Have you been nurturing an idea, a vision for your future, or a creative project but feel unsure how to bring it to life? I can help.

My four-session Career & Creative Alignment Coaching will help you turn your vision into reality.

Whether you're exploring new creative possibilities or navigating a career transition, I’ll help you channel your energy, determination, and focus into actionable steps. This process isn’t just about finding your next role—it’s about discovering work that truly aligns with who you are and what you value.

Together, we’ll uncover the deeper meaning behind your career direction or creative vision and break it down into manageable steps. Through clarity, confidence, and accountability, you'll move forward with purpose—whether that means stepping into a more fulfilling career, launching a creative endeavor, or designing a professional path that resonates on a deeper level.

What happens in each session:

  • In our first session, we’ll explore your career goal, idea, or project in detail.

    What makes your vision meaningful?

    Together, we’ll refine your intention and identify what success looks like.

    We’ll also break your vision down into key phases and outline specific, actionable steps to move forward.

  • Now that we’ve set the foundation, we’ll focus on nurturing your process.

    We’ll explore what inspires you and how to stay in a creative flow.

    Additionally, we’ll address any challenges—like self-doubt, perfectionism, or lack of time—that might be standing in your way.

    This session is all about keeping your creative energy high and focused.

  • In this session, we’ll check in on your progress.

    We’ll discuss what’s working and what can be refined or adjusted.

    This is a space for experimentation—trying new techniques, exploring different ideas, and staying open to evolving your vision.

    I’ll guide you through reflecting on your process to ensure it aligns with your original intention.

  • In our final session, we’ll bring your idea or project to completion.

    We’ll assess how far you’ve come, reflect on the journey, and ensure your project still aligns with your vision.

    You’ll also have the opportunity to celebrate your growth and walk away with tools and inspiration for continued development.

  • I am dedicated to empowering individuals to unlock their creative potential and chart their unique paths to success.

    With a multi-disciplinary background spanning corporate environments, entrepreneurial ventures, and academia, I bring a wealth of experience to my coaching practice.

  • Coaching is a conversation centered on you and your aspirations. Together, we explore how to achieve your goals and identify any obstacles in your way.

    A coach helps you and/or your business to:

    • Set and reach goals

    • Design a plan of action

    • Solve problems

    • Make decisions

    • Create a forward momentum

    In addition to these areas, the coach “stays with” (coaches) the client to:

    _Implement the plan of action, working through the inevitable changes and any obstacles

    _Maintain a healthy balance between personal and professional life

    _Keep looking ahead to take advantage of opportunities that are just now formulating

    _Bring out your personal best, keeping focused on your needs, values, and vision

  • “What you focus on grows, what you think about expands, and what you dwell upon determines your reality.”

    To change your life in a way you want requires commitment, action, consistency, and support.

    Coaching works because when given consistent space, attentive listening, and support of your coach, you realise how powerful you really are.

    I believe you can create your own best answers, which are not “shoulds” but “wants.” I am trained to support you in that process.

    With confidence, you begin to implement action steps to make significant changes in life and work.

  • I am trained and experienced in helping clients reach several types of goals.

    Primarily I work with professionals who are at one of the following places with their life or career:

    _Making changes.

    _Experiencing a creative block.

    _Need help prioritizing and making decisions.

    _Having personal conflicts or problems.

    _Planning to move forward and feel overwhelmed.

  • Together, we create a confidential space rooted in mutual trust, respect, honesty, curiosity, and compassion.

    I guide you on an inner journey to explore your truth, grounded in mindfulness and intentional language.

    _I believe that you are extremely capable and have the answers within you. I believe that you are the expert in your life and work.

    _I believe that you possess the creativity and resourcefulness to move your life/career/relationships in the direction of your choosing.

    _I will encourage your self-discovery, and will guide you to your own solutions and strategies.

    _I will support you and hold you responsible and accountable.

    _I will encourage and nurture honest and brave feedback during our partnership.

  • _Focus. I listen actively and fully. You are the focus. I listen to what you say, what you are trying to say, and what you are not saying.

    _Share. After you have fully communicated, I share with you my observations, comments, and views on your situation, dilemma, or opportunity.

    _Endorse. A professional, an entrepreneur, an artist – needs, yes, needs, an outside voice full of endorsement, compassion, and acknowledgement. Not a yes-type person, but someone who knows what it takes to achieve.

    _Suggest. Part of my job is to be at least three steps ahead of you, yet be with you. I will make suggesions, and you make choices that you feel are best for you.

    _Support. I want a lot for you. I want you to be healthy, happy, and successful. I want you to have a life that inspires others—and yourself. I fully support your choices as you move toward the life you really want.
