Songbird SynergyFounder, Consultant, and Coach
Mar. 2024Pittsburgh, PAWHAT I DO: I help teams and growth-minded individuals harness the power of emotional intelligence to thrive in work and in life. I offer my signature 3-Phase Finding Harmony Process for businesses, designed to improve workplace culture, streamline workflows, and boost employee retention. I offer individuals a transformative 8-week coaching journey to increase emotional awareness, build resilience, and cultivate clarity and confidence. For Teams & Businesses: ✔️ Conduct a full employee experience audit and emotional intelligence assessment ✔️ Design a custom group and individual mindset plan ✔️ Facilitate coaching sessions using personalized mindset tools and exercises For Individuals: ✔️ Identify emotional blocks and limiting beliefs ✔️ Build practical, emotional intelligence skills for real-life challenges ✔️ Receive weekly 1:1 coaching and custom exercises tailored to your goals After working together, you can expect: ✓ Improved team communication and collaboration ✓ Increased retention and workplace satisfaction ✓ Greater productivity and customer satisfaction ✓ More clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience ✓ A stronger connection between your personal growth and professional success HOW I DO IT: I approach every coaching experience—whether for a team or an individual—with a human-centered mindset. I see each employee or client as the “end user” and apply the same principles used in UX: empathy, research, and personalized strategy. By blending emotional intelligence coaching with design thinking and psychology, I uncover the root causes of disconnection or misalignment—and help create sustainable, meaningful change from the inside out.
