After joining the coaching industry in 2002, I was twice-elected President of the ICF-NYC Chapter, and taught and/or designed many courses at New York University, including teaching coaching at NYU’s Master's Degree level.

As the first Life / Career Coach to be featured at the Smithsonian Institution, I have been a pioneering voice for tapping the power of imagery, imagination, intuition, and emotion in coaching—and have helped raise the public’s awareness of coaching as the creator/host of “Life Coach TV” (a primetime show on Manhattan Cable TV) and “Life Coach Radio.”

By 2008, I became a Master Certified Coach (MCC), continued to serve as an ICF Credentialing Portfolio Assessor, and founded an online coaching school, Goal Imagery® Institute (renamed Goal Imagery® Coaching Academy in 2024).

My Holistic Life, Career & Executive Coach Training™ program is currently taught online in 6 different languages around the world.

My mission was—and remains—to offer truly holistic, comprehensive, and affordable coach training—to help my students become a coach that people want to hire.

I'm proud to say my school was cited as one of the top coaching programs by Positive Psychology Magazine (online) and possibly is the only school that offers every single credential that ICF has to offer (All three Levels and ACTC course for Advanced Certified Team Coach credential), taught by 2 MCC's/ICF Assessors.

With 3000+ of our alumni, we continue to grow and support each other.
