“I love humans, and I am a naturally curious person. It is important to me to understand the perspectives of others and give them a space for grace, empathy, and understanding as the foundation. I don’t know how you can ever truly coach a client without understanding how they came to have the ideas and values they hold. For me, I don’t want to change peoples’ minds, I want to nurture an environment where a client can understand the perspective of others, and recognize their own capacity for empathy to truly transform their own lives.”

“When people come to us for coaching, it is not usually voluntary. Some come angry, reluctant, and apprehensive, and some are hopeful. My goal is for every person to leave the diversity coaching process feeling that they have gained insight, perspective and a new attitude that they will continue to use in their workplaces. My aim is to make them feel at ease while we discuss difficult words and behaviors. I love when those who were initially reluctant express appreciation for the diversity coaching session and discuss how they want to foster inclusive environments going forward.”
