Meet Your Coach
Hey there, I’m Whitney —
I’m a resilience speaker, Enneagram practitioner, communication professor and leadership coach with a deep passion for helping individuals and teams thrive.
With over a decade of experience as a professional educator, my journey began in higher education, where I led health and wellness programs and mentored emerging leaders.
Along the way, I discovered my true passion: being a guide for others on their path to growth and self-discovery.
The moments of meaningful mentorship inspired me to pursue speaking and coaching. I’ve always found joy in helping people identify and understand their professional strengths— now, I’m fortunate enough to tap into that passion every day. I support leaders in developing the skills they need to boost confidence, increase energy levels, and communicate with greater clarity.
My work centers around increasing self-mastery using tools like the Resilience Battery and the Enneagram, a powerful framework to foster better communication, build stronger connections, and achieve meaningful goals.
In all of my coaching sessions, I create space for my clients to slow down, hear themselves, and connect with their true selves. In a world that constantly demands more hustle, this pause for reflection is essential to building resilience, strengthening relationships, and advancing results.
I’d love to connect and see how we can work together to help you or your team unlock your full potential.
You’ll enjoy working with me—and here’s why:
You can count on me to…
Create a positive, welcoming space where you feel heard and supported.
Listen deeply to your professional goals with intention and focus.
Facilitate meaningful connections that help you solve problems and unlock opportunities.
Foster a growth-driven atmosphere where you feel encouraged to thrive.
Provide structure and clarity, ensuring action and measurable progress.

Be open to growth and transformation, even when it feels challenging.
Engage actively in our sessions to make the most of your coaching experience.

Recognize that there are no quick fixes—real change takes time and effort.
Embrace skills that foster resilience, helping you stay strong in the face of adversity.
Why We’re Talking About Resilience
A resilient leader can bounce back from adversity with emotional strength and flexibility.
Did you know that by nurturing your resilience, you can stay energized, manage stress, and even prevent burnout? In all of my coaching and professional development services, I focus on how building resilience helps you stay focused, perform at your best, and thrive—no matter what life or work throws your way.

Team Development
Teams do their best work when individuals feel seen, heard, and valued. I use the Enneagram to provide the tools your team needs to communicate clearly and conflict productively.

Enneagram Assessment
The Enneagram is a highly effective self-awareness tool and sense-making framework for enhanced empathy, communication, conflict resolution, and team dynamics. I provide both team and individual assessments and coaching, helping each participant interpret their results to uncover individual strengths and growth opportunities, fostering deeper collaboration, and more effective teamwork.
