You may be here because you are

  • Considering a promotion, leadership role, or new opportunity
  • Stepping into a role with greater responsibility or visibility
  • Preparing for an important academic or professional milestone
  • Rethinking your longer-term career direction or considering a transition
  • Facing a consequential decision and wanting an informed outside perspective

Different career moments call for different kinds of support. My work is organized around two primary pathways.

Career and Leadership Coaching

For professionals navigating advancement, new opportunities, leadership transitions, career change, or consequential decisions about what comes next.

Our work may focus on a new role, greater responsibility, competing priorities, organizational dynamics, career direction, or an important decision where the possibilities, priorities, and tradeoffs deserve careful consideration.

Academic Coaching

For faculty, researchers, and academic leaders navigating promotion, tenure, leadership opportunities, scholarly direction, or career transitions.

Academic advancement is rarely just about doing good work. It also involves understanding expectations, making choices about scholarship, service, and leadership, and deciding how you want your career to evolve within or beyond the academy.
