Even Coaches get summer vacations...

​Please be aware that I will be out of the office
June 28th through July 7th. 

All the benefits of a Coach without the annoying whistle...

I am the Founder and Chief Motivator of FromWithin Coaching, which specializes in
​Change Management for people at all ​stages, ages, and wages in their lives.

My personal specialities include:
  • Professional Development Coaching
  • Leadership and Executive Coaching
  • Strengths Based Coaching (StrengthsFinder™)
  • Coaching Coaches (Mentor Coaching for ICF Certification)
  • Business Coaching (The Figurative and Literal Ass Kicker of Business Owners)
  • ​Director and Executive Level Career Coaching
  • Interview Coaching​
  • SOS Coaching
At FromWithin Coaching, I bring powerful insight and a grounded presence to each of my clients. Expect to laugh. Expect an honest approach. And expect to get out of your comfort zone. However, if you expect me to hold your hand and coddle you, chances are you have friends, family or someone else for that job. I inspire my clients, collaborate with them, and occasionally kick their "buts" to the curb.

As my Client, I will call you on your excuses and with support, catapult you past them.  ​
​
As a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), I ascribe to the highest level of ethical and professional standards in the Coaching Industry. My professional training has included Coachville, LLC, a licensed training provider accredited by the International Coaches Federation. 
​
My life is based in Burlington, Vermont where I am a firm believer in "getting outside and playing". 

Excuses beware, I am on a full time mission to hunt and stomp them out for good! You ready? 
My ideal clients:
  • Are lost, but not clueless.
  • Are resilient, but not perfect.
  • Have a positive mindset, but are also realistic.
  • Are confident and perhaps a bit "shook" by something, but not broken.
  • Love to learn.
  • Are respectful to themselves and to others. 
  • Are self motivated, but realize that they can't do it all by themselves. 
  • Are willing to invest in themselves.
  • Are open to change. 
  • Bring unconventional wisdom (yup, out of the box thinking is helpful).
  • Come on their own free will. 
  • Have a sense of humor (because we are going to laugh at what is getting in your way).
  • Are self aware. 
  • And are open to feedback.

And no where did I say that you have to be perfect, just ready to make change even if you are have no idea what the first step is. Are you my ideal client? If yes, then I suggest reading further. 

Don't hire me because you think I am perfect. I am not. I have made all the same mistakes you have made, but I learned from them and decided to make all new mistakes in the future...and none of the old. That is the difference in working with me. I will help you see how to move past your old mistakes and keep them from cropping up again...and again...and again.  

What do I know?

The following is a snapshot of my personal experience which has shaped my professional experience:

★ Survivor of parental divorce, diverse family structure, family alcoholism, and being left at the altar;​

★ 20+ years of playing "nice with others" in the outdoor retail and manufacturing industries navigating egos, drama queens, and unstable markets;

★ Awarded the Outdoor Industries Women's Coalition Snowsports'  Pioneer of the Year Award in 2010 for my achievement in mentoring and leading young women;

★ Expert in generating champions who inspire others;

★ Business Pioneer on the cutting edge of change, development, and testing the boundaries of what is possible;

★ Former Board Member of the Outdoor Industries Women's Coalition focused on providing power, influence, and opportunity for women in the outdoor-related business;

★ Sister, Daughter, and Girlfriend who challenges myself everyday to remain authentic, present and grounded.  

Names my Clients have called me:

  • A game changer
  • A derailleur
  • A fairy-job-mother
  • A truth teller
  • An agent of change
  • A mind reader
  • An ass kicker
  • A strengths strategist
  • A resume doctor
  • A teacher
  • A fortune teller
  • A sounding board
  • A bitch (in a good-way or at least that is what my client said.)​

​I am ok with every one of these names. They sum up what my clients think of my support of them and what they get out of working with me.
So name calling isn't such a bad thing...in this case.

Expectations & Next Steps

Sessions can be scheduled for phone or in-person in Burlington, VT. I work primarily through ongoing client relationships, since familiarity and deep practice are keystones to effectiveness. Frequency of the sessions are based on individual needs. We can discuss your specific needs in our exploratory session. 
​​
I understand that choosing a Coach is an important investment. Because of this, I talk with all prospective clients before scheduling a full session to see if we have good chemistry. I want to make sure your coaching experience is the most powerful it can be! I strongly believe in what I teach and how I coach, so please schedule an exploratory session with me, and we can find out if we’re a good match.
