Coaching and Communications Go Hand-in-Hand

Coaching involves identifying your unique gifts, values and ambitions. Communications helps you share these distinctive qualities with the audiences that are most important to you.

As a trained coach with an extensive background in communications and marketing, I can support you on both fronts.

If you are at a crossroads, I can help you find the way forward, drawing on your values, talents and motivations.

If you need help showcasing your capabilities, I can work with you to identify and highlight your greatest strengths..

If you are an executive or manager looking to build your reputation with internal and external audiences, I can help you define and share your distinctive brand of leadership.

If your organization is looking to improve team dynamics, I offer workshops to help build rapport and engagement.

I provide a 25% discount to purpose-driven organizations and individuals who work in the non-profit sector.

Professional Coaching

Each of us has a story, but often our evolving career “chapters” are not as intentional or aligned with our values as we would like them to be. And sometimes the stories we tell ourselves do not ultimately serve us.

Coaching helps you identify and act on your unique strengths and values, elevating your life’s work and creating a future of your choosing.

My coaching services can help you:

Define a career path that aligns with your strengths and values
Re-enter the workforce after a career break
Build and motivate a high-performing team
Overcome burnout
Accelerate your professional growth
Create a strong leadership presence

Team Coaching

I offer team coaching that can help groups thrive, as well as story-sharing workshops that foster trust and build camaraderie. I also provide workshops that enable team members to better understand each other's preferred communications styles,. By learning about individual communication preferences, groups can operate more efficiently and with a greater level of trust.

In addition, I offer the following services specific to marketing and communications teams:

Smart growth audit: structuring marketing and communications teams to meet current and future needs.
Strategic planning: Creating plans that are focused, flexible and future-ready. My workshops are perfect for off-sites and can be tailored to your organization's needs.

Personal Branding

You have a personal brand, whether you create it intentionally, or not. Ideally, your personal brand represents your unique talents and capabilities. Whether you are looking to develop stellar job-hunting materials, compelling speeches, memorable elevator pitches, or compelling executive platforms, you can benefit from working with an expert who has experience creating authentic, distinctive and high-impact brands.

I can support you in identifying and packaging your talents in a way that is uniquely you. Using proven methods, I can help you generate eye-catching content that can be used in:

What My Clients Have to Say

New to Coaching?

Here's how it works

First, we will schedule an introductory meeting, either via Zoom or phone to see if we are a "fit." That first meeting is always free of charge. It enables both of us to determine if I am the best person to help you. If for some reason I am not, I have a roster of talented coaches I can refer you to.

Next, we schedule a "discovery session." This 90-minute session helps me learn about you.

After that, we dig into the coaching! This includes setting a regular schedule of 60-minute meetings. Generally, I meet with clients once every two weeks, but we can adjust that time frame to align with your goals and schedule.

When You Help Yourself, You Help Others

Elevate Your Story donates five percent of all profits to Fortitude Careers, a nonprofit organization that assists young adults from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to develop a healthy sense of self as they design a path to a successful trades career.

So, when you elevate your own story, you are also helping to elevate the stories of young people from historically marginalized communities, 75 percent of whom go on to good jobs or tertiary education following their participation in Fortitude Careers' programs.
