Biography Building Resiliency Through Change I have always believed in coaching from the time I started working with the Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching almost seven years ago. Completing the Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching at Royal Roads University has made coaching become a way of being for me. I have shifted my listening and my way of conversing at home, at work, with friends, in organizations that I am connected to…not a huge shift…however, an impactful shift. Believing in and being are two different pieces. I learn from each and every coaching conversation that I am engaged in and am finding that everyday conversations are turning into coaching conversations so naturally now. I have been involved with organizations linked to the coaching profession and have been intrigued by the different ways of thinking and the common value of helping others. Being part of these organizations has helped me realize that this is something I would like to part of not only as part of my career but also as part of my life. I have had the mindset of a “coach approach” with teams and colleagues throughout my career. I have participated in many leadership programs as I am curious about how people rise to the challenges they face in their lives. I am very involved in my community and am currently the Vice President of the Vancouver Island Coaches Association (VI Coaches), a member of the Executive Board for the Accredited Coach Training Organization (ACTO) and a member of the Board of Directors for Worklink. I am a “people person” and am thrilled to be coaching people to help them get to where they would like to be. I enjoy contributing to making a difference…one person at a time.
