My Approach

We use a strengths-based approach so you build capacity and trust your voice.

I listen with deep empathy, ask incisive questions, and respectfully push your thinking.

As a result, you gain insight, confidence, and clarity.

I learn and grow by noticing what of my feedback you do or don’t take.

In any client/coach or author/editor relationship, power dynamics are at play.

I will attend to those dynamics in our relationship, and invite you to do the same.

YOU are the author.

YOU are in charge.

YOU choose to take or leave my suggestions.

I work on how my social identities (as a white, upper-middle class, cisgender,

able- bodied, middle-aged, Jewish female with a doctorate degree) influence my

worldview and biases.

I welcome dialogue about how our social identities shape our collaboration and invite you to give me feedback on the impact of my actions.

I continue to learn how to mitigate bias in coaching and editing.

I draw on specific resources:

I love being introduced to additional thought leaders or resources that push my awareness, craft, and capacity to support you.
