Expert in working through shyness, imposter syndrome, and other "confidence" related topics. To find my voice and navigate my imposter syndrome, I had to reckon with myself and the dynamics around me in fast-paced, quantitative fields (e.g., consulting, politics, "startup" dynamics) and highly competitive academic or performance-focused environments (Harvard, Williams, Juilliard). My expertise in leadership development is linked with my own development arc (connecting with my courage, understanding why my shyness was so sticky) as well as my experience coaching others through their personal and professional challenges and at their growth edges. Growing up, in school and in work, I was constantly told to "be more confident" or "speak up more". Though well intentioned, this feedback missed the deep work below the surface, including the big assumptions about the world and my place in it that I needed to debunk. My training in human development and leadership development from experience at Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Graduate School of Education was fodder for my own leadership development arc as well as my early experience coaching and supporting others on their development arcs. I've facilitated workshops on developing agency, coached young people and adults on professional improvement goals (including goals related to executive functioning), and facilitated conversations among strangers about leadership challenges. I feel most useful to the world when I'm helping people find their voices, reconnect with their imaginations, and renegotiate loyalties with their communities to feel more empowered.

My coaching style is rooted in my deep curiosity about people and problems, skillful active listening, and an honest yet empathetic conversational style that immediately puts clients at ease. I support the client in setting clear objectives at the outset of an initial engagement and in subsequent individual sessions. I am mindful to ensure that sessions remain effective and precisely targeted to the client's goals, but I also have a flexible approach that allows me to explore deeper issues as they arise. I am adaptable coach who uses strong emotional intelligence to meet clients where they are, whether they need a cheerleader to bolster their self-confidence, a tough partner to challenge their assumptions, or a calm and patient voice to help them hold themself accountable. Clients often cite my ability to help them simplify complex problems into smaller, digestible parts that help illuminate solutions. I apply similar skills when I am working with clients who need to navigate overwhelming situations like a career change or a difficult interpersonal environment in the workplace. In these situations, I work with clients to craft powerful personal narratives or to prepare talking points for high-stakes conversations. Clients often cite how much they value my adeptness in helping them put into words what they have been thinking and feeling but have been unable to say or write for themselves. Finally, after having traveled to or worked on six out of the seven continents, clients often value my ability to empathize with clients of diverse backgrounds and cultures and to approach coaching engagements in a nuanced, non-threatening and authentic manner.
