Heyday Coaching

Schedule a complimentary appointment to explore.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton (one of my personal heroes) said that “fifty, not fifteen is the heyday of life.” I’ll help you find your personal heyday, whatever your age.

When you work with a coach, you invest your time and resources to build a more satisfying and meaningful life. I’m a discerning listener, supportive cheerleader, and gentle accountability partner as you align your work with your goals and values. Gain clarity, visualize the future you want, identify and overcome barriers, and stay motivated by working with me.

I specialize in working with

Clients who are navigating transitions–an empty nest, an unexpected change like loss of a job or a loved one, or a welcome change like a long-awaited promotion. Or perhaps you’re seeking a new career, writing a book, launching a new business, or considering retirement. I can help you map a path forward.

Clients with an academic background–graduate students, independent scholars, faculty members, and administrators on a range of career issues from progress on research and writing projects, mid-career transitions, shifts to leadership roles, and managing relationships.
