Surely you weren’t expecting the typical corporate headshot?  Now, really!  (I do have those if you need them for my speaking engagement with your organization).

Lest you think this is just something I do because I feel like it (which I do, by the way), know that my many years of education, strengths, and professional achievement have all led to this point. This includes undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, a comprehensive coaching program, Gallup Strengths coach training, leadership development certificates, numerous continuing education courses and life experiences (many times the best teacher!) I have even had my own monthly coaching-themed radio show.   While this is a nice to know, it benefits you in the wealth of knowledge and resources I bring.  You can truly see how my top 5 Strengths (strategic, individualization, achiever, input, learner) work together to make you great!

My amazing sense of adventure permeates all I do! In my leisure time, I enjoy swimming, biking, travel and sailing trips. In my role as a coach, that same sense of adventure fuels a creative approach to helping clients achieve their goals and strive for what may seem impossible at first.

The bottom line is that my coaching produces high-impact results, results that will move you in the right direction – your direction. These are results that will resonate in your life, your business and the lives of others for years to come.

There is always a story behind a name, and Stone Soup is no different.  I struggled to come up with a name that captured me and what happened as a result of coaching.  I went through several names, yet nothing truly stuck.  A while ago, I was on a personal retreat day.  I wanted to review that year to date and look for a name that reflected my coaching.  I spent hours writing themes I heard from clients, reviewing client evaluations, etc. looking for a connecting thread.  The walls of the room were covered in flip chart paper!  I was standing in the middle reviewing, looking, and thinking when I exclaimed, “this is just like the story “Stone Soup” I read as a child!”  The peasant comes to town and is hungry.  He stops at one house and asks for food, and the people reply, “We only have potatoes”.  He stops at the next house, “we only have carrots.”  The next house he stops at says, “We can’t share because all we have is onions.”  So the man decides “I’ll make my own soup using these stones.”  He starts cooking and everyone comes out and adds their ingredients to make it the best soup ever!  I have realized in my coaching that individuals, executives, and businesses were responding “we can’t do that, because we only have this.”  My style of coaching clients is to work with exactly what you have and make it great!  No more waiting for the latest, greatest theory or management style.  Let’s work with your skills, gifts, talents, business climate and culture and make it great!

Let’s take some “stones”—my experience and insight—and add them to your current situation! Let’s see what happens. I guarantee you’ll love the way our Stone Soup tastes!
