What is coaching?
Coaching is clarifying what you want and powerfully moving towards it. Coaching gives you the space to discover and focus on what you truly want, consider new perspectives, and transform your feeling of being stuck into clarity. Working with a trained professional using proven techniques, I will help you find the strategy to get where you want to go.
Why should you work with me?
My background includes a degree in Public Affairs and Human Resources from Indiana University, and I am a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) through the Co-Active Training Institute. CTI partners with the International Coaching Federation to ensure rigorous training in foundational coaching skills, proven methodology, and a strict code of ethics. I bring both proven coaching techniques and hard-won business insight to our work together. You get the best of both worlds: structured coaching support and practical wisdom from someone who's actually walked the leadership path.
Why does Alex coach?
My path to coaching began when I was selected for a high-potential leadership program at work. After just a few sessions with my own coach, something clicked. I kept thinking, "This is it—this is exactly what I love doing: helping people unlock what they already know but can't quite see yet."
That curiosity led me to the Co-Active Training Institute, where I discovered not just proven methodologies, but a transformational way of being with people. The coaching I received during my training was life-changing—it gave me the clarity and courage to pursue my dream of starting my own business, creating the flexibility I wanted for my growing family while doing work that truly energizes me.
What I love most about coaching is that electric moment when everything shifts for a client—when they suddenly see their situation with fresh eyes or realize they've had the answer all along. That energy exchange between coach and client is unlike anything else. There's nothing more powerful than witnessing someone step into their own wisdom and take action on what truly matters to them.
Who are your clients?
I work best with people who are ready to take action and create meaningful change. You might be someone who:
Wants to discover your core values and align your career with what truly matters
Is navigating a transition and exploring what's next
Seeks to develop your leadership presence to reach the next level
Feels stuck and is ready to break through to something new
Balances professional ambitions with family commitments and wants to thrive in both
Will this be confidential?
YES! Your coaching relationship with me is strictly confidential. This includes all discussions, insights, and even the fact that you are working with a coach. I will never share information about our work together without your specific permission. The sole exception is if I become aware of an immediate danger to you or others, which would require me to contact appropriate support resources.
