The Gentleness Formula

A Step-by-Step System for Leading Powerfully in Work and Life

The Gentleness Formula is a 6-month, transformational one-on-one program.

Tailored to you, I will be using the appropriate modules and tools as we go.  

The program is not incremental; it’s transformational. You will know by the results you get as you do the required work.

It is designed to teach you what you need in order to stand in your strength, confidently being yourself and the authority of your life.

Gentleness is the central approach at every step of the way. It’s the mindset you come from for ease and spaciousness, as you learn.

Gentleness is a conscious attitude and a cornerstone of the methodology that we apply to make your transformation feel manageable, kind, supportive and calm.

It is more effective and structured, and is designed to plant all the seeds of wisdom and action you need to step into your next level.

After a 30-year career as a corporate leader of training, organization development, change management, leadership development and coaching, I decided to move into full-time private consulting and coaching.

As a Certified Coach and graduate of the Coaches Training Institute’s 10-month Co-Active Leadership Program, I have much to share about being the leader of your life, in all areas of your life.

With roots as a certified yoga teacher, holistic health educator, writer, speaker and workshop leader, I bring diverse experience and boundless creativity.

If you have a desire to be your most compelling self, equipped to flourish, I invite you to contact me for a strategy session to discuss what you want for yourself. Click here to connect with me.

Wishing you a gentle day,
