Coaching for People Who Make
the World a Better Place

I worked for over 20 years in the nonprofit and international development world:

  • teaching middle school on a remote island in the Central Pacific

  • developing and leading public health programs in Kenya and Angola

  • raising funds to advance public health, social and environmental justice.

​

I've become a coach to support others who dedicate their careers to making the world a better place.

YOUR CAREER IS A JOURNEY

ARE YOU ENJOYING THE RIDE?

You want your work to have meaning.

You want to be challenged and grow.

You want to be balanced, confident and productive.

You want to be healthy and happy.

IF YOU ARE NOT, LET'S TALK.

Working with a coach can help you achieve your goals.

WHAT COACHING WITH ME LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE

  • Six or more 1:1 coaching sessions, focused solely on you.

  • Deep exploration of your goals: what is success for you? What do you want more of? What do you need to let go of? 

  • Accountability and kindness as you work toward the change you want. No judgment. 

  • Partnership from someone who shares your commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.

  • Mentorship: if and when you ask for it, I'll happily share my perspective, drawing on my professional experience.

  • 100% confidential.

YES! YOU CAN AFFORD COACHING.

I don't want coaching to break your budget.

Rather, it should feel like a meaningful investment in yourself.

I can't coach for free, but if my rates feel out of reach for you, let's talk.

Stu is an AMAZING coach! Our work together has been so instrumental in helping me clarify or see things I want to work on in my life -- both at work and outside of work. 
 
As a result of coaching with Stu, I feel more confident -- especially when it comes to negotiating additional work and communicating with my bosses about my needs and ideas.
 
And it's not just work: I am making more connections and pursuing ideas and projects that really excite me. I'm meeting new people/making new friends and strengthening my current friendships.
​
I am very proud of how much more well rounded I am!
