Bringing the authenticity and creativity to every community conversation.

People respond best to something they can relate to, after all.

What a beautiful journey…

One of my earliest memories is playing under a desk in a university classroom while my mom delivered a lecture to a roomful of future teachers. Some 25 years later, I was the one standing on the stage of a university auditorium, delivering a talk about gremlins and the creative voice, and there was my mom, sitting in a front row in rapt attention.

From the pencil-ready crowd of the Roanoke Regional Writers Conference to the video mosaic of a continuing education presentation for the International Coach Federation, my mom has been there. Though not in the audience among the precocious students of the Roanoke Valley Governor’s School or at my keynote for the Council of Community Services, she caught up later by way of recordings. Other talks still – like facilitating the roundtable of keynote speakers at the Montgomery County Women’s Conference and presenting to community at the Taubman Museum of Art – she heard about in what was likely excruciating detail in overly-long phone calls.

She and I do love an overly-long phone call.

I am here to support you…

My TEDx Talk in 2013? That one my mom watched via livestreaming.

While her influence is relevant every time I step in front of a crowd, my mom is not the only common thread of my workshops, facilitated discussions, and keynotes. Others include my:

  • Intense love of sharing every bit of what I’ve learned about creating bigger lives, badder selves, and epic teams.
  • Experience with overcoming adversity – especially the kind we all carry inside us as the gremlin voices of self-diminishment.
  • Quality that author/trainer/speaker Annette Simmons described as a “bubbly, casual delivery style [that] opens listener’s minds and hearts so wide they can’t believe how much they learned.”

Maybe you’re excited to get your conference attendees back in the same room and are seeking an energetic keynote…

Maybe your remote team needs some glue for greater cohesion…

Maybe the coaches in your association are seeking new and meaningful ways to deliver ancient wisdom…

Should we talk?

Talk is cheap, and this time it’s free! We know a lot of people offer free consultations that are just long, painful sales presentations. That’s not what this is. Let’s just talk and test the fit, no strings attached.

Meet SB...

Known equally for her laughter and her cogent questions, SB is the business coach who takes a holistic view and the empowerment coach who brings the work down to earth. While her psychology degree from UNC-Greensboro and coach training from the Coach Training Alliance shaped her understanding of human behavior, her innate abilities to create cohesive pictures out of seemingly disparate parts and see people from the intersection of what is and what could be are what makes coaching with SB a particularly unique experience. From the little blue house with the beautiful back yard that she shares with her wife, Theresa, and their rowdy pups in Greensboro, NC, SB collaborates with those seeking their bigger selves and badder lives across the country and around the world.

I’d love to have a few minutes to get to know you and understand your goals and current challenges. I take a no-pressure approach and would never do you the disservice of making this a sales call.

Coaching is a tool, not a crutch.
You are creative, resourceful and whole. You’re not curious about coaching because you’re incapable of your own accomplishments but because something in you knows that your bigger life and badder self will become all the more accessible with the support of a well-versed, caring outside perspective.
Death and Stuff Icon
Coaching is an investment, not an extravagance.
No doubt, your time, money and attention are all in high demand. Focusing on your own development, though, is like upgrading to a hyper-efficient HVAC system for your home; the upfront investment will lead to savings and eco-goodness for years to come. The upfront investment in your bigger life and badder self means more energy, more focus, and a more refined vision that will serve you and all of your other priorities for the long haul.

SB is a coach, not a sales person.
When you schedule an initial conversation with SB, she doesn’t crack her knuckles and put on her game face. She cracks her notebook and puts on her curiosity – about who you are, what you need, and whether collaborating with her might be a good resource for you. Of course, she hopes you’ll get along like peas and carrots but she never tries to turn a rutabaga into a pea.
