difficult conversations, manage conflicts, and be prepared to deal with changes. The outcome has been the growth of team members, the advancement of careers, and the delivery of business value.

I can help you in 3 ways: through personalized 1-on-1 coaching, live, training, and dynamic team workshops.
