In 2005, I attended my first emotional intelligence (aka EQ) training with Six Seconds. I had to make a choice: forget what I learned and continue living my life on autopilot, reacting to what life threw at me OR pay attention to my thoughts, feelings, and actions and make purposeful choices about how I wanted to show up in the world. Needless to say, I chose to get smarter with my feelings and began working toward where I am today.

My learning journey hasn’t stopped for over 20 years. I earned a Master’s degree in organizational management and leadership, completed several EQ assessment and facilitator certifications, and became an ICF credentialed coach.

I also had the privilege of working across many industries, including technology, legal, higher education, non-profit, and the public sector. At each organization, I saw that things like culture, engagement, performance, innovation, and retention were greatly influenced by how the “people stuff” was handled by leaders and teams. In many cases, it wasn’t done well and I wanted to do something about it.

I started Clear The Way Coaching & Consulting to help leaders, teams, and organizations get better at the “people stuff” like relationships, communication, conflict, and collaboration. I am committed to partnering with you to increase clarity, confidence, and focus so you can achieve results without sacrificing what matters most.
