What it’s all about:

Throughout my career as a creative person and a creative professional I have collaborated with artists, designers, architects, furniture makers, business owners, and team leaders. The exchange between us is where I get the most joy. I like to say that my entire career has been built upon bringing other people’s vision forward into reality. As a maker and fabricator of some pretty amazing stuff for the last 20+ years I have learned that it’s the human interactions that matter the most. Now as a teacher and a high performance coach the goal is the same…help people bring their vision of themselves to life. The process is the same. It’s as if I have been studying for this role my entire life and now I get to show up for all of you who want to evolve, grow and reach your highest potential of who you can become.

I am obsessed with cultivating and shaping the mindsets, motivations and dreams of curious people who want to experience more of what life has to offer when they put effort into achieving their goals and dreams. I believe that the quality of our experiences enhance our overall quality of life, and that new and challenging experiences help us to be more equipped to face our life’s challenges with confidence. I am also a firm believer in the concept of learning by taking action and doing the work that is necessary to grow into better versions of ourselves.

There are so many things throughout the making and coaching process to take away — learning a new skill, opening the mind up to new perspectives, building something amazing that you never thought you could create, or simply having fun getting better at being you! Throughout any growth process we can find a variety of lessons that teach us a little about ourselves and how we relate to the world. And when we get the chance to take something tangible away from that experience we are reminded of what we are capable of and maybe we find a way to appreciate a little bit more of what we have to offer to others as our contribution to the world.

That said, WorkWorkshop isn’t just about making things or self help tactics…It’s about making us better people and experiencing every moment as preparation for what’s next by becoming more capable versions of ourselves and more prepared to take on life’s challenges. I want you to show up with curiosity so you get to explore what is possible for you—besides, where’s the fun in knowing exactly what’s going to happen next? There are so many studies in psychology and neuroscience that show new experiences and challenges light up the brain and fuel the body. Cultivating courage, mental flexibility, creative problem solving, moving through the fear of the unknown, and overcoming failure are all parts of the creative process that we can take with us in addition to the cool stuff we get to do here at WorkWorkshop.

As a teacher, I take pride in keeping my work space organized, clean, and safe so that you can pay attention to what’s going on right in front of you and enjoy the experience of working with me in my creative space. As a coach I am committed to being organized, prepared, professional and 100% showing up for you!

Beyond the experience of being in a workshop with all the tools and toys to play with and make stuff with, or the insights and openings we get through working together in a coaching program is the joy and satisfaction that comes from actually stepping forward and DOING THE WORK! That’s why I call it WorkWorkshop. The real good stuff is in learning through doing. This kind of work forces you to address what is real in the moment. The ideas is, that if you can be aware and present when you are experiencing something new here at the WorkWorkshop, then you will be that much more equipped to navigate challenges when something pops up “the real world”.

Lastly, I am not here to train you to be experts. I am here to inspire you to build a vision for your future. One where you are able to explore and become more curious, more creative, more capable and more aware of what you can do when you have the courage to try new things. Realizing that we are all connected and we all have unique gifts to share empowers us to be intentional about our impact on the people we share our lives with and on our surroundings through the process…So let’s make that journey fun!
