Welcome to the first day of the next chapter of your
life: your ideal life. As a Master’s
level certified success coach, I can help you navigate
in the changing world around you. I am able to
work with many types of clients on many types of issues,
but my specialty is in helping people to get unstuck.
My Success Coaching Approach &
Tools
I believe life is meant to be fun, easy, and effortless.
Using an intuitive creative style, I help you CREATE the
life of your dreams. I help take you off the
rollercoaster of life and guide you back onto the road
and into the driver’s seat. There are no
coincidences in life. When our paths cross,
synchronicity happens and the magic begins.
Remember, as a child, when life seemed fresh and
exciting and each day was a new adventure?
Starting a coaching relationship is starting on a
journey with the next chapter of your life: your ideal
life.
During the collaborative coaching sessions, you will
develop immediate action steps to:
Achieve spontaneous relief with a fresh perspective
Clearly identify solutions
Establish and define priorities aligned with your core
values
Reframe your current situation into manageable segments
Navigate and clear current obstacles
Boost your confidence using easy tools
Explore and enhance your creative potential with a
creativity
coach
Start building the foundation to move toward creating
your dream life
Create deep and satisfying personal and social
relationships
Attract success in life, work, and business

Starting my career as a nurse therapist before entering
the corporate arena, with a Master’s degree in
Psychiatric Nursing, I leveraged my unique perspective
and creatively approached the business world. I
quickly discovered that what separates successful
individuals from unsuccessful ones is using tools and
resources.
During collaborative coaching sessions, we will be using
my own powerful tools, as well as the
Strategic
Life Planning Process: the Creation of the Future Self,
based on your needs. Using a revolutionary new
integrative approach called the Life Architecture
Program™, I help clients
like you design a blueprint or roadmap to navigate the
next chapter of your life. Based on cutting-edge
research from diverse disciplines studying the powers of
the mind, these techniques activate your own natural
intuition and creative problem-solving abilities, help
you discover your natural talents and leverage your
unique strengths to experience strategic solutions to
start living your dream life.

The Quicksand of Your Mind
Are you in struggle?
Your mind a puddle?
Are you stuck?
What luck?
In the quicksand of your mind?
Are you out of flow
And problems just grow?
What to do, to solve this riddle?
Stuck in the middle
In the quicksand of your mind.
There's only one way
Out of this unwanted stay.
Resolve to clearly see
And not live by some false decree
In the quicksand of your mind.

Educational Background and
Philosophy
Working as a therapist, with a Master’s in Psychiatric
Nursing, I gained real life experience about the factors
that affect motivation and behavior. With the
foundation of understanding human dynamics and the basic
framework of understanding people, I used my intuitive
gifts to realize the potential of an individual, a
group, or an organization.
Throughout my entire work life, my creativity fueled my
success. Fascinated by the cyclical nature of change and
the emerging patterns, I began research in the fields of
creativity and innovation, including creative
intelligence.
The big question: If all of us are born with
creative talents, what distinguishes the men and women
who are recognized for their creative achievements in
diverse fields, such as science, engineering, marketing,
art, music, manufacturing, literature, poetry,
architecture, to name a few? I quickly discovered
that similar patterns exist with every client, from
every walk of life. The differences lie in how
they uniquely respond to life’s stimuli and triggers,
based on the resources and tools they possess.
I leveraged my unique perspective and creatively
approached the business world. Many articles tout
the importance of diversity and objectivity in the
workplace. Working within the world of business, I
effectively used my clinician’s background and
functioned without any biases or preconceived notions.
Educated in systems theory, all the traditional filters
and screens had been removed. My past experiences
paved the foundation for my passion and commitment to
the field of creativity and innovation. My goal is
to assist individuals, groups, and organizations with
tools to use their intrinsic creativity within their
lives, both at work and within their personal domain.
Assuming unique challenges, I began in the field of
executive and technical recruitment for a search firm.
My next challenges were to include leadership roles in
corporate consulting, human resources, training and
development, health care consulting, telecommunications,
IT, performance consulting, sales, advertising, dot.com
development, usability, marketing, and e-commerce.
I have worked in diverse industries, such as health
care, IT, telecommunications, manufacturing, media, call
centers, and tax and financial arenas. I am a
certified executive coach (College of Executive
Coaching), certified CPP assessments coach, experienced
speaker, professional facilitator, writer, and poet.
I am known for my easy engagement of individuals and
groups and my renowned humor. For me, work and
being alive is FUN. My goal is to recharge my
clients’ creative batteries and have them invite fun
into their life equations.
I have been awarded many accolades throughout her
extensive career, including, The World Who’s Who of
Women, Who’s Who of Emerging Leaders of America, and
Who’s Who in the Midwest.
I am a member of and follow the ethical guidelines of
the American Society of Training and Development,
Society for Human Resource Management, NAFE, Phi Delta
Kappa, and the International Coaching Federation.
