I believe in failure. Failure is a constant. Failure is the jumping off point for true growth and improvement. In every endeavor, we have countless opportunities to fail and in turn grow. Failure does not have to be fatal. I love coaching people to believe that failure can be a catalyst for growth. In the spring of 2004, I boldly informed a teacher of my goals for higher education and a career. I was met with what could have been a drive demolishing response, "What makes you think you can get in there?" My response, "I belong there." In March of '06 I received my appointment package and in June of the same year, I reported to the United States Naval Academy. Fast forward to present day and the hard truth. I have failed. Some of these failures have entirely altered the course of my life. I have failed time and time again and I am so blessed that I have, because every time I failed, I learned, I improved, and I became better in all facets of my life. In August of 2019, I left my career as a Naval Officer, a career I loved, because I felt called to pursue other avenues. My inspiring and supportive wife questioned my plan, but never my motives. I wish we had questioned my plan more, as it was wrought with peril. We had plans to start a family and I could not see myself missing a minute of that new adventure. It took me over six months find a job. I felt like I was running from the looming dark cloud, that I had created for myself. The hardest part being, I had prided myself on being a source of light for my people. I love, absolutely love, standing in solidarity with someone experiencing their own dark time. It was important to me to look them in the eye and say, "You can do this, You are strong, You are capable, and I am with you." Yet I could not do the same for myself. What if everything I had said to empower others was hollow and baseless. Was I just talking the talk? NO! I was designed to help others and dang it I am going to do it. On 2 December 2019, I began my employment with a Veteran Service Non-Profit, was quickly promoted to Executive Director, and in the spring of 2020 found myself frantically seeking new employment. Forecasting the next chapter, I want to devote my life to helping people realize their goals, visualize their success, and construct the road map that will get them there. I believe this process can begin early as young adults need to know that it is okay to have goals, fall short, adjust their plans and rise again. I do not have a magic formula, because one DOES NOT exist, but I do have the ability to meet people where they are not where the world tells them they should be. I tell my story without reservation or shame, and I do it with motivation and happiness, leaving people excited and feeling like they have an advocate.

My life started many decades ago in Switzerland. I was born and raised in Zurich. I didn’t have a master plan for my life. But deep down I longed for a connection that would last a lifetime like everybody else. I thought it would never happen and then I met my husband. My husband is American. We met during his vacation in Switzerland at my sister’s place who was married to his friend. The first thing that captivated me was his big smile. I am a sucker for a great smile. The rest is history. Our long-distance dating was challenging, to say the least. My English was lousy and his German non-existent. But we managed and in 1995 we got married in California (yes, my English improved, lol) and settled near San Francisco. We have been together ever since. Our marriage was not an easy ride. Cultural differences, financial problems, and more. You name it and it happened to us. We made it work because we are still together. Since 2013 we both have been working from home, which is difficult for many couples. We are so used to it that it feels weird when one is not around. It took us many years to get there. Trial and error marked our journey. We learned to communicate more productively. Forgiveness, empathy, and most of all becoming a good listener was key to creating a happy, healthy, loving relationship. Everything I teach and coach I have applied to my own life. I know what is required to get where I am now, and I can show you how too! I little bit about my professional experience: I am a trained life master coach and spent many years mentoring and guiding women who share their life with an addict. With my help, they learned how to cope with this tough situation. I love working with women, but I realized that making a marriage/relationship better needs the participation of both partners. Otherwise, I might teach a woman how to cope with her situation, but the marriage problem does not get solved that way. Picture two trapeze artists who must rely on each other 100% during their act. If only one knows how to catch and release at the right time … I think you can imagine what happens. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and dog, and yes, exercising to stay fit. I love reading, Italian food, and hanging out with friends.
