You have a million ideas and a nagging dread that you’re missing opportunities. You’re overwhelmed. When you’re not rushed you’re stymied. You’re drowning in notes and creative pile-ups. Does that sound familiar? It was for me, until I applied what I learned as a successful Product Manager to my own writing career.
In our interactive sessions, we’ll walk through fun and effective ways to prioritize, estimate, and roadmap all your work. You’ll learn how to fight the Overwhelm and gain the confidence to know that you’re doing the right work and doing it right.
I'll provide you with clear, customized methods so that you can define your personal path - no matter how many obstacles are currently blocking you and slowing you down.
No Corporate Speak. Just practical ideas from someone who’s been there and has a unique combination of creative and business experience that I’m excited to share with you.
You're serious about your goals, but not sure if coaching is for you. No worries!
Tell me your goals and expectations and, for the price of lunch, I'll pack as many great tips as I can into our our introductory mini-coaching session. You'll come away with practical information you can apply immediately.
If you think we're a good fit, we can build off of this foundation to create a coaching experience that works for you.

No risk. No obligation.
Build clarity & confidence.
Learn how to visualize your path forward so that you can reduce your decision fatigue and concentrate on your art.
Increase your confidence with making those decisions to reduce FOMO (fear of missing out).
Based on your own personal priorities and goals, learn methods to quickly determine whether or not to pivot to a new idea or project.
Together we can map out any current project, e.g. writing a novel. Or look at broader view of the author's journey, e.g. to build your own prioritized year-at-a-glace view of your author business.
Come away with re-usable templates, worksheets, tools, and skills to build and implement your vision.
Thinking about becoming published and not sure which path to take? Self-published? Traditionally published? Hybrid?
I can help you decide which path is best for you and your book.
I can also help connect you with experts in your chosen path.
You didn't become an author to post on social media daily, do cold calls, or build an email list. And yet, you have a sneaking suspicion that you might need to do these things, and more, to reach your goals.
Together we can build strategies to help you get comfortable with everything from social media to book signings to working with retailers.
I can help you audit your digital presence, prepare you for book-signings and other events, give you strategies to get your books into retail sites, and much more!
Go at your own pace. Stay true to yourself.
Don't see what you're looking for? Want more information before committing?

I'm an award-winning author who has published 4 works in 5 years. As an Independent self-published author, I've sold close to 10,000 copies of my books globally. And, I have several more books and other creative projects in progress.
I am also a 36-year veteran of the Corporate world where I helped global organizations deliver hundreds of complex IT solutions to satisfied customers. I've led large teams, facilitated workshops, and helped talented people like yourself reach their career goals with insightful, fun, and personalized 1:1 coaching.
Drawing from my decades of experience of working in the Corporate world as well as with Creatives, it’s become increasingly clear that these worlds are not so far apart as many believe. I’ve found that many authors and other Creatives dismiss the power of their creative skills as they apply to product management, negotiation, sales, and marketing. I can help you identify, hone, and apply those skill to grow your business as a Creative Entrepreneur.
Grow your confidence. Grow your sales. Get going on your goals.
You can do it!
