Why Me

I am passionate about working with clients who are ready to reconnect with who they are, rebuild their career direction, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

This is your time to reset and move forward.

If you believe this, then read on.

I help clients gain clarity, rebuild direction, and translate their strengths into clear next steps during periods of career transition.

People tell me that it's the thoughtfulness, insight, empathy, and care that I bring to each situation that makes the difference.

Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what other people have said about working with me:

My Dandelion Story

I've done it and you can, too!

My background in human resources spans more than 25 years, working across recruitment, employee relations, talent development, and organizational effectiveness. I have coached and supported individuals at all levels, helping them to understand their strengths, navigate career decisions, and move forward with greater clarity and success.

Throughout this work, I developed a deep interest in how people find direction in their careers–especially during moments of uncertainty and change.

Despite a successful corporate career, I reached a point where I felt disconnected from my work and wanted something more aligned with how I could support people directly.

So I made a change.

I left my 23-year career in corporate human resources to focus on coaching and career reinvention support.

I chose to bring my experience, skills, and HR background into a more direct coaching practice—helping people navigate transitions, reconnect with their strengths, and rebuild meaningful direction in their work.

People who work with me gain clarity, confidence, and practical direction. They move through career transitions with more structure, stronger messaging, and a clearer understanding of what fits them now.

Since going into private practice, I've become a life coach, career coach, outplacement counsellor, HR consultant, speaker, blogger, and syndicated writer, sharing my message in many forms.

I haven't looked back, and neither have many of my clients once they find their direction again.

Career transitions are often the doorway to something more aligned—you just need clarity to see it.
