Mentoring & Coaching
Clear thinking.
Honest reflection.
Real movement.
My mentoring and coaching work is grounded in The Affection Advantage —
a values-led practice built on clarity, responsibility, and care in action.
This is not motivational coaching or mindset work.
It is practical, structured support for people navigating complexity, pressure, and change — and who want to lead without losing themselves, their standards, or their humanity.
I work with leaders, founders, and teams to align how they think, decide, and act with what they believe matters — especially when the stakes are high, and the path isn’t obvious.
Each engagement is deliberate and tailored.
The work is designed to hold up under pressure.
What this work is (and isn’t)
Some people still confuse mentoring and coaching with softness.
I don’t.
In this context, the work is clear, challenging, and accountable. It supports:
Better decision-making under pressure
Stronger boundaries and clearer priorities
Leadership that is both human and rigorous
This is not therapy.
It is not performance management.
It is not advice given from a distance.
It is a thinking partnership — grounded in experience, values, and real-world leadership.
How I work with people
-
Executive Coaching for Senior Leaders
For senior leaders, founders, and decision-makers navigating growth, change, or complexity.
This work focuses on:
- Holding clarity when everything feels noisy
- Leading people without eroding trust or standards
- Making difficult calls with integrity and follow-through
Often suited to moments where leadership feels heavier — not because capability is lacking, but because responsibility has increased.
-
One-on-One Mentoring
For women in leadership, purpose-led professionals, and people in transition.
Mentoring draws on lived experience, pattern recognition, and honest conversation to help you:
- Reconnect with your voice and judgement
- Name what’s actually happening (not just what’s expected)
- Move forward with steadiness and agency
This is reflective work — but always in service of action.
-
Small Group and Team Coaching
For leadership teams, emerging leaders, and women’s networks.
These engagements create shared language and trust — so teams can:
- Speak more honestly
- Navigate difference without fracture
- Make values-based decisions together
The focus is alignment, not consensus.
Momentum, not performance theatre.
What clients experience
Clients often describe this work as:
Grounded and practical
Thought-provoking without being overwhelming
Challenging in a way that feels respectful and useful
The goal isn’t insight for its own sake.
It’s movement that holds.
Is this the right work for you?
This work tends to resonate with people who:
Know something about how they’re working isn’t sustainable
Want depth without drama
Are ready to lead with responsibility, not just intention
If that sounds like you, we should talk.
