Coaching for Academic Leaders & Professors

A specialized service designed to help academic professionals and leaders thrive in the complex world of higher education.

Work with me one-on-one

I work directly with academic leaders and professors—often those stepping into new leadership roles or seeking to refine their existing skills—to navigate challenging transitions, manage complex interpersonal dynamics or cultivate high performance.

Whether you’re a professor looking to improve time management, focus and wellbeing, or in a leadership position striving to boost team performance, increase your impact or give more effective communication and feedback; I tailor each coaching engagement to your unique needs. I also understand the pressures of balancing the demands of your professional and personal life, and I’m here to help you set healthy boundaries and find greater fulfillment.

By offering practical strategies and compassionate support, I support you to set your goals and take the steps to ultimately create a positive impact in your life and within your institution.
