organization effectiveness
I respect the importance of change on people. We’ll take hairy, complex problems and break them down into bite-sized pieces for meaningful, non-threatening project management and achievable success for change. We don’t work off a specific model rather, we figure out what works for the client. This is not traditional consulting. We look holistically at the organization and laser in on areas needing change and do it together.
“As leader of the Organization Effectiveness Group at American Express Company, I worked with Sonia on an amazing variety of organization development projects. As an independent consultant, I continue to partner with her. Sonia is an energetic and insightful organization development consultant who brings both business and “people” savvy to the table to create practical solutions to business problems. Her organization development experience spans a wide variety of business functions in a wide variety of industries. A “Valley Girl” who lived and worked in NYC, she combines hard business thinking with soft people interventions to create effective performance solutions.”
Executive coaching
I help executives become successful in introducing strategic change, and building skills to transition into more complex roles. I am fluent in coaching across the employee life cycle: new to the organization, emerging talent, high potentials, business presidents and seasoned executives. Bringing 15+ years of knowledge as an Organizational Effectiveness consultant, I understand the pressure executives and employees take on inside the business. Often, executives have confided a need to be a Superhero: tough exterior while caring for their organization and teams. They carry a heavy load, particularly when moving the business model and realigning their people. Even the best superheroes need a sidekick. What's your kryptonite? We will find out and tackle it together!
“I remember you making my life better. You listened to my dreams, aspirations and goals. You ensured I focused on aligning what my managers wanted and that it also aligned with the company’s overall objectives. You were different than others because you didn’t sugar coat the truth. You were honest about my situation which allowed me to move forward.”
Private Coaching
Coaching is accessible to everyone. My clients sponsor themselves. We work diligently to determine what has them tangled and work on untangling them strand by strand. Many clients are struggling with next steps in their career. These brilliant minds have a wealth of potential and opportunities. They are badasses and we unleash their swagger.
“Collaborating with Sonia has been a transformative experience. Her strategic vision, deep expertise, and empathetic leadership empower clients to navigate complexity with clarity, confidence, and authenticity. Sonia brings a rare combination of emotional intelligence, executive rigor and discipline, and purpose-driven insight, helping leaders align their values with high-impact results.
If you are seeking a coach who is visionary, grounded, and results-oriented, Sonia offers a soulful yet pragmatic approach that will elevate your leadership and expand your impact.”
Speaking Engagements
Speaking is an accidental wonder. This is a lovely example of a group of people nudging and nourishing me to share my stories with a broader audience. My talks are sprinkled with real life experience, theory and a dash of edu-tainment.
“To say Sonia breathed new life into our conference is an understatement. Her talk as the closing keynote speaker for our annual meeting had the group rapt and left us with expansive ideas and the motivation to sustain necessary change. Her authenticity shines through in all she does and her energy is contagious. Needless to say it was just what we needed and I would love to be an attendee at any of her talks. I would secure her as a speaker again without hesitation.”
“After seeing Sonia speak at a leadership conference, I knew she’d be perfect for our corporate event. Her dynamic style, authenticity, and ability to engage any audience truly stand out. Sonia took the time to understand our goals and tailored her presentation with care and precision. She captivated our group of clinicians with humor, relatable stories, and practical advice. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive—many said it was the most impactful session of the day. I’d gladly work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking to inspire and energize their audience.”
