Bringing more emotional intelligence into our lives & workplaces is the key to both
Personal & Organizational Transformation

Emotional Intelligence Coaching & Workshops
Emotional intelligence is the key to some of our greatest challenges! Whether you are looking at personal development or navigating the challenges in your workplace, culture, or people, raising emotional intelligence is required in order to change our hearts, minds, and habits.
—> My emotional intelligence coaching & workshops tap into our super human skills – self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, connection, communication, innovation & so much more.
Our greatness as individuals (and as teams) is BEING whole-bodied, emotional, empathetic, connected & real human beings. Our super human powers are not about being beyond human, but about being more human. I have spent two decades dedicated to helping individuals and organizations transform – accessing their full human potential & raising their emotional intelligence. Are you ready?

A Few of My Core Beliefs
The foundation of my emotional intelligence coaching & workshops…
To Unlock our Full Potential
we have to reclaim our whole selves
To access our full potential, we have to tap into ALL of our gifts. Our emotional intelligence, how we perceive the world, and how aware we are of ourselves & others make a huge difference in our ability to grow, change & thrive. We can’t change unconscious biases, habits, or beliefs through the conscious mind. Instead, we have to take into account our evolutionary biology, psychology, nervous systems habits, and the internal (and often unconscious) world we operate from. Emotional intelligence is the gap we have been missing.
Empathy & Compassion
are our nature & inherent gifts
So many trainers and teachers of emotional intelligence talk about empathy and compassion as something we need to learn. We don’t need to teach these skills, because they are our nature, instead, we need to remove what is in the way of our innate capacity for empathy & compassion. My emotional intelligence work begins with the idea that ALL people have access to compassion & empathy. I help people realize what is getting in the way of their connection, cohesion & communication with others.
There is an Intersection
between individual & systemic change
We can’t fully transform as an individual without taking into consideration the broader social, economical, and political systems that impact our individual experience. We also can’t engage in systemic change without taking into consideration the impact on the individual. Understanding the bridge between these two universes is the key to effective transformation both individually & organizationally. My emotional intelligence work takes into account the impact we all have on each other & is an essential part of creating change.
