WHY LEAP OF FAITH?

Why an executive leadership coach?

People ask me all the time: “Why Leap of Faith?”


“Is it faith-based coaching?”
“How did you land on that name?”

Fair questions. And the short answer is — Leap of Faith isn’t just a brand. It’s my story.

When my sister passed away from cancer, everything I thought I knew about my life and career flipped upside down. I had spent decades in global HR leadership roles in high-pressure environments — private equity, corporate transformations, M&A, the whole rollercoaster. It was meaningful work… and yet, when grief showed up, the job suddenly didn’t make sense anymore.

So I did something bold. Something terrifying. Something 100% led by my adventurous heart:

I took a Leap of Faith.
I trusted myself. I trusted the process. I trusted there was something bigger and more aligned ahead — even if I couldn’t see the landing.

So for me that’s what a leap of faith means.

It’s not about reckless action.
It’s about intentional courage.

A leap of faith is a moment — the moment — when you finally say:

“I’m done settling.
I’m choosing something better.
I’m trusting myself to land.”

That shift changes everything — careers, relationships, confidence, boundaries, joy.

And that’s exactly what I help my clients do.


Who I Coach — And Why They Show Up

Most of the leaders I work with have never worked with a coach before. They’re smart, accomplished, respected — and still, something inside whispers:

This isn’t it. You’re meant for more.
It’s time to leap.

So they reach out. They take a risk on themselves. And they tell me later, “I just had a gut feeling you were the one.”

Why me?

Maybe it’s the HR background — knowing the corporate game from the inside.
Maybe it’s the private equity edge, the M&A experience, the boardroom battle scars.
Maybe it’s that I’m a mom and a military spouse — I understand resilience on and off the org chart.
Maybe it’s because I’m a woman, and sometimes that creates a safer space for vulnerability — even (especially) for men.

Or maybe it’s simply this:

➡️ I see people as humans first, leaders second.
➡️ I believe transformation doesn’t require perfection — just a willingness to leap.
➡️ I help leaders thrive in a way that aligns with their values and their lives.
