Hi! I’m Taylor.
I’ve spent over a decade working in corporate America in sales and leadership development. I grew up as a competitive figure skater, in an environment where it was expected that I would do well in skating, get good grades, go to college, graduate, get a stable job….you get the picture. I thought life worked like that - you follow the path of shoulds, and you’re all set, right?
Not exactly.
I graduated college and for the first time in my life, I didn’t know what was next. Should I go get my PhD in psychology? What sort of jobs are available to someone with NO experience? Why does it seem like everyone I know has their lives together? I took a job in sales, thinking it would be a great first foot in the door and help me to start building my skills and network.
I learned so much so quickly about business and how companies operate, and quickly became fascinated by this concept of leadership. I noticed how some of my first leaders were able to identify strengths in me that I wasn’t even aware of, help me focus in on those strengths, and use them to start building my career. I finally started to feel a sense of direction at work, and knew I wanted to do this for others.
Along the way, I became a people leader myself. I wanted to learn (and still am learning) all of the things that made a leader the type of leader we all want to work for. Through this journey, I realized that my true passion was helping others recognize their strengths, get clear on their ‘why,’ and use that to build a career and life that they were truly proud of. Whether that was through helping someone navigate a career change, working with someone to identify what made them ‘tick,’ or empowering leaders to increase their effectiveness, I was hooked.
I now have my Masters in Industrial & Organizational Psychology and am a Certified Professional Coach. I use the intersection of my education, my own experiences, and my coaching background to help others:
Get clear on their why.
Clarify and truly understand their core values.
Apply this to create more meaning in their careers and lives, aligning to what’s most important to them.
Use these strategies to help their teams and colleagues do the same.
I live in Colorado with my husband and our two dogs, Hazel and Lou. During the day, I work with sales leaders in tech to be the best leaders they can be. Outside of my day job, I love to be outside enjoying the 300 days of sunshine that Colorado gets, running, or exploring new restaurants and breweries in town.
