Congratulations - you're a leader! Now what? 

We want to be good at our jobs, serve as strong advocates for our teams, and feel confident in our ability to succeed. But there is no one-size-fits-all approach to good leadership. While there are attributes that many great leaders have in common like self-awareness, good judgment, solid listening skills, every leader of them approaches their role in their own unique and authentic style. 

At Catalyzed Leadership, we work with organizations and individuals to help develop emerging leaders at critical points in their careers. Together we help our clients develop a genuine approach to leadership that works for them. Through personalized coaching, our clients grow as leaders, developing the skills, confidence, and decision-making abilities that catalyze success in their roles.

With more than 20 years of experience in the non-profit and education sectors, I’ve led global teams to build and deliver hundreds of professional development and leadership programs.

I founded Catalyzed Leadership because I love creating experiences that help people connect to their purpose and grow in their professional lives. I know how critical transitions into leadership are to the success of individuals and organizations.

As a coach, I partner with mission-driven organizations to accelerate the readiness of their emerging leaders, strengthening their confidence, communication, and team impact from day one.
