Meet April
It’s never too late to follow new paths, improve your performance as a human, and get in touch with your greatness.
I work with individuals and organizations who are ready to get more out of their professional career and life, willing to broaden their thinking patterns, and prepared to do the necessary — and often difficult — work to embrace change and level up their performance.
I came to coaching after a highly successful 25-year career as an Executive Director, and before that, as a Human Resources professional. These roles engendered strong leadership development skills and a deep knowledge of management and human behavior, while allowing me to hone my skills in both training and public speaking.
Sometimes disappointment leads us to a new path of thinking, creating success in ways previously unimagined.
After failing to land a position I’d interviewed for, an interview team member thought of me when a nonprofit Executive Director position became available. Taking a chance on this new opportunity, I happily landed in an environment providing the opportunity to impact underserved youth on a large scale. While the work was demanding and challenging, it was also gratifying and rewarding.
Through this work, I cultivated my passion for coaching others to work through personal challenges hampering their ability to shine — whether they be home or educational circumstances, imposter syndrome, limited self-beliefs, or the unwelcome appearance of one’s harsh Inner Critic. Having overcome these very challenges myself, I understand the potential for lifelong negative impact, keeping us from achieving our best. More importantly, I understand the work and approach necessary to succeed in these efforts.
When I’m not helping others pursue personal growth and improvement, you can find me enjoying a beautiful afternoon on the golf course, planning travel adventures to new locales, or nurturing our home landscaping to get in touch with its greatness.
There is no specific individual or behavior profile for excellence.
I believe greatness can be accomplished through a combination of willingness, courage, and practice. My goal is partnering with others to accomplish this, on their own terms. I’m ready to meet you where you are now, and help you get to where you want to be in the future.
“I see a direct positive impact in my day-to-day work. The techniques, strategies, and their application improve my contributions as a leader.”
