Surf Life Executive Coaching TM

|
Surf Life Executive Coaching is my coaching practice dedicated to supporting leaders, aspiring leaders and their teams to have more clarity, confidence and calmness in their businesses and lives. I integrate all parts of my quirky, artistic self in my coaching - even at times bringing clients into the surf with me, exposing them to the personal leadership lessons only mother ocean can deliver! On average, my clients are three times more likely to meet their business and transition goals and twice as likely to meet their personal fulfillment goals.

The Grand Café
|
The Grand Café is an educational soap opera, or "telenovela," created to teach immigrant women with limited English skills how to start their own businesses.
I served as the creator and Executive Producer for the series from 2002 - 2011. In 2022, I began the process to revive and distribute the series to reach its intended audience. It was co-produced under C.E.O. Women, the non-profit I founded alongside with The Media Factory and Angelica Matsuno. Below are the trailers from the series. |
C.E.O. Women
|
Creating Economic Opportunities for Women (C.E.O. Women) was a non-profit organization I founded and ran from 2000 - 2011, to address systemic poverty and lack of income mobility faced by low-income immigrant and refugee women in the San Francisco Bay Area. The mission of C.E.O. Women was to create economic opportunities for low-income immigrant and refugee women through teaching English, communications and entrepreneurship skills.
Upon winding down C.E.O. Women, we open-sourced some of our assets, including our entrepreneurship curriculum. It is available here. |
What Inspires Me
|
I am deeply inspired and influenced by the arts, sports and dance. I went from being a member of the U.S. National Karate Team in my teens to a dancer of North Indian Kathak which I studied for 14 years. I also study Tahitian Ori (dance). I love using my body and movement to keep me balanced and able to manage stress.
I love to surf. I have found much happiness and empowerment in this sport via my connection to the ocean. It has also taught me a great deal in terms of how to manage my fears, and what flow means. I also LOVE to travel to surf and explore new cultures. I believe anything is possible, and strive to help my clients discover their possibility in their businesses and in their lives! |
