Why Choose Do Better Executive Coaching?
Choosing Do Better means choosing coaching rooted in lived experience. I’ve been the first in the chair and also stepped into seats where the expectations were high and the path was unclear. My coaching isn’t about generic advice, it’s about helping you hone your strategy, refine your leadership approach, and step into your role with purpose. Together, we’ll focus on the real challenges of leadership moving culture, navigating transitions, building teams, and leading with equity, so you can create impact that lasts.
THE FIRST CHAIR: LEADING WITHOUT A BLUEPRINT.
Stepping into a new leadership role whether it’s an inaugural position or simply your next seat at the table can feel both exciting and isolating. I know this firsthand. As the first Dean of Equity and the first Chief Equity Programs Officer, I had to build vision and strategy with no manual, no blueprint, and no one to show me the way.
My executive coaching is designed for leaders stepping into roles where expectations are high but support is thin. Together, we’ll focus on what it takes to step into your power, design strategy from the ground up, and set the tone for how others experience your leadership from day one.
Together we’ll break through the gaslighting and doubt by calling workplace harm what it is.
Together we’ll create strategies to preserve your energy, spirit, and health while navigating harmful environments.
Together we’ll weigh the pros and cons of speaking up, reporting, seeking recourse, or making a move.
Together we’ll strengthen the tools, language, and confidence you need to take action, whether that’s advocating within your organization or choosing to walk away..
Why Choose Do Better Executive Coaching?
Choosing Do Better means working with a coach who understands that harm at work isn’t just professional, it’s personal. My coaching isn’t about minimizing what you’ve experienced or telling you to just “push through.” It’s about giving you a safe space to process, strategies to protect yourself, and support to take your next step with strength and intention.
NAVIGATING WORKPLACE HARM: NAMING WHAT'S REAL, CHOOSING WHAT IS NEXT.
For many women of color leaders, the workplace can be both a place of accomplishment and a source of harm. Racism, sexism, microaggressions, and retaliation often show up in ways that leave you questioning yourself: Did that really happen? Should I say something? Who can I even trust with this?
I know the toll this takes, the isolation, the self-doubt, the pressure to carry it in silence while still performing at a high level. Too often, leaders are told to push through or stay quiet, even when the harm is undeniable.
My executive coaching is designed to give you a trusted space to process what’s happening, protect your well-being, and decide what comes next. Together, we’ll sort through your options, whether that means standing up, seeking recourse, or preparing for a transition, so you can move forward on your own terms.
What We’ll Work On:
Building equity strategy that goes beyond statements into daily practice, woven into every corner of the organization.
Understanding where pushback comes from and using tools to engage, influence, and shift culture, even in tough environments.
Identifying allies, building partnerships, and sustaining momentum when fatigue or doubt sets in.
Protecting your energy and spirit while leading one of the most demanding and necessary calls to action.
Why Choose Do Better Executive Coaching?
Choosing Do Better means working with someone who has been the first in the chair and knows what it takes to keep equity work alive in resistant or skeptical spaces. My coaching blends lived experience with practical strategy, helping you design approaches that are measurable, sustainable, and values-driven. Together, we’ll take on the realities of equity leadership and build strategies that create meaningful, lasting change.
LEADING EQUITY WORK: MOVING CULTURE, SHIFTING SYSTEMS.
Leading equity work is one of the heaviest assignments a leader can carry. The stakes are high because there have been so many starts and stops, staff are fatigued, resistance is real, and skepticism runs deep. I know this weight firsthand. As the first Dean of Equity and later as a Chief Equity Programs Officer, I built equity-centered programs from scratch across universities, community colleges, and charter schools.
My executive coaching is designed for leaders who are charged with advancing equity in environments where support is thin and expectations are heavy. Together, we’ll design a strategy that is practical, sustainable, and true to your values, so you can move culture, influence systems, and drive equity with courage and impact that lasts.
Recognizing the unique strengths, ambitions, and needs each team member brings, and how they connect to the whole.
Addressing conflict, division, or misalignment in ways that rebuild confidence and connection.
Creating shared purpose so team members can see how their work fits together and contributes to the bigger picture
Keeping your team steady and cohesive during transitions, restructures, or times of uncertainty.
Why Choose Do Better Executive Coaching?
Choosing Do Better means learning from someone who has led teams of all sizes through moments of calm and crisis. My coaching isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about helping you see the people behind the work and lead them in ways that build trust, cohesion, and results. Together, we’ll focus on the art of leading people — so your team not only functions but thrives in service of your mission.
THE ART OF LEADING PEOPLE: CREATING COHESION THAT LASTS.
The hardest part of leadership isn’t always the strategy, it’s the people. Every person on your team carries a piece of the puzzle: their strengths, perspectives, and ambitions. When those pieces fit together, teams can do incredible work. But when conflict, division, or disconnection creep in, the pieces stop fitting, and the mission gets lost.
I know this challenge firsthand. I’ve led teams through restructures, inherited teams in crisis, and built new ones from the ground up. I’ve seen what happens when people aren’t aligned and I’ve learned what it takes to bring them back together.
My executive coaching is designed for leaders who want to strengthen team cohesion without losing sight of well-being or the bigger mission. Together, we’ll focus on how to bring the puzzle pieces back into alignment so your team can move with trust, clarity, and purpose.
We’ll focus on how to motivate and support individuals so they feel valued, capable, and invested in the team’s success.
Trust is the foundation of every strong team. You’ll learn how to build it intentionally through consistency, transparency, and authentic leadership.
Conflict is unavoidable, but it doesn’t have to derail progress. Together, we’ll develop strategies to address issues head-on with clarity and fairness, turning challenges into opportunities for growth.
Your team’s culture drives results. We’ll work on shaping an environment that prioritizes collaboration, accountability, and shared purpose, so the work gets done and the impact is felt.
Why Choose Do Better Executive Coaching?
I’ve built and rebuilt teams across universities, community colleges, and a large charter school system.

BUILDING STRONG TEAMS: EMPOWERING PEOPLE, CULTIVATING TEAMS.
Strong teams don’t just happen, they’re built with intention. As a leader, you’re responsible not only for outcomes but also for creating a culture where your people can do their best work.
