Trusted Coaching Professional
My life’s work and passion for transformation compelled me to become a UBC Certified Organizational Coach. I am certified in a variety of training programs and instruments, including the Team Diagnostic Survey, an instrument intended for use both for the diagnosis of the strengths and weaknesses of work teams and for research on team behaviour and performance. In my spare time, I volunteer for EthicalCoach.

THE KORU
The koru (Māori for "loop or coil") is a spiral shape based on the appearance of a new unfurling silver fern frond. The koru symbolizes new life, growth, strength and harmony. The koru is a constant reminder to accept opportunities for change and growth, to understand that although we may face challenges, we can remain balanced and in control.
I have had the good fortune to spend time in Aotearo, the Māori name for New Zealand, and have a love for the place and its people. I use the reference to the koru, to maintain a connection to the surreal landscape and the warmhearted people.
