This is where you start holding it all together differently, from the strength of your Stillpoint.
A bespoke, high-touch container for high-functioning professionals who are ready to lead without losing themselves.
Let’s make sure I am the right support for you in this private, high-impact call to get you clear, grounded, and in motion.
Why the Stillpoint Partnership Matters Now
The demands won’t stop. But you don’t have to keep paying for success with exhaustion. The Stillpoint Coaching Partnership reframes how you lead and live, giving you the tools, language, and support to sustain your impact without losing yourself in the process.
The Hidden Cost of Brilliance
The world is churning and demands on our time and tenacity are only increasing.
Behind the deadlines met and crises handled, the cost builds under the surface:
The weight of propping up everyone else, without being seen for what it takes
The frustration of feeling more capable than your peers, yet more isolated than ever
The exhaustion of being praised for your performance, while the person beneath it all goes unnoticed
The Problem
The Solution
A Different Kind of Focus
Through shared language, openness and curiosity, you’ll work in a container built specifically for you.
No cookie-cutter curriculum. Just precise guidance when you need it most.
I am driven to create this alliance as a matter of appreciation and fairness. I love smart, engaged minds, and I know how unfair it can be to feel as though there isn’t much social support for intelligence.
A Solid Sense of Self
Through the work, you will gain:
Success that energizes
Sustainable rhythms
Clarity & calm
A connection that adapts as you grow
Authentic strides toward the ideals and interests that matter to you the most
The Transformation
When you’re the one everyone counts on, success can carry an invisible cost.
Outwardly, the goals are met and the standards exceeded, but beneath the surface, the toll adds up. The weight of holding everyone else together without being seen, the frustration of being more capable yet more isolated, the exhaustion of always performing while the person underneath goes unnoticed.
It’s simply that the old way of holding it all together no longer fits.
Pressure
The result?
A solid sense of self that fuels sustainable success.
Together, we create rhythms that let you thrive, rather than endure.
You reclaim energy, lead from clarity and calm, and grow in a process that adapts as you do.
Success becomes energizing again and you live authentically, no matter what happens in your professional and personal lives.
Possibility
That’s why I created the Stillpoint Coaching Partnership.
The process is based on appreciation and fairness. Things that intelligent, capable people don’t always enjoy.
I love smart, engaged minds, and I know how unfair it can feel when intelligence goes unsupported.
Through shared language, openness, and curiosity, we build an environment designed just for you.
Precise guidance when you need it most.
Partnership
Use-cases
My clients share one thing in common: they’ve outgrown struggling for struggle’s sake.
Identity clashes stall progress
At the NSF, brilliant scientists and career civil servants clashed in an “us vs. them” dynamic. By naming the stuck energy and offering practical tools, I helped restore collaboration where misunderstandings had been choking innovation.
Course Correction is Your Greatest Asset
For a law firm partner on the edge of burnout, the grind wasn’t sustainable anymore. Through coaching, they redefined success, avoided collapse, and reemerged with clarity and a sustainable rhythm for leadership.
A high-powered university leader called themselves “lazy” in nearly every session. By reflecting the truth of their situation, we unraveled a childhood pattern that had held them hostage for decades. The result? A late-life marriage, a renewed family dynamic, and an up-leveled life they never thought possible.
You Are Not the Story You Were Told
Marriage saved with a single hug
A couple came to me certain they were finished. By hearing their real needs, I uncovered their real disconnect. One simple question — “How do you like to be hugged?” — asked at the right moment, dissolved barriers and rebuilt their trust. Through tears, one partner said, “If I’d only known this, I'd have done it all along.”
At Stevenson University, after a racial slur inflamed tensions, my facilitation helped move leaders and students from defensiveness, to understanding and actionable goals. The result: a shift from surface level “diversity talk” to real, lived change. One participant said, “I didn’t realize until now how much I needed to say this out loud.”
Crisis demands clarity
True Strength Lies In Using Your Tools
A client called me after witnessing a public shooting, unsure if the shock “counted” as trauma. Through compassionate grounding and strategy, they named what was happening and began to heal. That night, they avoided years of untreated PTSD — and discovered resilience they could trust.
See the Pattern | Change the Pattern
One client was on the verge of a blow-up with a colleague. Remembering my “Sock Puppet Theatre of Life” metaphor, they stopped, reset, and shifted the moment. Later, they laughed and said, “I totally Bonny-ed her.” What could have been a career setback became a moment of unexpected leadership.
Back on Track After a Scandal
At USAID, I was brought in during a time of crisis, when tension and overwhelm had blocked communication. By holding calm space and asking precise questions, leaders moved from paralysis to alignment. One senior official told me afterward, “We are all making better decisions now.”

If you’ve read the books, taken the courses, ‘talked it out’, and still feel like people just don’t get you, I’d love the chance to help you see what that might feel like.
Through listening deeply and grounding insight, into reality (Hint: being more realistic does not mean being more negative), I help clients find that space between confusion and resolution, where real change begins.
I am a mirror
I am a guide
I bring a rare combination of nervous system precision, grounded strategy, and rich emotional fluency. I’m often the person people call when they need to move from confusion to clarity, and from clarity to decisive action.
No pressure. Just true evolution.
When saving the world on a global level only got me so far, I channeled that drive into coaching, counseling, and emotional integration. For more than 25 years, I’ve supported high-functioning professionals at pivotal moments in their lives, careers, and self-awareness.
I am a mentor
I’d like to invite you to a Turning Point Assessment Call to explore if my process is right for you.
