Adjunct Faculty at New Ventures West
San Francisco, California
Overview
Work Experience
Executive and Team Coach
2021 - Current
Through coaching, teaching, and writing, I explore how we might work differently in times that call for new ways of seeing and being. I work with leaders and teams who sense that beneath the metrics and OKRs lies an invitation to attend to the larger systems we're all part of. My approach weaves together professional coaching with research into practices of deep listening and attunement, helping organizations navigate complexity while staying connected to what matters most. Grounded in established coaching methodologies (New Ventures West, ICF, Enneagram Institute) while remaining open to emerging ways of understanding and moving through transformative times.
