Executive Emotional Intelligence Coaching
Science-based, grounded in empathy and accountability
You’re smart, capable, and driven, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. The pressure to make the right decisions, and keep it all together can feel like a lot. We work together to grow momentum in your leadership, strengthen your emotional intelligence and address the feelings of stress/anxiety/worry that are reality in leadership.
executive leadership
Being a leader is complex, demanding and can be lonely.
Great leadership starts from within. We will explore your leadership style, values, decision-making patterns, and communication habits.
Leading an organization can feel like juggling a hundred priorities, while still wondering if you’re focusing on the right things. Business growth and personal growth go hand-in-hand.
Create the clarity, confidence, and presence needed to lead with head and heart. Whether you are navigating growth, change, corporate culture, or team dynamics, this is a space to reflect, realign, level up as the leader, set business growth goals, and move forward with accountability and practical action steps.
emotional intelligence (EQ)
It’s easy to feel stuck in patterns of reactivity, disconnection, or self-doubt—without fully understanding why.
Self-awareness, self-management, social awareness & relationship management are the cornerstones of emotional intelligence.
Authentic leadership requires all four, and a willingness to explore your blindspots to create different results.
Discover what drives you, what makes you react the way you do, and learn about the power of the ‘pause’ between stimulus/trigger and response. We begin with building strong self-awareness to help you navigate internal and external triggers that you are required to manage daily in your professional and personal life.
stress & anxiety/worry
It is natural for leaders to experience high levels of stress and/or anxiety/worry, but we often do not feel comfortable talking about it.
As humans we are wired for threat assessment, and in business (and in life in general), there are endless opportunities to worry about the ‘what ifs…’, experience uncertainty and situations that don’t feel in our control, which in turn heightens anxiety/worry and stress.
Explore what’s beneath your stress/anxiety/worry, recognize patterns, beliefs and stories that may be holding you back personally and professionally, and develop self-management tools.
I help you build self-awareness, resilience, and momentum to thrive in both high-pressure situations, and in the quiet moments when you are alone with your thoughts.

Blueprint To Success Workshop
Success doesn’t happen by chance, it is built with intention. In this experiential leadership workshop, you will create your blueprint to success for your organization, exploring where you are now, where you want to be, and the steps to get there.
Develop awareness of your values and corporate culture, of your current outcomes and design an actionable plan to bridge the gap between today and your desired future.
Speak with Confidence Workshop
Did you know that the majority of people rank the fear of public speaking higher than the fear of death?
In this interactive workshop, you will learn about awareness and management of your emotions, how to connect with your audience, and how to create an engaging presentation so everyone in your team is ready when it’s their time to stand up in front of a group and give a presentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the format of the coaching sessions?
We typically meet every 2 weeks (depending on your needs, we sometimes accelerate meeting times at the start). Our coaching sessions can be in-person in Kelowna at your office, or via online meetings which most of our clients opt for.
Phone, text and email support is available between coaching sessions. Think of it like micro-coaching, little connections where we can check in as you need it, because life and business (and its challenges) don’t run on a set schedule.
I have done other business coaching before. How is this different?
While I do incorporate many elements of traditional business coaching such as goal setting, and also lean on my over 30 years of business experience to help you solve challenges in your marketing, operations and team, the work we do together will go far beyond that.
Our work together requires openness, trust and vulnerability; I help you become very honest with yourself on what’s holding you and your organization back. Our conversations will not always be comfortable, but they will always be supportive.
Do you only work with people with anxiety?
Short answer: No, I will work with you as well if tell me you do not experience anxiety.
As a research practitioner in the field of emotional intelligence and anxiety science, I do have a longer answer as well for you: Everyone experiences varying levels of what is called state anxiety, also defined as acute stress. This is a normal response to an emotional, physical or cognitive stimulus, and state-anxiety is transient in nature, with a quick onset and offset. The second type of anxiety is trait anxiety. Unlike state anxiety, which is triggered by a concrete stimulus, trait anxiety is related to personality. A person with high trait-anxiety can be prone to worry-thinking, rumination and related fear responses.
Anxiety/worry is not not good or bad, but it makes us human.
