Hi, I’m Tracy |

I help high-impact leaders step into the biggest roles of their careers with clarity, presence, and guts.

LEADERSHIP RESET MEDITATION

This Leadership Reset Meditation is a 10-minute guided practice used by senior leaders navigating visibility, pressure, and rapid growth. It helps you drop the noise, reconnect to your own leadership instincts, and walk into any room trusting yourself and owning your authority.

CLIENTS

So you made it this far, but now what?

You've earned your way here. You adapted. You delivered. You built something meaningful.
But the rules that got you here aren't the ones that will take you forward. What's next isn't about shrinking into someone else's idea of leadership or working harder to prove your worth. You're done playing that game.

This next chapter is about clarity, presence, and authority that's authentically your own. The kind of leadership that lets you:

❖ Stay centered when the stakes are highest

❖ Speak up without over explaining

❖ Lead from your own center of gravity

❖ Move with confidence through uncertainty

❖ Let your presence speak before you do

The next version of you isn't someone else. She's more of you without the armor, without the performance, without shrinking to fit. She's ready when you are.

YOU’VE OUTGROWN THE OLD PLAYBOOK. LET’S WRITE THE NEXT ONE.

  • “Before I had a baby, my career was my whole life. Once my daughter was born and I returned to work, I realized I needed a new way of working. I sought out a coach to help me with that big transition and found Tracy. Tracy has helped me with so much more than just navigating my new work life. She's guided me through a big promotion and my first time in the C-suite, helped me find my voice as a leader in my organization, and led me to find more time for joy in my day to day life. Her advice is both strategic and tactical and she's given me so many tools that I use on a daily basis.”

As a facilitator in our team sessions, she equipped us with the tools and conversational frameworks to process our issues effectively and productively move forward. Hearing our team use the language and tools Tracy gave on a daily basis is the surest sign of the positive impact she's had on our team!”
