Experience coaching by working with a coaching industry professional who has a 15-year proven track record working with clients in corporate, small biz, main street, lifestyle business, and in the nonprofit sector as well.

Most important, however, is the work our clients have done to build culture: in the workplace, in cross-cultural settings, and in their families.
