I currently serve on the Marketing Committee for the International Coach Federation (ICF, www.coachfederation.org), and am an active volunteer for three fabulous non-profit organizations that support others in creating successful lives:  Washington CASH (www.washingtoncash.org for budding entrepreneurs), Washington Women’s Employment & Education (WWEE, www.wwee.org, for individuals seeking full-time employment), and Taproot (www.taprootfoundation.org, for those who want to share pro bono services).

My Passion Story

Throughout my life, I’ve been called to catalyze passions and possibilities in myself and others.  That is, to support folks to stop playing small and to start living very large.   However, I only recently made my leap fully into my calling as a business coach.  Previously,  I settled for more lucrative, “secure” positions in corporate America, with fancy titles and fat paychecks.  I did leave the corporate life in the ’90s to become a partner of a small high-tech startup in Tucson, AZ, and later in 2003 when I founded an interfaith church in Olympia, WA.   Although I loved my ministry, I struggled financially and also wanted to inspire individuals beyond spirituality.  So I returned to corporate America to work for a national bank, feeling challenged, but belated and dispassionate…hoping for some sign regarding my next leap.   After the bank went bankrupt, I finally realized that the security that I was seeking is really within me and not a j.o.b.

After completing extensive professional training and coaching hours, I founded Life Sparks Coaching (sm) in 2008 and PowerLeaps LLC (sm) in 2009.  My intention?  To support talented, bold individuals in leaping fully into their dreams, as they serve others.  I call them Passioneers (sm), and now I get to fulfill my dream of prospering at what I love – coaching others to thrive, as they serve others.  My background and experience allow me to understand my clients’ fears in making this leap.  My empathic, caring nature makes me a powerful coaching mentor.  I also can share solid business skills and experience, including an MBA, with clients who want to create and grow new ventures.

In early 2009, we launched The Passions and Possibilities Project (sm), where we are profiling individuals who have leaped fully into their dreams, aka Passioneers (sm), and are matching them up with individuals who have not yet made the leap.   I feature these Passioneer stories on our weekly Blog Talk Radio Show (www.blogtalkradio.com/passionsandpossibilities) and in our upcoming books and blog.  On an ongoing basis, I invite sponsorships to fund coaching for our clients who are facing life challenges, as they pursue their dreams.   We also contribute 10% of PowerLeaps LLC’s revenues to special philanthropic cause, of our client’s choice.
