We are one-third of the way through 2018 and it’s a great time to check back in with the goals and intentions you set for the year.

I accomplished a lot in 2017 but I wanted more for 2018.

I have some serious growth goals.

I also know I can’t do it alone.

I thought I could. I really did.

In fact, I was dead set on NOT hiring another coach or mentor in 2018 because I had invested a lot of time and money in both in 2017.

But right around Christmas, something changed for me.

I had an “aha” moment.

I realized I was making things really difficult for myself by trying to figure everything out and learn on my own.

This fierce independence was actually slowing me down.

It was also exhausting.

That’s why on December 28 I decided to pull the trigger and invest in myself. Again.

I made a big financial commitment to continue working with my coach and I couldn’t be more excited.

You know how sometimes you spend a large amount of money and you immediately have that pit in your stomach because you aren’t sure if it was a good idea?

Well I had the exact opposite feeling when I handed my credit card over in late December.

It felt so right.

And that’s because I know what I want.

I want to help women unlock their talents, build their confidence, and identify and get what they want.

And I know that this extra support is going to help me do that – better and faster.

I talk to women all the time who have the same doubts that I had about investing in themselves.

  • Will it really make a difference?
  • Will it really change anything?
  • Will I really walk away with more clarity, purpose and satisfaction?

I tell them that it depends.

It depends on how badly you want to change.

It depends on how willing you are to invest the time, money and energy into your own growth and transformation.

It depends on whether you can put aside the guilt, shame and anxiety you may feel once you decide you’re actually worth the investment.

I feel so strongly about supporting women in getting what they want in their careers that I want to make this an easy decision for you.

Book a complimentary 1:1 consult to see if working with me is a good fit for you.

I’m so excited for what the rest of 2018 holds and can’t wait to share it with you.

    Principal and Founder, Mosaic Growth Partners

    My 20 years of consulting and coaching experience has afforded me an inside look at how different organizations operate and what it takes to succeed. I spent the majority of my career as a healthcare strategy and change management consultant, serving federal, commercial and non-profit clients and mentoring emerging companies. I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of companies in the digital health and life sciences industry, supporting projects on consumer and patient engagement; telehealth; health and wellness; caregiving and independent living; and innovations in gene therapy, medical devices, rare disease drug development and AI-driven digital therapeutics and diagnostics. In 2015, I founded Mosaic Growth Partners, a consulting and coaching firm based in Washington, D.C., to help my clients develop new solutions for growth. I support clients in the digital health and life sciences industry with strategic and operational planning, commercializing new products and services, and workshop facilitation. I also coach professional women to take control of their careers and build professional lives that are congruent with their personal aspirations and natural talents. For professional women, I offer digital, group and 1:1 executive coaching programs. Prior to founding Mosaic Growth Partners, I led AARP Services' business development efforts in health and caregiving. At AARP, I was responsible for securing strategic partnerships, developing new business models and serving as an innovation champion. In this role, I built deep market knowledge and a strong industry network by working with hundreds of emerging and established companies. I also spent nearly 10 years as a management consultant, primarily with Deloitte Consulting, where I led strategy, human capital and technology engagements for federal health clients and the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions. I also led sales and capture strategy, teaming, strategic business development and client excellence for the Department of Defense Military Health System account. I'm a Project Management Professional and a certified Agile Scrum Master. I graduated with a Master of Public Policy from American University and a B.A. in Political Science with High Honors from the University of Michigan.
