My goal is to help make people’s lives simpler so they can dare to be who they are meant to be. I dared to leave a great job after 26 years to follow my dream of staring my own business. Now I leverage my 35 years of corporate and entrepreneurial experience to help professionals, entrepreneurs and companies optimize their performance, overcome obstacles, and achieve professional and personal growth. As a FocalPoint Certified Business and Executive Coach, I speak, deliver workshops, and provide coaching in Strategic and Business Leadership, Productivity, Effective Communication, Coaching & Development, Diversity and Effective Teamwork.

I support entrepreneurs through all stages of business development, whether they are exploring, launching, growing or expanding. And with career professionals, I help them discover of the foundation of what they want out of their career, and how to get it.

A recent TEDx speaker on the topic of daring to live the life you want, I have spoken for such organizations as RBC and Professional Engineers Ontario, and have been featured in articles on women and entrepreneurship in the Globe and Mail and the Financial Post. I mentor start-ups at McMaster University’s incubator, The Forge, and advocate for and support entrepreneurs and professionals as the TechConnex Leadership Skills facilitator and through previous work on the Board of Directors for the Canadian Association of Women Executives and Entrepreneurs.

A Chemical Engineering and Management graduate from McMaster University, I spent 26 years at Procter & Gamble, leading business and organizational growth in Research & Development, Market Research, and Training & Development. Responsibilities scanned local (Canadian), regional (North American) and global initiatives. I contributed business-building strategies, led multi-functional initiative launches, led Diversity initiatives and developed and delivered global training programs.

In my spare time, I enjoy watching hockey with my husband and 2 sons, reading classic literature and murder mysteries, and going camping and hiking.
