FAITH'S BIO & CREDENTIALS
Bio
My
career has followed a trajectory that I could never have
imagined.
Environmental Attorney: After clerking for a federal judge,
I joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, where I served as Special
Assistant to the General Counsel, then worked on regulatory development and
defensive litigation, and finally served as a Branch Chief for enforcement litigation.
Consultant and coach for international environmental development: After completing a
special one-year assignment for the Agency for International Development on pollution management,
I worked for more than ten years as a freelance international environmental consultant and coach,
collaborating with senior officials and their staffs in the public and private and nonprofit sectors of more than
twenty countries worldwide, often working in French or Spanish.
Executive/leadership coach: As executive/leadership coaching gained increasing recognition, I formally
transitioned into this field so that I could apply my international coaching experience to work with
established and emerging leaders in multiple disciplines within the United States.
I work with a wide range of clients within the public, private and nonprofit sectors.
ADHD coach: My fascination with ADHD (from the dual perspective of a coach and having many symptoms myself)
led me to the specialized field of coaching bright and creative
adult professionals and graduate students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
and similar symptoms.
Mentor coach: I am a Registered ICF Mentor Coach, with extensive mentoring experience. I offer my mentor
coaching clients a rich opportunity to deepen their coaching skills and self-growth. In addition to providing one-on-one
and group mentor
coaching for ICF credentialing, I served for nearly twenty years as a volunteer mentor coach, as well as a client coach, for
One to One: Women Coaching Women
(OtO), a nonprofit organization that provides pro bono coaching to women emerging from challenging circumstances.
Healing Services: I am a certified yoga teacher
and offer
Yoga, Meditation & Mindfulness, interrelated
approaches with well-known potential for positive change.
