' .. to live in
fullness, without waste of time and potential, expressing one's uniqueness,
yet participating intimately in the complexity of the cosmos.'
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
 I come to my work as a life-long
learner and a facilitator of other's learning. My work as an executive coach,
consultant, facilitator and educator is informed by more than thirty years'
experience working in knowledge-based and learning oriented environments.
My coaching clients are highly intelligent, sophisticated, and
successful. Regardless of whether they are senior leaders or new to the
leadership task, they are interested in using their strengths to make a
meaningful contribution to the various systems that they belong to. They are
committed to ongoing learning and growth, and to well-being - for themselves
and for others. In short, they are committed to living, working and leading
optimally.
Colleagues and clients say that I combine intellectual
acuity with intuition, imagination and an ability to connect with people in a
meaningful way. Clients especially value my ability to help them contextualize
and reframe their challenges and opportunities in ways that expand
possibilities.
Like my individual coaching clients, my organizational
clients appreciate the knowledge and experience I bring to my work, as well as
my ability to create innovative and powerful learning experiences for
participants. Recent projects I've been involved with include: designing an
award-winning in-house coaching training program and certification process for
a division of a major bank; developing a comprehensive coaching model and
process for a consulting company; developing a "leadership through people"
initiative for a major brokerage firm; introducing a coaching culture into a
major European communications technology company.
One of my strengths
is the ability to draw unusual connections and create multi-layered learning
experiences that challenge and stretch others in meaningful ways. Workshop
participants consistently comment that their experience in workshops I've
designed and facilitated exceeds anything they have been exposed to before.
I operate my business under the name PeopleDynamics Coaching &
Consulting. I live and work in Toronto, Ontario with my husband, several
daughters, a granddaughter, and a dog.
