I’m an adventurous, intuitive, leading-edge-loving, post-executive coach and catalyst for change.

• I’m Canadian 🇨🇦 ! (And American 🇺🇸)
• I became a hang glider pilot at 15 AND it was my 65-yr old (at the time) dad who got me into it!
• I got my Master’s in Cultural Studies and started my Ph.D. in Women’s Studies (until my advisor told me that, being neither queer nor a man-hater, nor a fan of University politics, I didn’t have much of a future.)
• I wrote my first (unpublished) sci-fi novel at 17
• I was born a Countess (until I married my husband - thanks Alan)
• My dad was flying hang gliders, riding bikes, and kayaking until his death at 96
• I own a home in Colorado and Costa Rica (Blue Zone, Baby!)
• I’m currently learning to paraglide
• I married at 50 for the first time (even though a previous boss said I was more likely to get hit by lightning. Eff YOU Doug!)
• I literally COULD do underwater basket weaving. (My mom taught me how to weave baskets and was pretty renowned for it in her later years + scuba diving.)
