Why did you start Expanded Impact?
I followed my passion! I have always been drawn to leadership development activities and to organizations that foster learning, development, and growth. In pursuing my passion, I became aware of the impact of coaching, grew confident as a coach and took action to become a trained & certified executive coach. Establishing Expanded Impact was the natural next step. |
What drives or guides you?
My personal motto guides my journey: "Stand in Truth and Give with Love". I am working on bringing this to bare everyday. I am fully engaged and effective when I am in a space of creating and designing, learning and teaching. Coaching provides this space and thus, makes me become fully alive. Aliveness, yes, that drives me!

What has surprised you about your journey?
I've come to appreciate how my insurmountable mountains become distant landscapes in hindsight. With every milestone, I best myself and redefine my capacity. The vastness of my capacity surprises me. This possibility is available to us all. In short, I continuously expand my own impact as I help others expand theirs.

What has prepared you for this mission?
My mission is to bring courageous enlivenment to leaders and teams in order to unlock maximum effectiveness and engagement. What has prepared me for this is twofold:
Experience: I have almost 20 years of deep experience working in software engineering, business intelligence, and business operations; and across Product, Marketing, Sales, Customer Experience and Information Technology functions. I've built multiple global high performing teams, implemented large organizational design changes, defined company-wide operational processes, and executed complex strategic initiatives from ground up. I've worked very closely with several C-suite leaders and often had to manage intricate relationships and personalities at varying levels in the org. I've also served on the board of directors for a legal services non-profit and led several volunteer professional development programs for women and people of color at work.
Education: I am a certified executive coach, trained by Co-active Training Institute (CTI)®, the leading coaching training organization in the world. I am an active member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF)®, an international organization that governs the coaching profession. I hold both ICF's Associate Certified Coach (ACC) and CTI's Certified Professional Co-active Coach (CPCC) accreditations. I continue my learning through the World Business & Executive Coach Summit (WBECS)®, the world's leading learning platform for business and executive coaches. I hold an M.B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin and a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth.
