Brighter & bolder
Jan 2021 - nowExecutive coachI am a certified Executive Coach with expertise coaching leaders at financial services organizations (insurance, banking, real estate, etc.). My coaching specialties are in the areas of emotional intelligence and well-being. I am certified in coaching by the International Coaching Federation (ACC), George Mason University, and Gallup (emphasis on CliftonStrengths). I provide 1:1 coaching to leaders and also create and facilitate trainings in areas where I am a SME (emotional intelligence, meditation, etc.). I named my company Brighter & Bolder because I believe the potential of our lives is far greater and brighter than we typically imagine. When we live with awareness and intention, challenge our mindsets, and take bold action, we are all capable of getting to that brighter and bolder life. Show less
