WORK WITH ME

The human side of your career deserves attention too.

Whether you are stepping into leadership, questioning what comes next, developing your team, or trying to build a healthier organization, the starting point is usually the same:

Something is not working.

And you are ready to think about it differently.

Here are the ways we can work together.

Private Leadership Coaching

A PLACE TO THINK CLEARLY WHEN THE WORK IS COMPLICATED.

Private coaching gives you a confidential space to step outside the immediate demands of the role and think more intentionally.

Together, we might work on leadership presence, communication, emotional intelligence, difficult conversations, decision-making, team dynamics, confidence, career direction, boundaries, or sustainable performance.

Private coaching may be a good fit if you are:

  • A senior scientist, director, executive, academic leader, or technical professional.

  • Stepping into a larger leadership role.

  • Navigating organizational change.

  • Managing complex team dynamics.

  • Facing a significant career decision.

  • Feeling successful on paper but less certain about how sustainable that success feels.

The goal is not to turn you into someone else's idea of a leader.
It is to help you become more intentional about the leader you want to be.

Group Coaching Programs

GROW WITH PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND THE TERRAIN.

Professional growth can feel surprisingly isolating. Especially when everyone around you appears to have things figured out. (FYI they usually do not.)

Group coaching creates space for STEM professionals to learn from one another while building practical skills and getting meaningful coaching support.

Programs may focus on career strategy, leadership, communication, emotional intelligence, confidence, networking, professional identity, time, energy, and emotional management, or navigating transitions.

There is structured learning, reflection, honest conversation, and relief in discovering that other capable people wrestle with many of the same questions.

Group programs are designed for:

  • Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
  • Early- and mid-career STEM professionals.
  • New and emerging leaders.
  • Assistant professors and researchers.
  • Professionals navigating career change or growth.

Speaking & Workshops

IDEAS WORTH THINKING ABOUT. TOOLS WORTH USING.

I speak about the human side of science. Leadership. Communication. Curiosity. Emotional intelligence. Belonging. Ambition. Sustainable performance. The messy reality of being a person inside a complex professional system.

Talks combine research, stories, reflection, practical frameworks, and humour. I want people to leave engaged - but more importantly, I want them to leave with something they can use.

Speaking is available for:

  • Scientific and professional conferences.
  • Universities and research institutes.
  • Healthcare and public-health organizations.
  • Leadership events.
  • Professional associations.
  • STEM organizations and teams.

Sessions can range from keynotes to interactive workshops and facilitated learning experiences.

Online courses

Learn new information on your own time.

Sometimes you just want to learn some new tools/skills but live courses are too expensive and hard to fit into your busy schedule. Don't worry, I got you!

All online courses are meant to be informative and practical.

Online courses are designed for:

  • Anyone who wants to learn something new

Not sure what fits?

You don't need to know which service you need before getting in touch.
