Leadership Coaching
at the intersection of
Communication,
Nervous System Regulation & Emotional Intelligence
One Living System.
You're burned out. Fed up. Done performing a version of leadership that was never built for how you actually function as a human.
Maybe you've tried the scripts, the frameworks, the five-step programs that work great until you're actually in the room and your body doesn't cooperate. That's not a you problem. It's an outdated conditioning problem that ignores the nervous system and the emotions running underneath every conversation you have.

WHO THIS IS FOR
You’re here because something’s not working.
The Divide Is Showing:
Knowledge Isn’t Translating to Action: You understand emotional intelligence, but under stress, your body reacts before your mind catches up.
Communication Breaks Down Under Pressure: In high-stakes situations, you may shut down, over-explain, or say things you later regret.
Leadership Feels Performative: What looks like professionalism from the outside is often a survival strategy on the inside, and it's exhausting to maintain.
You Want Something Different:
Patterns Keep Repeating: The same relational dynamics arise with your team, board, and at home, and you can't break the cycle.
Lead from a Different Place: You want to be grounded, responsive, and connected to your body, your emotions, your values.
No More Frameworks: You need embodied practice that changes how you show up in real moments.
Does This Sound Familiar?
You’re in the right place if you’re experiencing:
The knowing-doing gap (your body acts differently than your knowledge)
Uncontrollable reactivity in high-stakes moments
Performing presence instead of genuinely feeling it
Repeating communication patterns (the same conflicts, the same shutdown)
Difficulty with hard conversations (avoiding or escalating)
Exhaustion from maintaining a leadership persona that isn’t true
This work is for leaders ready to build capacity, not just learn more concepts.
THE PROBLEM
Why Traditional Training Usually Doesn’t Sustain
Most training treats you like a brain on a stick, offering:
X Cognitive frameworks that overlook nervous system responses
X Communication "scripts" that feel inauthentic in real situations
X Advice to "be vulnerable" without building the capacity to experience emotions and stay regulated
X Skills training that doesn’t transfer when triggered
The Result?
You know what to do, but in the moment, your body reacts differently.
What’s Missing: Embodied Communication Practices
Real leadership development strengthens your capacity to:
✓ Notice bodily responses before reacting
✓ Stay present in difficult conversations
✓ Communicate clearly under emotional stress
✓ Build relational trust through coherent communication
✓ Respond, not react; acting from practice, not performance
This is somatic, relational, and practical work—practice that builds capacity over time.
NOW OFFERING…
The Hard Conversation Intensive
For the leader carrying one conversation you’re totally dreading.
The layoff. The conflict that's gone underground. The feedback that's three months overdue. You don't need another framework. You need to walk in steady and come out with your integrity and the relationship intact.
In one focused 90-minute session, we map it together: the opening, the hard middle, the words that hold under pressure, how to walk in regulated, and how to repair if it slips. You leave with a one-page Conversation Map, and we debrief after you've actually had the conversation.
From there, you’ll be able to enter other hard conversations with the concept, the confidence, and the practice that will help you stay grounded, in control, and in right relationship with yourself and others.
Communication is a nervous system event before it's a language event. We prepare both.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
One 10-minute intake session to surface the issue followed by
one 90-minute 1:1 virtual intensive.
The Conversation Map: your opening, the hard middle, the words that hold, the nervous-system prep, and the repair path. Reuse and repeat for every hard conversation thereafter.
One 30-minute debrief,
after the conversation happens.
INVESTMENT: $950

My Approach
HOW I COACH
I Coach From These Principles:
The body knows first: We work with your nervous system’s signals and your internal emotional compass.
Patterns repeat for a reason: We meet recurring dynamics with curiosity.
Communication is relational: We focus on how you relate to others.
Presence over performance: The goal is coherence, not just better performance.
Integration takes time: This is practice-building over time.
This is a process, not a personality. What you're learning is repeatable and teachable, not dependent on chemistry with me. You'll be able to run it without me.
I bring:
30+ years of communication expertise
Mediation training and conflict transformation experience
Somatic awareness practices and nervous system literacy
Emotional and relational intelligence

FAQ
Common Questions About Leadership Coaching
-
We don't start with strategy. We start with your body. The Field for Human Communication™ works from one premise: communication is a nervous system event before it's a language event, so before we move you through the program, we locate what's actually true for you and root back into your body enough to think clearly. From there, the work moves into real dialogue, then out into whatever you're leading next: a hard conversation, a leadership decision, a pattern you're ready to change. The goal is building a way back to yourself that holds long after your coaching program completes.
-
Most communication training teaches you what to say. Most traditional coaching helps you think through what you want. This work does both, but only after your nervous system is regulated enough to access either one. Dr. Marc Brackett's research at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence backs up what The Field has always taught: you can't think your way to a better response from inside a stress reaction, you have to regulate first. So instead of scripts or frameworks handed to you from the outside, we build a practice you carry inside your own body: locate what's true, root into regulation, then lead the conversation. It's not information delivery. It's capacity-building, and it's yours to keep.
-
What changes is timing: you notice your own reactivity earlier, and you have a real option besides the old pattern, whether that's shutting down, over-explaining, or saying something you'll walk back later. Which program fits depends on what's actually in front of you right now. If there's one specific conversation you're dreading, start with the Hard Conversation Intensive. If you're ready to rebuild how you lead day to day, 1:1 Leadership Coaching or Small Cohort Coaching is the deeper container. If you're facing a specific threshold, a promotion, a difficult boundary, a high-stakes feedback conversation, Threshold Moment Coaching is built for exactly that. Prepping for a hard conversation? The Hard Conversation Intensive just might be the medicine you need. A discovery call is the fastest way to find out which one is actually a fit for you!
