"I am an entrepreneur with an extensive leadership and coaching background. I first discovered my coaching strengths when I began regularly receiving requests from personal and professional associates to “pick my brain.” A close friend eventually asked me to meet with her husband to help him flesh out the overwhelming schedule he was wrestling with. This request turned into a coaching relationship per his request. This first coaching relationship was born in 2007 and has since grown primarily through professional referrals. Bridge Performance Coaching was officially launched in 2015. Since then I have had the pleasure of working with a myriad of small business owners, franchise owners, corporate executives, non-profits, teams, and individuals. For the first time in my career, I have found my sweet spot by combining my dual passions for coaching and strategically empowering fellow leaders.”
