professional background
I have worked for over twenty years leading and helping others lead entrepreneurial companies in the business-to-business, consumer, and professional services sectors. In the late ‘90s I started using that experience to coach business and organizational clients from around the world, both individuals and teams. I am an innovative leadership development facilitator with a passion for working internationally. My emphasis is on experiential learning to help leaders develop greater self-understanding and therefore clarity about where they can have the greatest impact.
Mine has been a multi-faceted career of cross-industry experience, including IT Marketing with international corporate clients; and internal and external sales. I am known for generating innovative ideas for leveraging growth and transformation in individuals and organizations.
My passion is working with leaders committed to making a difference in their communities. I founded my company, Dancing Star International, to help individuals and organizations realize their full potential – to more fully recognize and embrace their talents, abilities, and differences in order to create innovative, effective, and fulfilled leaders and teams.
The majority of my coaching and consulting clients have been self-paying individuals native to countries around the globe including Canada, UK, Japan, Sweden, Trinidad, Israel, Korea, and the US, and have held mid- to senior-level roles in consumer, business-to-business, state university, healthcare, science, and arts organizations such as Apple Computer, General Dynamics, Hewlett Packard, London School of Economics, SunTory, Philips, Pfizer, and the United States Federal Government. Consulting clients have been in both business-to-business and commercial roles.
