MORE ABOUT ME
Values-Driven Coach and Facilitator, Enthusiastic and Playful Human. Family-first Believer. Sports do-er.
I am an optimistic, passionate person who embraces new opportunities and challenges with an eagerness and enthusiasm to generate true forward momentum. I believe every person has an innate wisdom, is the expert in their own life and sometimes needs help to remember their truth. My energy, passion and playful approach inspires people to find and live their answers, ready to ‘give it a go’!
I work with a select few clients Monday through Thursdays. I want clients who are reaching for their version of awesome in their own life and leadership. Fridays are for my hockey, friends and just general good living! Outside of my coaching, I dedicate my life to learning from my two wonderfully wild and wise sons and my amazing husband who call me to my best and amaze me every day. I'm an active and enthusiastic athlete, a hockey and basketball fanatic, and life-long learner since I know these are the things that help me be the happiest, healthiest, most powerful and most playful version of myself.
​
I do my best to live by my core values every day. I am definitely not perfect, and perfection is not the point; the point is in the striving, in the waking every day and doing my best to live the highest expression of my core values that I can. Some days are flat out better than others, and as long as I am learning it is all going to be okay. Speaking of my core values, maybe I should share them with you! I wouldn't be me without: Play (lightness, laughter, enthusiasm). Curiosity. Sharing, listening and trust. Purposeful innovation and action. Authenticity.
​
It's from this place that I will help you to play more powerfully in your own life.
Maybe you want to know more about my professional background...Prior to entering the world of coaching, I worked for 15 years for a Learning and Development company in various leadership roles as well as a facilitator, coach, and program designer. It was a fantastic learning opportunity that taught me how different organizations can be, and how similar our wants often are as people. And before that, fresh out of university, I worked for a Big 5 Consulting Company - all great learning!
​
In 2016, I attended a graduate program at Royal Roads University in Values-Based Leadership. This is where the pieces of my professional and personal life started to really make sense to me. With the lens and language of values, and working alongside my own coach, I created PowerPlay with Cathy Anderson because I love helping people play more powerfully in their lives. It's as simple as that.
