How does it work?

Coaching is a collaborative process that seeks to help people understand their vision and values by creating awareness, evoking action, alignment and accountability, resulting in increased efficacy and fulfillment. While there are specific coaching processes, there is no "one size fits all" model. Each individual is unique, and coaching provides individualized support.

My Why

Welcome to my professional journey!

Throughout my career, I've embraced the mantra of treating others with respect and kindness, fostering environment where we lift each other up. Teaching, mentoring, and coaching my colleagues has been integral to my work ethic. I believe that the strength of those around me directly influences my own success. This approach, often referred to as Servant Leadership, emphasizes collaboration and the pursuit of excellence together.

The pandemic unlocked my desire to help people. I had achieved all I could in the accounting industry. Now, I am focused on the most fulfilling part of my role- helping people to develop and move toward their goals.

Why Mosaic Soup?

The name "Mosaic Soup" evokes a rich tapestry of images.

Firstly, it reflects my diverse interests, as both terms suggest blending various elements into a cohesive whole. I am captivated by mosaics- how small pieces fit to form a larger picture. Sometimes, they even contain smaller images within them. Much like an Impressionist painting, your perspective changes what you see.

For those who know me, I have a passion for creating and cooking. These two words perfectly encapsulate my love for connecting different components to create something wonderful!

RESPECT Framework

Approach your role with authenticity, resourcefulness and accountability

Through my experiences, I’ve created the RESPECT framework. It will guide you toward aligning your vision and actions. It comes from a proven 35 -year track record in the business world with a few more years of life experience added.

What is RESPECT?

It is a framework for success in life and work. This framework will allow you to be authentic and fulfilled while navigating your career and life and assist you in becoming a true leader, not just a manager or boss. Not everyone is in charge, but everyone can be a leader!

Fundamentally, it is putting the Golden Rule into practice.

Why RESPECT?

How do you show up? Are you a collaborator? Do you bring out the best in your colleagues? In your friends and family?

Coupled with resourcefulness, connectedness and accountability, you can use this framework to unlock your potential while remaining true to yourself and enjoying the present moment!
