I'm Coach Minda, certified professional coach 

I love to help procrastinators, perfectionists, self-doubters and decision-dodgers experience quick wins, work through roadblocks and stay motivated. 

​My focus is helping you gain fresh perspectives on personal and workplace challenges, decisions, and relationships – and all this ultimately improves the overall quality of your life.

I call myself a LIFE & WORK coach because our personal and work life are so interconnected and the boundaries between each are blurred. Each influence the other.

Coaching - accelerate your personal growth 

You will handle stress much better, feel happier and more light-hearted when you:

• Make decisions with more confidence and ease
• Unravel time management tangles and boost personal productivity
• Get on top of commitments, projects and plans
• Confront the demons of self-doubt and procrastination
• Develop insights and skills to deal with a tough job, a difficult relationship or a health issue

Coaching process - we start where you are

Coaching sessions are uniquely tailored to meet your needs, expectations and problems

Coaching works when you have: 

• a safe and confidential space to express your anxieties, worries, hopes and dreams 
• a chance to consider alternative perspectives and different choices 
• opportunities to put into practice new habits, improve your organizational skills, establish priorities or set boundaries  
• time to focus on you ​​

Clients often refer to my combination of a “no-nonsense” practical approach to addressing the matter at hand, counterbalanced with large doses of empathy and cheerleading as required.

As a coach I wear many hats, serving as your sounding board, career guide, organizational wizard and accountability cop!

​All this reflects my career path and academic background:

• Training consultant for more than 20 years – I have a passion for helping people learn, shift and adapt to change
• Project manager of continuing medical education programs for healthcare professionals for more than 10 years – my role was overseeing program development and implementation
  
• Working in many fields  – healthcare, telecommunications, transportation, aerospace, human rights, education – has given me insights into diverse organizational cultures and workplace challenges

Real-life success stories

A physician learns new strategies to create more balance in her home and work life ​​

Coach Minda helped me sort out how to set some boundaries and find more equilibrium at home which had turned into a “battle zone”. Between the massive demands of work and our serious challenges on the home front, my husband and I found Minda very helpful in learning how to work as a team. She helped us figure out what our values and priorities are and to use these to guide our decisions around our daughter, two other children and family life.  Minda has a unique no-nonsense approach and very practical. She listens and asks questions that really provoke insights previously unknown.

A corporate lawyer creates a plan to transition to a different career  ​

With Minda's help, I have put together a short-term plan, which allows me to grow and feel more comfortable within my present position while establishing a long-term plan to help me transition to a new career.  Minda's ability to quickly hone in on the topics that needed to be  "tackled" was impressive.  Her positive approach allowed me to realize the unique skills that I could bring to a working environment.  I now have a clear view of where to focus my energy in order to find career opportunities that fulfill my needs.

An established artist clarifies priorities, sets realistic goals and sees tangible results

Minda has a friendly, yet no-nonsense approach when we sit together. I tend to go off on tangents in conversation and in life, and organizational skills are not my strength. In just four sessions, she has helped me focus my attention on priorities and I have been enjoying the new me: I have started looking at things differently, and getting things in order. I am definitely seeing results. And I have learned new things about myself as a result of our interactions! ​
