---------------------------------------------------
As a leadership coach, I have worked with leaders from such diverse organizations as the U.S. Coast Guard, SC Johnson & Company, Kaiser-Permanente, SpineCare-SOAR, and the East Bay Lutheran Youth Leaders Association. I've also worked with the Northern California Conference of Seventh Day Adventists and the media company, Live Nation. Trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other helpful forms of coaching that help clients get unstuck, I have helped many leaders get through impasses in their careers.

As an academic consultant, I have consulted for Cal Berkeley’s, Graduate Department of Bioengineering, Cal’s Graduate Department of Public Policy and the San Jose State University, Department of Instructional Design. I have also worked with students on dissertation design and experimental implementation at Argosy University and The Wright Institute. I am currently a graduate instructor in leadership in the business department at California Pacific University in Pinole.

Here is a list of services we provide through our leadership and organization development group:

.
Customized Consulting:
I) Executive Coaching For
1. Derailing Leaders: Do you have a “Wrong Fit”, a “Burned Out Boss”, a “Personality Problem”, a “Work-Aholic”, a “Major-In-The-Minors” Manager, a “Hates Conflict” or an “Abrasive Abe”?
2. Tech-Head-To-Leader who is high on knowledge of the business but low on knowledge of the people and how they work.
