Having been a lawyer, Assistant Professor, writer, and legal/people skills trainer, I now help people design their career, business, and life. As a career, leadership, and innovation coach, I incorporate psychology, design thinking, my MBA, cultural sensitivities (as an expat who has visited > 50 countries & lived in 6), and previous experiences to help clients discover that lightbulb moment of insight!
What I offer
Leadership, Career, and Life Coaching
I can help you achieve your goals, with career transitions, and design a more fulfilling life. I’ve coached Microsoft employees returning from parental leave, managers become better leaders, and individuals seeking and transitioning into new roles. Contact me for a free chat.
Want to improve your emotional and people intelligence? I’m an ICF-credentialed coach and certified in the DISC Behavioural Styles which is like a user manual for better understanding ourselves, people, and improving relationships and communication with others.
I provide innovation workshops and facilitate creative brainstorming with multinational brands like IWC and Cartier as well as startups to improve their client experience and business strategy. Message me if you’d like to spark some creativity in your team.
I’ve created e-courses "translating" findings from business, neuroscience, psychology, or other academic studies into practical tips in simple language: 1) Overcoming Stress; 2)Leadership Skills for the Multi-Generational Firm; 3)Managing Difficult Clients; 4)DISCover Your Behavioural Style
I mentor and coach students, entrepreneurs, early career professionals, refugees, and others in need of guidance. I’ve coached a few winning teams in various entrepreneurial competitions. Cover photo is of me with my student team who won prizes in various social entrepreneurship competitions.
I’ve delivered training for lawyers in the Continuing Legal Professional Development Program (CLPD) on drafting, ethics, commercial, employment, and real estate law as well as people skills courses.
