I graduated with an MSW from the University of Calgary and received my coaching certification from CoachU and the International Coach Federation. My expertise and commitment to personal mastery was recognized by the Calgary Association of Professional Coaches and the Universal Women’s Network.

30 years ago I started my career counselling individuals and families. Then I decided to launch a coaching practice and build a business. I quickly learned that I lacked business building skills. I struggled and sabotaged myself until I finally dug in and figured it out. I learned how to shape my thinking and master my emotions. And I found the tools I needed to build a successful business.

I took my learnings and developed an approach, and tool kit, for applying business and leadership skills. Combined with my counselling background, my approach looks at the entire personal, business and leadership development journey. It’s designed to identify gaps and resolve issues quickly and efficiently.

To learn about this approach, visit my free stuff page. Download my eBook called, Level Up Your Leadership. It puts the leadership development journey into perspective and describes our Levelling Up process.

What Makes Venture Coaching Unique?

  • Our clients are business owners, executives and technical team leaders from across N.America. They generally have several direct reports, who often have direct reports of their own.

  • We coach the “whole-person”. We focus on owners and executives operating smaller organizations. We’ve taken 30 years of counselling and coaching experience and developed a comprehensive tool kit for dealing with business, leadership and personal issues.

  • Coaching is a working partnership. Your coach helps you set goals based on what’s most important to you. Your coach helps uncover blind spots while providing feedback, guidance, training, support and external accountability. Your job is to act on that feedback and direction with focus and commitment.
