Hello, I'm Estée
Leadership Coach and Holistic Talent Strategist
I create calm and centered environments to engage and facilitate your best thinking. My approachable, thoughtful, down-to-earth, and refreshingly unpretentious style allows for the relaxed yet challenging conversations that lead to meaningful motion.
A little about me: I am an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC), holistic talent strategist, people relations practitioner, optimizer, and career mentor. I'm also a highly trained dancer and performer.
I've spent much of my career developing and implementing strategies that help individuals get clear on expectations, navigate their thoughts, find perspectives and framing, and re-ground in gravity to perform at their best.
I specialize in performance and performance management, leadership, management development, career transitions, emerging leader, personal effectiveness, and fundamentals/values coaching. I've worked with professionals of across levels, fields, and industries to build core leadership muscles, optimize fundamentals, and mental fitness resulting in moving freely and flexibly with confidence.
With that, I have a particular interest in working with early career talent, new managers, and HR leaders step into the spotlight taking centerstage in their work and discover their innate capacity to move freely and advance in their careers. Beyond the workplace, I work with individuals who are curious and ready to explore and make those meaningful choices that matter.
Interested in working with me? Let's talk.
My approach
I realized how easy it is for my thoughts to be floating around in my head and to consume my day with thinking (by nature, I'm an overthinker). Case in point - I was wondering about ideas for my coaching practice and it all became clear to me while I was being peer-coached. Once I was able to ground myself in my values, things came into view, became sharp, clear, and I knew how I wanted to move forward.
To be grounded is:
- that feeling clients tell me they are looking for when they have thoughts floating around in their head, when life is happening to them, or just stuck
- finding your breath when you are feeling overwhelmed or drowning under the heaviness of your own thoughts
- that feeling when you understand yourself
- knowing what you want
- feeling centered and knowing your home-base
- acting from a place of clarity to make the best decision and forward progress
I believe by getting grounded in your own foundation and fundamentals - values, beliefs, self-awareness, space, curiosity, love - and you have the tools to make decisions, actions, and progress.
"Often I would go into our sessions with a whirlwind of thoughts, so she helped me sit with the uncomfortability through mindfulness activities. The sessions allowed me to turn my thoughts into a future I envisioned for myself."
