One to One Individual Coaching 

Are you a driven, ambitious individual who has already built a successful career and worked your way into senior leadership? 

But even though you've apparently "made it", you feel like you've only just scratched the surface of your potential and you definitely aren’t ready to shift into cruise control for the rest of your life.

You're seen as a high performer so people often assume you've got it all together and you're left to your own devices. Which can be great on one hand because it obviously means that you're a trusted leader in the firm.

But on the other hand, you crave having someone in your corner who can help give you the support (or the giant kick in the pants) you need to really step into your full potential.

You know there's more you want to achieve...
You're ready to make a bigger impact...
Yet the vision you have for the next stage of your journey still feels a little blurry.

What's Next? Finding Clarity and Purpose for Your Next Bold Move

Maybe you've got a clear goal for the next stage of your life but don't know how to make it happen.

Maybe you've already managed to hit all your career goals (and then some) but are now left questioning... is this all there is?

Or perhaps you have that nagging feeling that the time has come to make a bold change of direction.

As you move into this next stage of your growth, you've got some big decisions to make.

But what you absolutely CANNOT afford to do is to make those decisions based on:

  • what you think you SHOULD be doing

  • what other people EXPECT of you

  • what your FEARS are telling you

Those big decisions can only be made for your highest good when you have a clear vision of how you want your life to look - both personally and professionally - and when that vision is derived from the core values of who you are, how you want to show up in this world, and what truly matters to you on the deepest level possible.

The problem is...

When you're stuck in the weeds of day to day operations, being pulled in a million directions both at work and at home, there's never any time to stop and think about what that vision could possibly look like.

And even if you did have the time and mental capacity to give it some thought, it can often feel like a big fat question mark.

So how DO you get clear on what you actually want to do with this one precious life of yours?

How do you start to sharpen the edges of that blurry vision and allow the next stage of your journey to crystalize in your mind?

How do you navigate the internal chatter that might tell you it's impossible or that you don't have what it takes to make it happen?

And how do you start... step by step... to bring that vision to life? 

To back yourself and invest in the support you need to live into your vision and put a plan in place for how you will continue to raise the bar and live out your dreams.

Well... you work with me of course! 

In our work together, you will have the mental and emotional breathing room you need to create a truly strategic vision for the next stage of your journey. Whether that involves growth in your existing career, a complete pivot such as transitioning out of Corporate into your own business or a significant change in your personal circumstances.

Meet Paula

With 40+ years in professional services — spanning Financial Services, Non-Profit, and Big 4 firms — I’ve led in high-pressure roles across Audit, Consulting, Strategy, Operations, and Risk. I reached the so-called pinnacle of my career, yet I knew I was here to have a greater impact.

I’ve navigated a demanding career while raising a family solo and caring for my aging parents — I understand the juggle. Now, I coach ambitious professionals ready to take charge of their careers and lives, whether seeking clarity, growth, or a bold next step.

Blending my corporate expertise with Life and Leadership Coaching, I listen — I walk the journey with you. 

As your Coach and Thinking Partner, I’ll help you navigate through and beyond your challenges, make empowered choices, and build a career and life where you feel truly valued.

I can’t wait to see you thrive.

  • “I believed that my prior work experience was fairly niche, and I wasn’t sure how transferrable my skills were. Through our coaching sessions, Paula helped me to see that I do have skills that are highly transferable and valuable to organizations even outside of the federal government. 

    I was also surprised by how much I actually like myself and my story. Through exercises, such as “tell me your story,” Paula helped me to see the golden threads of my life, which I take great pride in. I now see that I have a lot to offer the world, both personally and professionally, and that’s not something that I think I genuinely believed before. Learning to ask for what I want has been completely life changing. The ask is a demonstration of worthiness, and I do believe that I’m worthy of asking. This has improved my confidence and communication by leaps and bounds. Lastly, I’ve gained confidence in my ability to continue to grow and change with the ever changing world.”

    Lauren, Director, US Government agency

  • “This is the first time in my life I feel like I’m blazing my own trail instead of doing ‘what I’m supposed to’. I’ve discovered what I actually want to do instead of doggedly pursuing roles that were expected of me by others. I learned to understand who I am, how I can be in control of managing my energy, and to feel more powerful.

    Paula enabled a transformation for me that was bigger than I originally anticipated. She was understanding and validated what I was going through, and offered numerous tools to help me think through my challenges and identify what I want and how to pursue it.”

    Sarah T., Strategy & Transformation Manager

  • “Paula was empathetic and reaffirming. My confidence in crafting and presenting a well-articulated business proposal resulted in a very positive ending to an awful situation. Paula's confidence in me was an important catalyst to this change. Though I tend to be a shy individual, my success post the coaching experience has given me an extra boost of confidence in my abilities. I am now more comfortable accepting my role as a subject matter expert in the firm.

    I enjoyed Paula's full attention. I will never forget her willingness to listen and help. I cannot stress how pivotal Paula's help was in course-correcting what would have probably been a descent into a spiral of self pity and despair. She is competent, empathetic and a wonderful listener. I cannot recommend her enough.”

    G.E., Director, PwC US

  • “I struggle with juggling multiple hats including a full time demanding job, young children, aging dependent parents and a husband with an equally demanding job who travels full time. A dedicated coaching session helped me to evaluate exactly what the stressors in my life are. It allowed me time to slow down and consider all the inputs that cause stress and acknowledge there's a lot more on my plate than just work.

    This helps shape the way I think about work and life and work/life balance. Rarely do busy, executive women take the time to evaluate life holistically. Saying out loud all the things I am juggling was surprisingly cathartic. Working with Paula is a good probing and call to self reflection - it forces busy women to take the time to get real about roadblocks and acknowledge things they're often too busy to tackle. If you are considering Paula’s coaching services, just do it.”

    Director, PwC US

How to Stop Facing Big Changes Alone and Build a Clear Path Ahead

If your career to date has taught you anything, it's that you have the strength and fortitude you need to make things happen. But it's also taught you that trying to do everything on your own is exhausting and isolating.

And when you feel like you're standing on the precipice of one of the biggest shifts in your life, it can feel like an incredibly lonely and uncertain place.

But when we partner together, not only will you have a Coach and Thinking Partner to help you walk through and beyond those challenges in a safe and non-judgmental space, I will also help you to connect to your OWN inner wisdom so that you can bring clarity and certainty to every decision you make and believe that your vision is not only possible... but inevitable.

Today is NOT just another day. It’s a new opportunity. 

An opportunity to have the clarity you need to make powerful decisions about how you want the next few years to unfold and get the support you need in place to make it happen.
