HEY, I’M ABBIE.
I’ve been working with high-performing teams across multiple contexts for over 15 years. That experience led me to grad school, where I studied applied positive psychology and the characteristics of high-performing teams, and then to becoming a certified coach. My work supports a variety of areas, including trust, psychological safety, communication, conflict management, and body language. My career has been fueled by helping support the growth and success of competitive and effective teams, and I’d love the chance to work with yours.
FAQs

Coaching is a process and relationship that is motivated by change, grounded in action, and driven by exploration. Coaches ask thought-provoking questions that help you build awareness, perspective, and understanding, and then work with you to design a plan of action rooted in the insights you gain. Goal-setting and goal-pursuit are critical parts of coaching, both because they help you move through a challenge and because they help illuminate other important growth areas along the way.
-
Team coaching focuses on the dynamics and relationships between and among members of the same team. While it does address how individuals can impact change to these dynamics, it is not necessarily grounded in addressing the challenges posed to and by individuals because of them.
-
Team coaching is for members of the same team, and the coaching focus is on the team level - the culture, dynamics, roles, and communications between and among members. Group coaching, however, is for individuals who aren’t connected other than by sharing a focus topic or theme, and learning happens on the individual level.

My work supports a variety of both professional and personal growth for individuals and teams, including confidence, presence, and leadership skills throughout several stages of life, from the transition into the workforce to leading a team for the first time. A client may want to work through a leadership challenge, build conflict resolution skills with a peer, or discuss parenting strategies. I’m here for it all.

Everyone has different criteria for what they want in a coach, but it’s important to note that a good coach for you is one with whom you connect. Trust and safety are critical in a coaching relationship, so you should feel like you can have honest conversations and like your coach will both support you and push you throughout the process.
It’s also important to note that a good coach may not necessarily have a background similar to yours - that’s okay. This isn’t critical for building perspective or expanding thinking. If you sense it is important to you, you may think about getting a mentor or advisor instead.
-
I typically coach young professionals - individuals and teams - in high-intensity corporate careers, from the internship phase (sophomore summer) through the first few years of leading a team for the first time. If you don’t fit this profile, it doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t be a good coach for you - the methodology I was trained in is applicable to many demographics. Reach out anyway, and if I’m not the best fit, I can help find someone who is.

Coaching engagements can be structured in a variety of ways - number of sessions, number of months, or total duration. I tend to offer 6- and 10-session packages with 2- and 4-session extensions but can adjust to whatever my client needs.
-
I meet with clients at any cadence from twice a week to once a month. The frequency of meetings depends on the client’s needs and the duration of the engagement, and it’s always a balance of maintaining momentum while allowing time for the practical work that happens outside our sessions to be done. Sessions last between one and two hours, with team sessions tending toward being two hours. Clients may have sessions of varying frequencies and durations within their engagement.
