At Boldly Quiet Consulting, I help people navigate life’s pivotal transitions with clarity, courage, and purpose. Whether you’re stepping into retirement, taking on new responsibilities for aging parents, or simply ready to reimagine what’s next, this is a space for thoughtful reflection and bold action.

For much of my life, I lived by default — drifting along, taking advantage of opportunities but without a clear sense of direction. I allowed others to define who I was and what I would be good at (or not). It never really occurred to me that I had choices — choices that could lead me in a completely different direction, choices that could dramatically change my life.

I received my undergraduate degree from the College of William & Mary right after high school, and for decades, I never seriously considered going back to school. Thirty years later, I made what I consider the first big choice about my life direction: I enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania to earn my master’s in Organizational Dynamics, concentrating in Organizational Coaching and Leading and Managing Change. As I met people from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, it felt like a door to a new world was opening — one that was both scary and exciting. This door ultimately led to Boldly Quiet Consulting.
