Biography

The Center for Leadership Studies reports 69% of leaders are uncomfortable communicating with employees, and 91% of employees believe their leaders lack effective communication skills.

I have coached emerging leaders who feel nervous, self-conscious, judged, vulnerable, uncomfortable answering questions, and not connecting with the audience. If you experience these feelings or think speaking to a group is reading words from PowerPoint or communication is about exchanging words, I can help you.

Strong leaders are also great speakers. They convey a clear vision and communicate it in a way that inspires and unites their audience; they connect with their audience by using strong body language, eye contact and active listening; they engage their audience by asking questions and encouraging dialogue, and they can read the room and adjust their style, if need be.

With a career spanning three decades in global Fortune 500 firms, I bring a wealth of expertise to my coaching practice where I specialize in executive presence, communication, and presentation skills.

I have held leadership positions at Citigroup, Morgan Staley and BNY Mellon. I have coached executives in multiple sectors (Pharma, IT, Retail, Financial Services, Higher Education and Not for Profit.) With that experience, including a background in Psychology, I have a deep understanding of human behavior in multiple organizational settings.

I was an adjunct professor at New York University for 14 years, where I was granted their prestigious Award for Teaching Excellence, and at Rutgers University Center for Management Development.

I volunteer for AIIR Consulting's Elevate Project, coach long term unemployed and volunteer at a Food Pantry.

My certifications include Executive Coaching from New York University and assessments including, DiSC, Myers Briggs, Coaching Mindset Index, 360 Feedback, Deeper Signals, Hogan, Team Effectiveness and StrengthsFinder.
