Excel at Work Without Overworking
Welcome!
I help you sustain high performance at work
without sacrificing the rest of your life
Can You Relate?
If you crave clarity on where to focus your efforts so you can excel at work
without sacrificing the rest of your life, you're in the right place.
MISSING THE MARK? You're a high achieving professional who is ambitious and has exciting career goals, but lately you feel overwhelmed at work, like you can't possibly take on more responsibility at work or like you are missing out on the rest of your life.
DOING IT WRONG? You feel like you are failing - like you must be in the wrong job or like you are doing it wrong - because you haven't been able to keep all the balls in the air.
You have yet to crack the work-life balance code.
STUCK? You’ve been looking for ways to combat this feeling - multitasking to the max, rewriting/reorganizing/color coding your to-do list and researching the latest productivity systems and hacks - but you’re stuck…
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT It's easy to stay in a constant state of busyness, with no end or easing in sight:
⚠️ back-to-back meetings and a never-ending to-do list
⚠️ chasing the clock and feeling behind the eight ball
⚠️ little to no time for anything but work
⚠️ feeling like you are letting others down - at home and at work
⚠️ only having enough time to fight fires
⚠️ only having enough energy to go through the motions
YOU WANT What you want is to feel in control and to be spending just the right amount of time and energy on the right things when they matter most so that you can achieve both your professional and personal goals.
It is possible and it's possible for you!
You can have career success while living a life you love – where work enhances rather than overshadows the rest of your life.
Let’s get started.

In today’s fast paced world, staying on top of your professional priorities is hard enough – staying on top of everything else is even harder. It’s a problem, but luckily it is a problem that can be overcome.
Exceling at work while enjoying the rest of your life does require some work - work to discover, to become and to continue to be the whole person you want to be, including the professional and leader you want to be at work.
When you already feel like there are too few hours in the day, focusing on this work with someone who has been there can expedite your success. I’ve been there and I’ve done that!

My Story
Hi! I am so glad you found me. My mission is to help you excel at work without overworking by designing a life you love, including what you love about your work.
Before I discovered coaching, I worked for 20+ years in Finance, most recently as an Executive in financial reporting. When reflecting on my corporate career, what I enjoyed most was the people and what I am most proud of is the coaching and mentoring I was able to do, enabling growth and development in others.
For much of my corporate career, I let work become all consuming. I wanted to be successful but there was just one problem…I never defined what success meant to me - at work or outside of work.
For a time, overworking benefited me - I did it willingly, I did it for a long time, I was promoted and acknowledged for my work and work energized me! But eventually...overinvesting at work caught up with me. I got married, had a family and started missing out on (maybe even neglecting?) the rest of my life.
I tried so many times to fix it, to figure out how to work less, but I just could not see a way to make it all work while still being "good" at my job. Not being able to figure this out along with my many failed attempts made me feel pretty miserable about myself.
It wasn’t until I worked with a coach myself, discovered personal development and started accepting personal responsibility - really looking at what I was thinking and what I was doing - that things started to change. Through this journey and a lot of trial and error, I discovered how to start living and enjoying my whole life, including what I enjoyed most about my work.
I am now here and fully committed to helping you do it too.
