WHO I AM

My personal purpose is to bring the human being back to business. I believe the distinction between work and life is a false polarity. Life is happening all of the time and true leadership is about taking responsibility for what you are creating, reconnecting to your inner core, your humanity, and authentically honoring your values.

WHAT I DO

I partner with executives to disrupt habitual ways of leading, uncover blind spots, and build inclusive, human-centered cultures of innovation and operational excellence. I bring radical presence, deep intuition, and compassionate challenge to Executive Coaching, Intentional Culture Creation, Senior Team Alignment, and Keynotes. READ MORE

 
INTEGRITY is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them.

HI-TECH HI-HUMAN

 
As an executive coach and culture practitioner, I am committed to building inclusive cultures that balance human being and human doing. Cultures that dissolve what I believe is the false polarity of high performance and high support. As hi-tech gets more sophisticated, supporting human systems and cultures needs to be better understood, paving the way for hi-tech meets hi-human. The more organizations grow and the more sophisticated technology becomes, the more important it is to attend to the often under-leveraged human dimension.

“Pamela is simply an outstanding partner, team builder and developer of talent. We have partnered building three different executive leadership teams, in three different circumstances - from corporate business unit leadership, turn around, and private equity carve out. She quickly assesses the situation, works directly and pointedly with leadership, and delivers results toward building a high-performing team. She is literally among my first calls when I am building a new leadership team or need to make long-term change.” - CEO, Global Private Equity backed company

“Pamela was a terrific partner for me and my team as we were building multiple emerging businesses and an innovation capability in a Fortune 100 company. She helped us move from a group of individuals to a cohesive team and elevated our thinking to tackle the challenges we faced. Pamela brings a rare combination of deep expertise with strong intuition to tune into what is needed. She brings the heat to make you better along with deep empathy and understanding of the challenges. Years later, we see this learning journey with Pamela as a career highlight. She is the real deal!” - SVP

“Pamela is nothing short of masterful as a coach.  She brings incredible range and moves fluidly from offering support  to challenging you to think bigger and stretch farther, all the while standing squarely with you through whatever you are navigating.  She brings razor sharp intelligence and perceptiveness, belly-laughing humor, complete discretion, and a very helpful edginess to the work. I learned a lot about myself and grew tremendously as a leader during our work together.” - CEO and Founder

“Pamela, when I was referred to you, I had no idea what to expect. I had a preconception and a little skepticism around what coaching could or could not offer me.  A few months on, I can hand on my heart say that this is the best investment I have ever made in my life as working with you has helped me to change my life forever, tackle issues I have run away from for years head on and make my dreams come true. Thank-you for opening my eyes to the world and to myself.” - CEO and Founder

“Pamela is one of the best trainers and coaches I have worked with.  She brings an amazing level of grace, power, intelligence and insight to her work.   She is a truly loving and caring person. She is a brilliant facilitator and is able to connect with groups in a profound manner to  bring out the best in people.” - SVP

“Pamela is both insightful and inspirational. I worked with her for six months and am much richer for the experience. As I think back over the subjects we covered, I recall the aspects of my life that we explored. Areas that were either undiscovered or shut away from view. I have much to thank her for, and feel sure that we will work together again.” - CEO


“Pamela has been a source of real inspiration to me. She was courageous in her approach to me, challenging me when I needed challenged and ultimately helping me find my path to true happiness. When I first called her to talk about me and my life, I was encouraged by her no nonsense, sensitive approach to the issues that I faced with confronting the things getting in the way of my happiness. She helped create frameworks and points of reference to help me understand why I was behaving in the way that I was and really stepped up to making me take responsibility for helping create my future. When I made excuses, she called that out. When I was upset, she helped me out. When I was scared she encouraged me and most importantly when I was brave she celebrated with me.” - CEO

“My life has changed tremendously in a very short space of time. I like to think that I achieved such significant personal change by doing it myself, but realise that I was never alone in achieving all that I have. I am very sure that had I not taken the brave step to engage with her, I would still be bumbling along unaware of the true possibilities. I cannot recommend her highly enough and thank her for all she has helped facilitate for me, my life and my happiness.” - SVP

“Pamela is a master of her craft. She possesses a unique gift in being able to simplify the chaos of a busy executive’s life and pinpoint the most meaningful growth opportunities. Her guidance on how to maximize those opportunities for the highest possible outcomes has been invaluable.” - SVP
