Leadership Coaching
Are you a senior leader seeking greater impact and influence, and improved relationships with your key stakeholders? Do you find yourself navigating complexity, striving to serve your stakeholders at the highest standard—while balancing the quiet toll that leadership can take?
Leadership today demands not only strategic insight, but emotional resilience, responsiveness and adaptability, and a strong internal compass.
I bring to coaching the same values that have anchored my leadership roles in global health—compassion, collaboration, and diplomacy. Over the years, I’ve led teams, shaped strategy, and built partnerships to drive meaningful, real-world change. Now, I work with leaders like you to navigate transitions, strengthen your leadership presence, and align your work with your deeper purpose.
Let’s partner to unlock what’s possible. Together, we’ll cultivate the insight, intention, and behavior change you need to lead with confidence—and increase your impact and influence over the long term.
Resilience Building
Purpose-driven professionals — whether in health care, global health and development, or academia — often deliver at work at great personal cost. In high-stakes, high-burnout environments, your own well-being can quietly slip to the bottom of the list, even as you continue to show up for others with unwavering commitment.
If you’re such a professional, coaching offers more than support — it offers renewal. Randomized controlled trials enrolling physician-clients have shown that coaching meaningfully reduces emotional exhaustion and burnout, while enhancing well-being and retention.
As a physician and seasoned global health leader, I know firsthand how burnout ripples beyond the individual — it compromises not only your health and well-being, but also the care, connection, and service you provide to others.
Applying training in Coaching for Personal Development and my unique Active REST Framework©, I work with professionals like you to restore resilience, rebuild your protective strategies, and reconnect with what called you to this work in the first place.
Mediation for Conflict Resolution
Are you facing a challenging interpersonal conflict and looking for win-win solutions that preserve relationships, rather than deepening divisions?
Whether you're navigating medical malpractice claims, family decisions regarding elder or child care, or business disputes, mediation offers an effective, expeditious, and empowering alternative to litigation.
I’ve spent my career building partnerships, negotiating agreements, and fostering collaboration, and I bring that same passion for negotiation and peace-building into every mediation session.
As an International Mediation Institute (IMI) Qualified Mediator, trained through a New York State Court-approved program, and decades of leadership and cross-cultural negotiation experience, I support disputing parties to co-create mutually favorable solutions in high-stakes situations.
