About
What is Sonder Haven?
People often ask why I named my company Sonder Haven. The origin is very personal to me and a daily source of motivation
Sonder- n. The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passed on the street, has a complex life that is constantly evolving.
Haven- n. Proper Name, My late father’s name was Haven; he was a values-driven, small business owner who profoundly shaped my life. This honors the legacy he left. However, a haven is also a safe place, and I look at my coaching services as a way for people to explore non-judgmentally the next steps forward.
Mission
We empower impact-driven professionals to live their potential, guiding them toward clarity and focus.
Because no one should have to figure things out alone.
My Story
My approach is a powerful one –- yet approachable, relatable, and authentic –- as I help others break free from self-imposed, others-imposed or societal limits.
People and their stories have always fascinated me, firing up an inquisitiveness to learn more and thoughtfully ask questions to understand better. I process a lot of information rapidly and discern patterns that prompt others to say, “Oh, wow! Just talking to you I am thinking I could do…” It’s amazing how quickly people will open up and trust me. That’s a gift to be handled with the utmost care.
My inquisitiveness and the quest to live my own life and career to its fullest potential led me on a path many have called intriguing. With nearly 25 years of leadership and coaching experience, I’ve worked in a wide variety of organizational cultures, sizes, and industries, including healthcare, non-profit, broadcast journalism and public relations consulting When I’m not working, I spend time with friends and family or curled up in a chair, nose deep in a non-fiction book (be sure to check out my resource page for some of my faves).
