My goal is for you to achieve a 5 to 10 times return on this investment. If you don’t believe that this is possible based on your aspirations, we should not move forward.

As an executive and career coach, I use a blend of proven leadership development methodologies and coaching frameworks to help clients unlock their full potential. My approach is tailored to each leader’s unique challenges and goals. Some of the key methodologies I incorporate include:

1. Strengths-Based Coaching

I help leaders identify and leverage their natural strengths to build confidence, enhance leadership presence, and maximize impact.

2. The TOMS Model

(Topic, Objective, Motivation, Success) is a structured approach often used in coaching, training, and leadership development to guide conversations, goal-setting, and performance improvement. It ensures clarity and alignment in coaching engagements by breaking down key elements of professional growth.

3. Leadership Presence & Influence Strategies

Drawing from research in executive presence and personal branding, I guide clients in communicating with confidence, navigating high-stakes conversations, and fostering trust.

4. Change & Transition Coaching

For leaders in career transitions, I apply Bridges’ Transition Model to help them navigate uncertainty and establish clarity in their next steps.

5. Powerbase Development

I emphasize the importance of strategic networking and stakeholder management to strengthen influence and career growth.

A typical coaching engagement with me is structured, personalized, and results-driven, designed to help leaders refine their presence, navigate transitions, and elevate their impact. While each engagement is tailored to the client’s unique needs, it generally follows these key phases:

1. Discovery & Goal Setting

The process begins with a deep-dive conversation to assess the leader’s current challenges, aspirations, and professional goals. I use tools such as 360-degree feedback, and leadership assessments to establish a clear starting point. Together, we define measurable objectives and key areas of focus.

2. Strategy & Action Planning

Once goals are set, we develop a customized coaching plan that includes practical tools, leadership frameworks, and strategies to address communication, executive presence, conflict resolution, and decision-making. I help clients gain clarity on their strengths and growth areas, ensuring they have actionable steps to move forward.

3. Implementation & Growth

Coaching sessions (typically biweekly or monthly) are a mix of strategic discussions, real-world application, and accountability check-ins. Clients apply insights in their work environment, and we refine approaches as needed. This phase often includes high-stakes conversation preparation, time management strategies, and leadership influence techniques.

4. Reflection & Sustained Development

As we approach the conclusion of the engagement, we assess progress, celebrate wins, and create a long-term sustainability plan. The goal is for clients to leave the coaching experience equipped with lasting skills, a strengthened leadership presence, and a clear path forward.

My coaching engagements typically last 3, 6, or 9 months, and are customized to the individual or organizational needs. Throughout the process, my role is to provide insight, challenge assumptions, and offer strategic guidance, ensuring my clients grow into more confident, effective, and inspiring leaders.

I measure progress and success throughout the coaching engagement using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods tailored to each client’s goals. Here’s how:

1. Goal Setting & Alignment – At the beginning of the engagement, we define clear, measurable objectives aligned with the client’s leadership or career development goals. This might include enhancing executive presence, improving communication, or navigating a career transition.

2. Regular Check-Ins & Feedback – Throughout the coaching process, we assess progress through reflection, discussions, and feedback from key stakeholders when appropriate. Clients are encouraged to track their own insights and behavioral shifts.

3. Behavioral & Mindset Shifts – Success isn’t just about outcomes; it’s also about growth in confidence, decision-making, and leadership effectiveness. We evaluate how the client applies new strategies and overcomes challenges.

4. Assessments & 360 Feedback – Depending on the engagement, I may use leadership assessments, stakeholder feedback, or self-evaluation tools to provide data-driven insights on progress.

5. Milestone Reviews – At key points in the engagement, we review achievements, refine strategies, and adjust our approach to ensure continued growth.

6. Sustainable Change – The ultimate measure of success is the client’s ability to maintain and build upon their growth beyond the coaching engagement. Clients leave with a clear roadmap for continued development.

I hold a master’s degree in Industrial and Organizational psychology, complemented by expertise in human resources and leadership development. With two decades of experience, I have worked alongside leaders to navigate complex challenges and enhance their leadership presence. Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how the right guidance and strategic support can elevate a leader’s confidence, effectiveness, and overall impact.

Inspired by these experiences, I founded Cornerstone Human Capital, an executive and career coaching practice dedicated to helping business owners, executives, and professionals in career transition unlock their full potential. My passion lies in strengthening leadership presence, enhancing communication, and aligning careers with personal values.

To further refine my approach, I pursued certification in executive (and career) coaching, formalizing my expertise and incorporating structured, research-backed strategies. My goal is to equip leaders with advanced coaching methodologies that drive meaningful transformation, enabling them to grow, thrive, and lead with authenticity.

Coaching will help you improve your leadership and career by providing personalized guidance, targeted strategies, and actionable tools to enhance your leadership presence, communication, and decision-making. Through coaching, you will gain deeper self-awareness, refine your ability to influence and inspire others, and navigate high-stakes situations with confidence. Additionally, coaching supports career growth by helping you align your professional trajectory with your core values, strengthen executive presence, and develop the skills necessary to excel in leadership roles. Whether you’re transitioning to a new position, leading through change, or striving for greater impact, coaching equips you with the mindset and strategies to thrive.

When conflicts or difficult topics arise, I guide the conversation with curiosity rather than judgment, asking insightful questions to help clients gain clarity on the root causes. I use frameworks such as reframing perspectives, active listening, and conflict resolution strategies to navigate the situation effectively. My role is not to provide all the answers but to challenge limiting beliefs, surface blind spots, and help clients develop productive solutions.
