Reinvention & Leadership Coaching
As a successful woman over 50, you’ve achieved remarkable heights. Yet something’s stirring…a desire for deeper meaning, fresh challenges, or a powerful new way to make your mark.
Maybe you’ve lost someone. Maybe your role has changed. Maybe you’re just tired of going through the motions. Whatever brought you here, you’re in the right place.
I help women like you figure out what’s next when everything feels uncertain.
Not with complicated theory, but with practical steps you can actually take.
We’ll design a plan for your life that feels right, one that honors where you’ve been and gets you excited about where you’re going.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be ready to start.

Your nonprofit or mission-driven organization is doing important work. But something’s not clicking: your board needs direction, your team needs clarity, or your strategy needs a refresh.
I’ve been in your seat. As the first female CEO of Detroit’s United Way, I led a merger, raised over $120 million, and built partnerships that actually worked.
I know what it takes to align a board, strengthen leadership, and move an organization forward.
Whether you need a strategic planning retreat, board development, or help building sustainable capacity, I bring decades of executive experience, not just consulting theory.
Let’s get your organization unstuck and moving with purpose.
