the guide
I'm a certified life and leadership coach, GiANT Worldwide 100X Leader, and 5 Voices practitioner — with five years of professional coaching and more than a decade of experience sitting with people through the most significant moments of their lives.
Before coaching full-time, I spent years in ministry-based leadership — working specifically with young people on identity, purpose, and the kind of questions that don't have tidy answers. That work shaped everything about how I show up in a coaching conversation: the patience, the willingness to stay in the uncomfortable parts, and the conviction that people are far more capable than they've been told.
I tried a lot of different ways of helping people before landing on coaching. What settled it for me was this: people own the change when they find it themselves. Advice tells you what to do. Coaching helps you discover what you already know — and trust it.
That's what lil' bird is built on. Not a system to follow. Not someone else's script. A real conversation — between who you are right now and who you're becoming — with someone in your corner who's actually paying attention.
My clients are typically in the middle of something — a career shift, a relationship transition, a quiet identity crisis that's hard to name out loud. They're not broken. They're at a crossroads. And they've usually been trying to figure it out alone for longer than they should have.
Every person's journey looks different. But here's what people consistently say shifts — often in ways they weren't expecting going in.
I'm not here to give you answers. I'm here to help you find yours — and to hold the space steady while you do. The best coaching works because the person doing it owns every move they make. I'm not the expert on your life. You are. My job is to ask the question you haven't been able to ask yourself, and to stay in the room when the answer gets uncomfortable.
I bring the relational intelligence work from GiANT Worldwide and 5 Voices into every engagement — not as a script, but as a lens. They help us understand how you're wired, how you lead yourself, and what's actually driving the patterns you're in. Combined with the Inner Compass assessment, we usually get to something real, quickly.
This isn't therapy. It isn't advice. It's a conversation that goes somewhere — because both people in it mean it.
Most people who book don't have it figured out yet. That's the whole point. Start with a First Flight — one session, no commitment beyond the conversation.
