- My professional background includes a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and over 20 years of experience as a research scientist and manager in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. I held a variety of management roles and consequently I have a broad understanding of the pressures and realities of the corporate environment.
- I have experienced a wide spectrum of management training programs and I am certified as a facilitator for two comprehensive management skills programs (AchiveGlobal Frontline Leadership and BlessingWhite Managing Personal Growth). Thus, I can act as a resource for you in many of the professional skills that are fundamental to management success.
- I am certified in a widely-used behavior styles tool and have had extensive training and certification in the Enneagram system for personality. My workshops on both behavior styles and the Enneagram have received high marks from participants.
- I am a serious amateur athlete and a highly experienced rock climber. My experiences as a climber have given me perspective about concepts of success and failure, decision-making, risk-taking, and moving beyond fear. You may find this perspective useful as you work through related issues during the coaching process.
- My special coaching strengths are my exceptional analytical and problem solving skills, my strong perceptive and intuitive senses, and my high level of creativity and imagination. The values I bring to our coaching relationship are integrity, honesty, and respect.
