Leadership Coach and Mentor for Women Stepping into a New Role

I’ve been in high-stakes roles—expected to lead, solve, and deliver without missing a beat. I know the pressure that comes with responsibility, and how isolating it can feel when support is limited.

I work with women in service industries who are done playing small. Women ready to define leadership on their own terms, elevate their teams, and lead with purpose—without burning out in the process.

This isn’t about doing more.

It’s about doing it differently—so you lead with lasting influence, presence, and power.

Leadership Coach and Mentor for Women Stepping into a New Role

I’ve been in high-stakes roles—expected to lead, solve, and deliver without missing a beat. I know the pressure that comes with responsibility, and how isolating it can feel when support is limited.

I work with women in service industries who are done playing small. Women ready to define leadership on their own terms, elevate their teams, and lead with purpose—without burning out in the process.

This isn’t about doing more.

It’s about doing it differently—so you lead with lasting influence, presence, and power.

My Background  

I’m an American who’s called France home for over 30 years. I’ve led global teams in matrix organizations and held the top seat as CEO.

I know the weight of responsibility, the complexity of international environments, and the cost of trying to lead flawlessly.

Leadership, even when you wanted it, can take a toll: the second-guessing, the internal pressure, the creeping burnout that comes from trying to be everything to everyone.

Today, I work with women who know that investing in themselves makes a difference, and are ready to quiet the self-doubt, trust their decisions, and take up space on their terms.

I’m certified through The Life Coach School and in Positive Intelligence®. My work blends practical strategy with mindset shifts—so my clients don’t just perform better, they feel better.

How Coaching Changed Everything 

Coaching and mentorship didn’t just support my growth—they fundamentally changed how I lead and live.

They helped me speak my mind without worrying how it would land. I stopped overthinking, over-preparing, and overcompensating. I learned how to bring a clear, strategic point of view to the table—and watched those ideas reshape departments, even entire organizations.

I stopped avoiding hard conversations. Started handling conflict directly—with calm, not defensiveness.
And I let go of the need to prove my worth by working late nights and weekends.

It wasn’t about being more confident. It was about trusting myself enough to lead differently.

That’s what I want for every woman I work with:
Less self-doubt. More self-trust.
Less managing. More meaningful influence.
Less proving. More presence.

Because when women lead with their full strength and perspective, organizations change. Culture shifts. People rise.

That’s real power.
Go be brilliant.

Why I Do This Work 

Because women deserve to hold real power in organizations—not just manage the work, but shape the company.

Because leadership without boundaries leads to burnout.


And because confidence doesn’t come from pushing harder. It comes from trusting yourself deeply enough to lead with clarity, decisiveness, and integrity.

This work isn’t about fixing or changing you. It’s about helping you own the leader you already are.

Personal Values 

These are the principles that guide how I live, lead, and show up in the world:
• Ownership – Self-trust is the foundation. I take responsibility for how I lead and live.
• Authenticity – I speak up, stand in my truth, and show up fully—and encourage others to do the same.
• Connection – Rooted in respect, cultural awareness, and dignity.
• Vitality – Energy, health and joy aren’t extras. They’re essentials.
• Growth – I’m a lifelong learner, always evolving inside and out.

Professional Values 

These shape how I coach, mentor, and support the women I work with:
• Empowerment – I help women build unshakable self-trust.
• Exclusivity – My work is high-touch, deeply personal, and tailored to each woman I support.
• Leadership – I believe in feminine, values-based leadership—grounded in influence, not performance.
• Compassion – Honest, respectful challenge in a space of safety and support.
• Well-being – Protecting your energy isn’t optional—it’s strategic.

On a Personal Note  

I live in France, where I build my days around purposeful work, connection, and well-being.
Mornings start with strong coffee, stronger thoughts, and a dose of movement—because mindset, muscles, and momentum matter.

I believe that when a woman puts herself first, she becomes not just a better leader—but a force that raises the standard. For herself. For her team. For the work she’s here to do.
