Who I am
My leadership values are about work-life balance, nurturing your team, clear priorities and achievable outcomes. Family and health come first.
I developed this approach over 20 years as a Government of Canada executive, where I led many teams – as chief of staff, in digital services, communications, corporate governance, and policy making.
I now leverage my broad experience to help public sector leaders reach their potential and deliver on priorities.
Based in Ottawa, I am a certified business coach (International Coaching Federation) and a Prosci change sponsor. I work in English and French.

Robust resources inform my work, for example on:
- Leadership coaching – The International Coaching Federation and the FLOW Coaching Institute,
- Management best practices – The Harvard Business Review,
- Effective change management – Prosci,
- New ideas on how we work – authors like Carl Honoré, Kate Tarling, Sara Filbee, Trine Falbe, Wendy K. Smith, and Marianne W. Lewis.
