GET TO KNOW YOUR COACH

It almost feels cliche to say, but honestly, I’m so glad you’re here. I know we haven’t exactly met, but I wholeheartedly believe in you and your potential. Despite whatever it is that’s standing in your way, together, we’re going to find a way to move past it.

I’m generally referred to as a “development coach”, but I think “human potential catalyst” is more accurate. Because that’s the effect I bring to each and every coaching dynamic.

To me, balance isn’t about perfectly dividing yourself into equal parts so you can fulfill everyone’s expectations of you.

Balance is about knowing what brings you peace, harmony, energy, and fulfillment while remaining true to yourself no matter how chaotic things may seem around you.

As a Kentucky girl at heart, It makes me think of my upbringing, when I first learned how to ride a horse. Doing so requires authenticity and partnership, as a horse sees right through to your soul and responds - you can’t lie to a horse!

Learning how to control a 1,200+ pound animal quickly teaches you to respect the delicate balance between holding tight on the reins and pushing forward with your legs.

You have to be willing to soften and let go, even when it feels scary...especially when it feels scary! This seemingly backward action is a balancing act, both physically and emotionally, much like anything we go through in life. 

What you see now as Stay Balanced Coaching was developed years after a successful corporate career with as many highs as lows, and stories I could share far beyond an “About page”.

I’ve worked in industries ranging from manufacturing to health insurance to large hospital systems and departments ranging from Organization Design and Development, Human Resources, Account Management, Operations Management, and Process Improvement.You can get my full resume over on Linkedin, but I’ll stick to the fun stuff here...

Each of those experiences has shaped me into the coach I am today, just as yours have shaped you into the leader you are, too.

At the root of it, Stay Balanced is about moving forward - with intention and focus on the journey itself, not just the outcome. Because lasting results come from steady, purposeful, consistent action.

Consider me your partner, riding alongside you, helping you create your ideal future.
