Why I’m serving on the Board:  I have valued being of service and volunteering since I was young.  As a coach I have learned how meaningful it is to have a strategic thinking partner, and recognize that we’re able to exponentially impact connection and growth far more in partnership, than alone. Being a part of this chapter has inspired me and supported me. I am committed to this community of professionals who also see the value of service, credibility and ongoing development 

Why I’m serving on the Board:  “What the world needs now is love sweet love.” Coaching widens the lens of our world view and invites us to ponder what’s possible. It’s invigorating to imagine a world made more vibrant by purposeful connection, consciousness, and service. It is rewarding to assist in the ongoing support and professional development for coaches and professionals interested in coaching. I am serving on the Board to expand the footprint of coaching in underserved communities and to create increase in the purposeful pursuit of diversity, inclusion, belonging and justice.

Why I’m serving on the Board:  ICF Gulf Coast is such a desired community for me. I have experienced a 40+ year career in executive management of corporations owning and operating hospitals and related health care facilities. I have also been a entrepreneur and owner of several small businesses and franchises. I engaged in the coaching process by happenstance when I was transitioning and repurposing myself into what I conceptualized as “retirement.”

Why I’m serving on the Board: Service to others is a cornerstone of my daily personal, spiritual and leadership practices so I am grateful to contribute my talents and experience to help the ICF Gulf Coast chapter thrive and grow. I also enjoy working with a group of professional coaches committed to creating success!
