Coach | Consultant | Writer | 3rd Act Gypsy

Welcome to my website – I’m glad you stopped by! Let me introduce myself and tell you a little bit about my offerings.

The 3rd Act

After 25 years in the Corporate World as a communication professional, I left to explore my 3rd Act. What’s that, you ask? It’s that time of life our parents called retirement. But I believe our parents’ retirement is not the retirement of the 21st century. I believe my generation has a unique opportunity to thoughtfully, proactively, and, dare I say playfully, plan for life after the Corporate World. Now, I combine my background in theater with my years of coaching and communication experience to be of service to others. If you are interested in hearing more about the Third Act concept, view this TedTalk.

My Services

Coach: As a certified coach, I specialize in working with executives and leaders to achieve their full potential and impact. I also work with anyone looking to make a transition – either professionally or personally. And for those who long for more creativity in their life, I help you discover, reawaken and deepen your creative spirit.

Consultant: As a communication consultant, I work with executives and their teams to create thought leadership platforms and global communication strategies. I also work with internal communications teams to develop long and short-term plans that support company culture and business outcomes. Utilizing my theater background, I have expertise in event strategy and designing leadership workshops, executive general sessions and keynote addresses.

The Gypsy

As for the Gypsy, my journey began by volunteering to be laid off and buying a one-way ticket to Barcelona. Since that time, I’ve become a certified coach, created a communication consulting business, travelled extensively and found my voice through writing. It’s been a wonderful time of exploration and discovery.

I hold a deep belief that I am never lost, just exploring this beautiful life I am given each day. Through my travels, foibles and experiences I hope to inspire you to discover your true path and plan for your own 3rd Act journey.

Book Reading

I’ve been part of a year-long program to help me write my self-help/memoir. While still a work in progress, I was able to read a short excerpt last month along with my fellow writers in the program. If you missed it, the replay can be seen here.

Note: I’m the first reader.
