Who I Am: The Philosophy Behind My Coaching
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to new followers and existing followers I have never met.
As a coach, a leader and a product manager, my philosophy centers around empowering leaders and product managers to excel not only in their roles but in their entire lives. We are human beings, with a unique inner life and we bring that to our professional careers. I believe that great leadership is cultivated through a blend of hard skills, emotional intelligence, and personal growth, which is why I practice whole-person coaching and training. This approach integrates practical expertise particularly in leadership principles and the management of products, with deep, inner work that helps individuals grow beyond professional boundaries, by confronting their inner barriers, limiting beliefs and shadow selves, allowing leaders to identify what stops them in life, career & business. In fact, it allows them to self reflect on their shadows enough, to then integrate them, which means you find inner peace and acceptance; joy in fact!
With over two decades of experience in senior leadership roles and product management, at organisations such as McGraw Hill and Netflix, across the US, UK, and Australia, I’ve seen first-hand that success is more than just mastering frameworks and delivering on goals. It’s about who YOU are?both as a leader and as a person; who then has an impact on others. You get to choose that impact; will it be fabulous, or will it be awful.?
You are a human being, having a professional and spiritual life and it is time that we realize being professional also includes the humanity you bring to your career or business. It is about balancing professional development with personal introspection so that you can live a life you love and manage people with integrity, humanity and empathy that builds connectedness and self expression.
My coaching approach addresses both professional skills and personal growth, helping you navigate leadership challenges with agility while also uncovering the things that might be holding you back from living an extraordinary life. My areas of passion and focus includes agile thinking, vision and strategy, ?discovery practices, stakeholder management, and many leadership other skills, but I also incorporate coaching on spiritual concepts, positive mindset, and other transformational principles that enable people to live powerfully and authentically. This holistic approach fosters leaders who not only achieve their business goals but also have the inner alignment to lead with purpose, integrity and vision!
In the past I had also worked as a certified personal trainer, so health and fitness plays a foundational role in my philosophy. A strong body supports a strong mind, and my belief is that leaders need to be healthy, mentally resilient, and emotionally intelligent to sustain high performance over the long term, especially in today's fast paced corporate world. Incorporating health and fitness into your day to day supports a balanced life, which is crucial for long-term leadership success.
Whether you’re looking to refine your leadership, product management skills, or unlock your personal potential, my coaching, training and blog insights offer an integrative, transformative journey. It's what I LOVE. Over the next few months, you will notice that my blogs will start to merge these philosophies together, taking a more integrated approach, much like our own day to day lives as we work on not just becoming better professionals, but on becoming better human beings. Choose to be kind, choose to be of service to others by becoming a conscious leader! This is the path to living an extraordinary life and leading in a way that inspires others to do the same.
