My Approach to Coaching

Lead with Questions. Be Curious. Care Deeply

Leadership today demands more than vision and strategy; it requires emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and the ability to lead others with both courage and compassion. I offer leadership coaching and mentoring rooted in Radical Candor and a curiosity that helps leaders slow down and think more clearly.

Whether you're navigating tough decisions, managing challenging team dynamics, or seeking personal growth, my coaching helps you pause, reflect, and lead with clarity and confidence. I help leaders think so they can act independently. I lead by asking questions. The most transformational leadership comes when we challenge directly and care deeply about people, purpose, and growth.

As Michael Bungay Stanier puts it, the key is to ‘stay curious a little longer and rush to action and advice-giving a little slower.’ That’s how leaders uncover their own best answers.

My Coaching and Mentoring Centers on these Ideas:

• Radical Candor: Challenging directly while caring personally

• Curiosity First (Michael Bungay Stanier): Asking the “easy questions” that unlock clarity and action, such as “What’s the real challenge here for you?” or “If you’re saying yes to this, what are you saying no to?”

Arthur Brooks’ idea states that it’s not about rescuing or over-accommodating. It’s about caring enough to help someone become their best, even when that means making hard decisions or having difficult conversations. Michael Bungay Stanier’s approach adds another layer: by starting with curiosity, leaders create space to discover what truly matters before acting.
