My passion is to be your personal guide to overcome obstacles and gain a fresh mindset. Let’s get started together!
My own life-changing journey began 30 years ago when I met my German husband-to-be in Santa Monica, California, and we decided to move to Germany to start our family. It was one of the biggest and best decisions I ever made, but looking back, there was definitely a fear factor along with the excitement of moving to a new country and culture. The idea of being immersed in the German language with few English speakers at that time was what I feared most.
Over the years, living as an expat in Germany, I have come to realize that I did not have to be perfect to communicate. I just needed to be brave enough to try and do my best with the few words I had. Think less and speak more! This mindset allowed me to integrate and grow in the German culture and adjust to my new life with confidence. This knowledge became my mission statement when I started my coaching business 9 years later. Often when I work with my German clients, they tell me they do not speak good English. I immediately ask them how they came to believe this, and most share that even though they learned English in school, there was more focus on theory and grammar than speaking. As a result, these clients typically experience fear based on perfectionism and lack of speaking practice. This is where my experience and expertise in supporting clients to overcome their fears enables them to feel confident in both their jobs and private lives. The results of my client’s new ability to empower their English communication have been stellar. This has become the foundation of my coaching mission in helping clients overcome their fear and has led to the creation of my own successful full-time corporate and private coaching business.
