Coaching
High Stakes Intensive
When the stakes are high, you don't have to figure it out alone.
For ambitious women facing one specific challenge that really matters to them. High Stakes gives you focused, unbiased coaching to help you think clearly, work through what's in the way, and move forward with confidence in your own judgment.
What happens in the intensive
Three sessions. One challenge. Real progress.
High Stakes is designed around one specific situation, decision, or challenge that matters to you. We start by getting clear on what's really happening and what you want to accomplish. Then we work directly on the challenge, whether that means practicing a difficult conversation, working through a decision, refining a presentation, or preparing for an important interview. Between sessions, you take the work into the real world. We use the final session to tighten your plan and make sure you're ready.
What you leave with
A clear goal and a focused plan for exactly what you want to accomplish.
Practical tools, strategies, and real-world practice to work through whatever is getting in your way.
The confidence, clarity, and self-trust to walk into the moment knowing, "I've got this."
Boeing 737 Captain and certified leadership coach with 30 years of experience navigating high-pressure environments where judgment, preparation, and trust matter.
How you'll feel when you're done
✦
Relief & Clarity
Feel lighter and clearer because you've slowed things down, created space to think, and know what you truly want.
✦
Grounded Self-Trust
Feel solid in yourself, knowing you've considered the situation thoughtfully and are making a choice that honors you and the situation.
✦
Confidence & Readiness
Feel proud, prepared, and even excited about what's ahead, knowing you've taken charge and can handle whatever comes your way.
When High Stakes is the right fit
The situation
You have something specific coming up. A presentation, an interview, a hard conversation, a decision with a deadline. It's close enough that you can't put off dealing with it any longer.
How it feels
You keep replaying it in your head. You've talked it through with friends, maybe even made a decision and then unmade it. You're not stuck because you lack the ability to figure it out. You're stuck because you're too close to it to see it clearly.
What's at stake
This isn't a small thing. Whatever happens next matters. It could affect your confidence, your next opportunity, or how you see yourself going forward. You want to get it right, not just get through it.
This isn't the right fit if you're looking for ongoing support rather than focused help with one specific challenge. The Realignment or The Private Experience may be a better fit.
How the intensive runs
Three sessions. One challenge. A clear way forward.

FAQs
-
Session one is 90 minutes, with two follow-up sessions at 60 minutes each. Everything is virtual, so location isn't a barrier. If you have something time-sensitive, reach out, and I'll do my best to fit you in quickly.
-
High Stakes is focused on one specific challenge and a defined outcome. The Realignment is a longer coaching experience for women who want to work on deeper patterns, self-trust, identity, and how they want to lead and live. If you need focused support right now, High Stakes may be the better fit.
-
High Stakes is for ambitious women facing one specific, high-stakes challenge, a major decision, a difficult conversation, a career-defining moment, a pivotal time, who want focused, unbiased support to navigate it clearly.
-
Yes, because they're built around one clear challenge, not open-ended coaching. You leave with a plan, real practice, and the clarity to move forward, not just a conversation about your situation.
-
Yes. Your coaching conversations are private and confidential. What you share stays between us, subject to the normal legal and professional limits of confidentiality. High Stakes is your space to think honestly and work through what matters to you.
-
It doesn't have to. High Stakes gives us a focused structure and enough time to make real progress on one important challenge, but it does ask something of you: showing up open, coachable, and willing to do the work in between sessions. That's where the real change happens. If you want more support afterward, we can decide together what makes sense.
You don't have to figure it out alone.
Bring me the thing that's taking up space in your head. We'll peel back what's underneath it, question the beliefs and assumptions getting in your way, and make room for what you actually know, want, and are capable of.
Sometimes the answer isn't something you need to find. It's something you need to uncover.
