| COACHING & MENTORING

Work through it with someone who will think with you.

It is about creating space to understand what you are navigating, identify what matters, notice the systems and patterns shaping your experience, and build ways forward that are actually workable for you.

​

Some coaching is about leadership. Some is about goals. Some is about work, school, identity, change, creativity, decision-making, or figuring out how to operate inside systems that were not designed with you in mind.

​

The work is reflective and practical. We can think deeply and still leave with something you can do.

Coaching Areas

Relational Leadership Coaching
For leaders, emerging leaders, informal leaders, and people trying to lead differently.

We can explore:​

  • Power

  • Relationships

  • Decision-making

  • Trust

  • Participation

  • Organizational dynamics

  • Conflict

  • Change

  • Values and practice

  • Leadership identity

  • Leading without formal authority

  • Difficult institutional environments

  • Building healthier ways of working with people

Goal & Success Coaching
For people who know they want something to change but need help creating a path that works.

We can work on:​

  • Clarifying goals

  • Turning large ideas into manageable steps

  • Prioritization

  • Accountability

  • Sustainable planning

  • Project completion

  • Decision-making

  • Academic goals

  • Creative goals

  • Career goals

  • Building personal systems

  • Adjusting when a plan stops working

The question is not simply, “Why are you not doing the thing?”
 
Sometimes the better question is, “What about the system surrounding the thing is making it unnecessarily difficult?”

Neurodivergent Life & Work Coaching
Practical, peer-informed support for neurodivergent adults who want to build systems around how they actually think, work, learn, and live.

Academic & Professional Coaching
For graduate students, educators, researchers, and professionals navigating complicated intellectual or career work.

Possible areas include:​​

  • Executive functioning

  • Planning

  • Routines

  • Work and school systems

  • Communication

  • Self-advocacy

  • Managing competing demands

  • Sensory and environmental needs

  • Goal completion

  • Preparing for difficult conversations

  • Understanding personal work patterns

  • Identifying accommodations to explore

  • Recovering when conventional productivity systems repeatedly fail

We can work on: ​
 

  • Scholarly identity

  • Research routines

  • Writing practices

  • Organizing ideas

  • Long-term projects

  • Career transitions

  • Professional identity

  • Preparing presentations

  • Moving from practitioner to scholar

  • Turning expertise into public work

  • Managing several meaningful projects at once

This is coaching and practical support. It is not therapy, diagnosis, medical treatment, or mental health care.
A diagnosis is not required to work with me.

What coaching looks like

You bring the actual situation.

​

We might question assumptions, map what is happening, notice patterns, build a system, make a decision, develop language for a difficult conversation, or leave with a concrete experiment to try before the next session.

​

I am not interested in giving you a motivational speech and sending you home with a prettier to-do list.

Coaching should help you understand yourself, your context, and your choices more clearly.

Mentoring

Sometimes you do not need coaching. You need someone who has been where you are trying to go.I also offer mentoring in areas where I have meaningful professional and lived experience, including:

  • Open education and OER

  • Educational technology

  • Digital learning

  • Faculty development

  • Libraries

  • Curriculum and instructional design

  • K–12 and higher education

  • Emerging leadership

  • Graduate school and scholarly identity

  • Professional transitions

  • Research and writing practices

  • Presentations and speaking

  • Program development

  • Creating courses and resources

  • Turning professional expertise into public work


If you are not sure whether what you need is coaching, mentoring, consulting, or some combination, you do not have to figure that out first.

Start with what you are trying to navigate.
