About Daisy

I'm a certified coach with over 20,000 hours of coaching to help professionals live the authentic lives they desire. What had been the most difficult challenges for me became fuel for my enduring sense of purpose - helping people find and hone their career paths and life purpose with balance and clarity. My clients range from CEOs to new grads, and everyone in between. With deep knowledge and training in a variety of coaching modalities, clients receive a customized approach to transform their particular set of challenges into wins. I draw from:

  • Decades of deep knowledge of workplace and workforce issues and the complexity that goes with that.
  • Years of training in the science of neuro-plasticity; I help clients to incorporate healthier perspectives to the changing scenarios they encounter.
  • Years of working with MBA students and grads; I'm an instructor and executive coach to UCLA's Anderson School of Management MBA and FEMBA students.
  • Interdisciplinary thinking and life-long learning to creatively seek solutions and options with clients; I earned my Master's degree from University of Chicago, my undergrad from Loyola Chicago and continue my studies at UCLA, Stanford University and other institutions.
  • Certifications as Coach, Somatic Coach, Mindfulness and Compassion Instructor/Trainer. Facilitator of hundreds of workshops and classes for groups and retreats of all sizes.
  • My lifelong mindfulness meditation practice which informs my intuitive listening and insights.
  • My commitment to healthy balanced living; based in Santa Barbara, I work with clients across the globe, supporting them to envision and achieve the work and lifestyle they want.
  • My experience as a divorced mother of a now adult son. I know the joy of parenting, as well as the challenges. Working, starting a business, being in a relationship all while parenting. Going through divorce, and the ups and downs of co-parenting and step-parenting. I've lived through those tricky years, and am proud (and relieved) to see my son in his thriving career and life. I've helped many men and women to establish new and satisfying, post-divorce lives. I help clients see the possibilities beyond their current view and then the steps to take to embody a new reality.

What you can expect from me

My clients will tell you that I'm a straight-forward and creative thinking partner. Through our on-going sessions we discuss and discover new options, and reach new  solutions to take pragmatic actions for results. I provide a one-stop shop, coaching you through the process of discovery so that we can create or update your best marketing materials -  we successfully rework resumes and all other communication; LinkedIn profiles, website content and other media to support your goals.

As your coach, I'm here for you. I'll share my honest perspective to keep you moving forward, holding you accountable in a kind and intelligent way. I can be your secret weapon, to help you get where you're going…even when you don't know where that is, or how to get there.

Together, we'll uncover something new and wonderful for you.

What Clients Say ...

Initially, I wasn't entirely sure what career coaching entailed!I would absolutely recommend career coaching with Daisy. I didn't even know what I didn't know about job searching until I started working with Daisy. It completely opened up so many doors for possibilities that I hadn't even considered. I love that Daisy really takes the time to get to know you as an individual first–well beyond basic strengths and weaknesses. It is precisely this person-centered approach that yields such amazing outcomes. As a result of working together I landed a position in a field that perfectly pairs my passions and my skills–a combination I was dubious even existed as a job. I was also able to gain valuable tools for networking and job searching that I'll take with me wherever I go.
