“People don’t always need more advice. They need to hear meaningful questions, listen to a different perspective and trust someone who will tell them the truth, with empathy.”
— Michele Lewis Reeves
The Coach is IN.
For more than three decades, leaders have come to me with their toughest challenges, their biggest decisions, and their greatest opportunities.
My role as a coach is simple yet powerful: help you see what you cannot yet see - so you can lead with clarity, confidence and impact.
ABOUT ME.
I am an executive coach, organizational development practitioner, and leadership advisor known for helping senior leaders navigate leadership, culture, and change with clarity, courage, and practical action.
As founder and principal of Grow by Design Coaching & Consulting, I partner with executives and organizations to strengthen self-awareness, executive presence, stakeholder impact, and people-centered strategies that help leaders and teams move forward with purpose.
I bring more than 30 years of leadership, organizational development, and executive advisory experience across consulting, financial services, technology, healthcare, and mission-driven organizations. My career spans consultant through C-level roles, including leadership and coaching of multi-million-dollar business units inside organizations such as Presbyterian Healthcare Services, Raymond James, Bank of America, IBM, SAS, and the Covey Leadership Center.
I integrate behavioral science, organizational psychology, executive coaching, Hogan assessments, and practical OD tools to help leaders understand how they are experienced by others and choose more intentional ways to lead. Clients describe my coaching, facilitation, and consulting engagements as strategic, inspirational, and thoughtfully tailored.
