Leadership Coaching
Welcome to Coaching for Firsts—Where Being the First is Your Superpower
If you're a First-Generation professional, you're not just breaking barriers—you’re building a legacy. But navigating the workplace without inherited guidance, insider knowledge, or a built-in network can feel overwhelming. That’s where I come in. I provide evidence-based, whole-person coaching for FirstGen professionals—and the managers who want to see them thrive.
Together, we’ll turn your unique experiences into strengths that drive your success and elevate your career.
Whether you're just starting out, stepping into leadership, or guiding a diverse team, you're in the right place.
In our coaching partnership, we focus on…
1. Overcoming the feeling of “otherness”—breaking through the sense of being overlooked or not fitting the established mold.
2. Decoding the unwritten rules of the workplace—so FirstGen professionals can confidently navigate professional environments.
3. Building unshakable confidence—to pursue promotions, visibility, and high-impact roles.
4. Creating powerful networks—even without inherited professional or alumni connections.
5. Turning authenticity into an asset—and leading with their full unique identity.
