What to Expect

Why True North
My Approach

What You Can Expect From Me

My approach is solutions-oriented, action-driven, and self-directed.

I am a catalyst for solution-focused change. My clients learn to channel their energies into actions aimed at forwarding their goals rather than investing time and energy in being stuck. We acknowledge hard truths and catalyze big shifts in thinking around them. In converting problems into opportunities, we strengthen life and leadership skills.

I believe in your potential. I believe that you have all the resources you need, and only need to harness and sequence them to create the very best strategies for success. Therefore I’ll always challenge you to your highest level of competence. I
see all that you are capable of as well as what you’re capable of becoming.

I ask provocative questions. I trust you have your own answers and I create the opportunity for you to hear them, to help you reveal your own wisdom. I am trained to ask powerful questions that help you think for yourself and find your own solutions.

I am a highly-skilled listener. I listen non-judgmentally and intuitively. I hear what is not said. From this, I help you draw out useful insights to gain the clarity and focus needed to move forward.

I hold a mirror up to your thought process. I listen for the way you think, filter, sort, and perceive and what I reflect back to you facilitates insights you might not otherwise have. I help you unearth mental models and paradigms and examine them in the bright light of their ability to serve you.

I identify self-limiting patterns of thinking and illumine blind spots. I help you see how these get in your way and this sets the stage to explore new ways of thinking—opening you up to never-before-thought-of possibilities.

We test out new thinking and behaviors. We explore how it shapes your way of being and the results it creates in your life.

I work with you to set meaningful goals and take bigger, smarter steps towards them. I help you craft hard-hitting strategies to support achievement of those goals and hold your feet to the fire, gently challenging you every single step of the way. Like a personal trainer, you work more effectively at reaching the goal and you are stretched further than you would be on your own.

I give observations, specific, constructive feedback, and offer suggestions. This opens the door to blinding clarity and paves the road to resolution.

I guide you to your next evolutionary step. I listen for and sense shifts you are ready to make and tease out the steps you need to take to get to the next rung in your evolutionary ladder.


I help my clients create a clear picture of what they
want to manifest, examine the obstacles blocking
them, and create strategies to break through.

Imagine . . . a relationship where the total focus is on you, on your career aspirations and what it will take to achieve them. Where the only agenda is to get you to where you’re going.

Imagine a person who will help you clarify your goals and provide the tools for action and learning that lead to the results you want—meaningful and sustainable change.

Imagine a partner who will help you become aware of unsuccessful patterns and help you create new ways of thinking and being that are capable of creating and sustaining success.

Imagine being able to talk straight about what the real deal is at work without fear of judgment or recrimination—with someone who’s been there—and thrived.

Imagine learning how to become more politically astute without having to step on landmines.

Imagine a weekly partnership with someone who helps you prepare—in real-time— for that presentation or negotiation.

Imagine a relationship where you’re challenged to play an even bigger game and you’re given new skill sets to do it.

Imagine having someone on your team who is trained in: listening, thinking,
communicating, change, learning, neuroscience, psychology, and systems
helping you become even more effective and reaping the rewards commensurate with that new level of operation.

There is no relationship like a coaching relationship. It is unique, it’s powerful and it brings results.

Clients come to True North Resources for help with
job hunts, crazy schedules, competing priorities, overwhelming challenges, career transition,
reinvention, start-up businesses, strategic selling,
leadership development, and gender-related
challenges.

With coaching, a beautifully timed, perfectly worded question can remove barriers, unlock hidden information and surface potentially life-changing insights.
