My training and credentials

Credentials are important

I believe in the importance of trusted, thorough and inspiring training as well as the measurement and certification of skills and abilities. I chose to be professionally trained and certified as a Co-Active coach even with my over 20 years of business and human resources experience. My coaching credentials include:

• CPCC (Certified Professional Co-Active Coach) through CTI (see below)
• PCC (Professional Certified Coach) from the International Coach Federation (see below)
• Volunteer Coach for UpRising, WiseHer, Mass Conference for Women and other organizations
• MBA from Boston College Carroll Graduate School of Management

I have worked in non-profits and for-profits including hi-tech start-ups in operations, finance, consulting and business development.

Coaching is my calling

I bring all my educational and business experience as well as my life experiences as a parent, daughter, sister and spouse to help my clients. I enjoy working with men and women–adults of all ages–young and old, entrepreneurs, retirees, millennials, Gen Xers — you name it — because the opportunities for joy are limitless at any age and everyone has a dream worth striving for.

Put simply, coaching is my calling. I am very grateful to have been able to create this practice and offer the gifts I have in order to benefit the lives of the people I coach.

International Coach Federation

The first level of professional coaching designation is an Associate Certified Coach (ACC). After 500+ hours of coaching individuals and groups, I have surpassed that credential and achieved the next, the Professional Certified Coach designation (PCC).
