About Babs

I’ve spent years inside the kinds of organizations many of my clients lead, as a public sector senior manager and as a not-for-profit executive director. I know what it looks like when good people get stuck in difficult systems, when leadership becomes more exhausting than it should be, and when someone finally finds their footing again.

My coaching is aligned with the ICF Core Competencies. My facilitation is endorsed by the International Association of Facilitators. My approach is whole-person, because what happens in your professional life connects to everything else, in ways that don’t separate as neatly as we’d sometimes like.
