As a Coach

I truly enjoy working with people, creating space for change, facilitating shift moments, and getting my clients into action. Becoming a Coach was a beautiful evolution through several previous careers. The common thread with each of these stepping stones was one of creating receptive environments for others. Empowering opportunity and growth. I am a graduate of the Core Essentials Program with Coach U, accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF). I also hold an MFA from Eastern Michigan University. One definition of Coaching that is definitive for me — “Coaching is love in action, in a professional way.”

My Clients…..

My clients are people interested in developing into their best selves, creating more abundant lives. Together – we explore possibilities and take powerful new actions.

What I Love

As a fifth generation Michigander, I love the forests of northern Michigan and the Great Lakes shoreline. When I’m not off exploring, you can find me enjoying my community, at Espresso Royalle Cafe having coffee with friends, seeing a movie at the Michigan Theatre, cooking something delicious in my kitchen or working in my studio.

My true loves are my family, daughter Melina, son Brendan and his wife Amy. Five (adorable!) grandchildren. I’m married to Jim, and we, with our sweet dog Fox, live in a river north neighborhood in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I am the oldest of seven children, and love our big, noisy, frequent family reunions.

Family also includes many others, former students from around the world, who came to live with us, and became part of our family. From Ukraine, Tajikistan, Italy, Mexico, Russia, and New Zealand, it has been a deep pleasure to follow their growth and to see the good they have done in the world.

What is Coaching?

“Coaching is a catalyzing relationship that accelerates great performance. Through dynamic conversations,and through tools, exercises and my resources, clients find purposeful direction.

Coaching is a working partnership with my clients, in a thought-provoking and creative process. One that inspires you to maximize your personal and professional potential. This is particularly important in today’s uncertain and complex environment. As your Coach, I will honor you, the client, as the expert in your own life and work. I believe every client is creative, resourceful and whole. Standing on this foundation, my responsibility is to:

  • Discover, clarify, and align with what you want to achieve

This process will help you dramatically improve your outlook on work and life, while improving your leadership skills and unlock your potential.”

Hello from ‘Antarctica’

Have I been traveling? In a way, yes. I have been submerged in an exploratory laboratory taking samples and testing them out. Exploring new vistas. Am I really in Antarctica? No. I’m not even on a boat, or anything else. I have been doing all this from the place I call home, moving mostly from […]

Empathy and Compassion at Work

We’ve had many lively discussions, serious, and otherwise, my German friend and colleague and I. Especially in the last several months, as we have shared from our experiences in the global pandemic. What it means for our families, our business, our clients, our countries — the world. What questions are keeping us awake at night? What could we do to help?

Where is Your Power?

These days I am leaning into my Coaching Model, “Coaching is love in action in a professional way.” Feeling great love for my community. Holding both concern and amazement in my heart for all of you. Striving to remain open to possibilities of change for the good. Holding space for those suffering. On the lookout […]

Identity Word Play

Each name has its own special significance. McNeilly connects me to my Irish ancestors, Sis conjures up closeness and all the wild and wooly of siblings. I have a different identity with each of my names. I also have Secret …..

I was very critical, even mean. And then it wasn’t fun. I was wondering, do I just quit?

Sprint or Marathon? Some Tips for the Winding Road

When running a sprint, you need both an initial burst of power and sustained speed. You can blow out with everything you’ve got, and pour it on all the way. But if you try to do that with a marathon, you’ll burn up everything you have in the first hour and will be left without the juice to make it to the finish line.

So it is with life. More of a marathon than a sprint, right?
