About Me

Self-awareness is the foundation, whether you're navigating a career pivot or refining your ride.

I'm an ICF-certified coach, equine-assisted coach, experienced executive leader, and lifelong rider. Leadership coaching is deeply relevant to both business leaders and equestrians because it centers on the human experience of leading with clarity, confidence, and presence.

 

Drawing on neuroscience, emotional agility, and reflective practices, I partner with my clients to deepen self-awareness, build courage, and strengthen connection, with themselves, with their team, and with their horse.

​​

With a background in scientific research, adult education, and leadership development, I support leaders as they align who they are with how they lead, whether that’s navigating a new chapter in their career, preparing for competition, or simply seeking more meaning their life. The arena may look different, but the inner work is the same.

My Story

The most powerful leaders aren’t defined by their title—but by their ability to lead with purpose, clarity, and authenticity.

My story began on a small farm in New England, where I was surrounded by animals—including horses—who taught me invaluable lessons about leadership, presence, and trust. In their world, authenticity is everything, and connection comes not from authority but from clarity, confidence, and alignment.

 

Those early lessons shaped my leadership philosophy. 

Throughout my career as an executive and now as a coach, I’ve seen how true leadership isn’t about status or success—it’s about leading with purpose, staying true to your values, and approaching life with curiosity and courage.

My Purpose

Success is only part of the equation—fulfillment comes when your professional and personal life reflects your values and purpose, and you show up as your authentic self.

The journey to authentic leadership isn’t always easy, but it is always meaningful. I understand the pressures of high-level leadership, the weight of responsibility, and the desire to make a lasting impact. I’ve navigated career transitions, balanced competing priorities, and rediscovered my own superpowers—my values, purpose, and authentic self.

 

These experiences fuel my passion for helping leaders like you step into a new chapter with clarity, confidence, and connection.

"Life’s path is rarely linear, but I believe there are no right or wrong paths—only the ones we create by truly listening to ourselves."

"Working with my Lynn over the past eight months has been transformative. Soon after we first started, I entered a period of real uncertainty—navigating competing priorities, big life decisions, and a sense of overwhelm. I’m someone who tends to think a mile a minute, and at times I can be all over the place, jumping from idea to idea without always pausing to distill what truly matters.

What made this coaching relationship so powerful is that Lynn met me exactly where I was. She helped me slow down, simplify, and reconnect with my own internal compass. She genuinely partnered with me, listening deeply, asking the right questions, and helping me uncover solutions that, in hindsight, were often right there in front of me.

Most importantly, I always felt that she cared, not just about my “goals” on paper, but about me as a whole person. That sense of partnership and trust made all the difference. I’m leaving this coaching process with more clarity, confidence, and a deeper belief in my own ability to navigate what’s next. I cannot recommend working with Lynn enough, and am truly grateful for the last eight months working with her."

"I’ve tried a lot of things in life. Some of them felt like missteps and a few were face-plants. For a long time, I saw that as a problem, like I was doing something wrong or couldn’t get it ‘right.’ But every single one of those experiences shaped who I am today.

Coaching with Lynn helped me connect the dots in a way I never could on my own. She helped me see that this isn’t a flaw, it’s how I’m wired. Each twist and turn, each success and setback, added something essential to who I am.

Now I can see myself more clearly, and it finally makes sense. I’m ready for what’s next. I’m ready for my next adventure, but I know it won’t be my last!"

​"Working with Lynn has been transformative. I came into coaching feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of my next steps. Through our sessions, I gained clarity, confidence, and the help I needed to define what truly matters to me.

 

Lynn has a rare gift for listening deeply, asking questions that encourage critical thinking, and creating a space where growth feels not only possible, but inevitable.

 

Thanks to her compassionate support, I’ve learned to approach challenges with a steadfast belief in myself. I will be forever grateful for my time spent with Lynn.”
