Philosophy
Reflect. Identify. Align.
Crafting the right mindset & devising the plan to achieve it.
Whether in 1:1 coaching, team development, or consulting, we reflect on your experiences, identify key moments or patterns of behavior, and align your choices, habits, goals, and expectations with your values and aspirations.
My style of coaching is based on cognitive behavioral coaching and solution-focused outcomes. Throughout the engagement, I support and challenge you through conversation, education, and tailored practices. You will set clear goals based on what you want to achieve personally and professionally. Each goal is structured with measurable outcomes to track progress and promote accountability.
My style of consulting is grounded in the belief that sustainable success stems from aligning your organization’s cultural identity with your strategic aspirations—and equipping you to navigate with clarity, courage, and compassion. I partner with you to bridge the gap between current culture and future vision. Through cultural assessments, thematic analysis, and leadership diagnostics, I help your organization uncover the invisible dynamics that shape behavior, decision-making, and performance.

SMARTER COLLABORATION ACCELERATOR
The Smarter Collaboration Accelerator is designed to help individual team members assess their tendencies while working and how well they collaborate with others. The result? A common language for your team to use when working together that is rooted in actual behavior, rather than intent. With this awareness, teammates are equipped to make more intentional choices about the ways they individually support the team. Denise uses this tool to promote accountability among teammates and drive measurable change. Denise has been an accredited Smarter Collaboration Accelerator administrator since 2022.

HOGAN ASSESSMENT
The Hogan Assessment can be extremely useful with the individual coaching process. This tool measures “reputation” vs. “identity.” Identity is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves—it is the person we think we are. We often have an inflated idea of our own talent or we might be unnecessarily hard on ourselves. “Reputation,” on the other hand, is what everyone else thinks of us. It is based on our overt behaviors and social skills. Reputation is the person other people think we are, and our success in the workplace is dependent on our reputation. Denise has been certified in the Hogan Assessment since 2020.

Denise shows you how to observe and measure your firm's culture and how to use health data to understand your organization’s overall health.
