te·nac·i·ty
/təˈnasədē/
Persistent and unwavering determination. The steadfast pursuit of a goal despite obstacles. A person with tenacity is someone who just won’t quit. “Her tenacity is demonstrated by the persistent pursuit of her goals despite challenges.”
My Coaching Approach
I’m a transformative coach who takes a holistic approach to leadership development. Every engagement goes beyond skills — it’s about uncovering the hidden potential that’s already within you. Together, we build awareness, resilience, and the capacity to lead with clarity, courage, and purpose.
Tenacity (tə·NASS·i·tee) is more than endurance; it’s grace under pressure, courage in transition, and the quiet strength to lead with heart. Over time, my coaching philosophy has distilled into three essential pillars — Trust, Empathy, and Authenticity. Together, they form the foundation for transformational growth and sustainable leadership.
Trust
It’s the confidence to trust your own judgment and instincts, even when the path ahead is uncertain. Trust also means empowering your team to grow, create, and lead. When trust is present, leaders move from control to collaboration — and that’s where performance thrives.
Empathy
It starts inward — showing yourself grace when you misstep — and extends outward to others. Empathy allows leaders to see people, not just performance. When practiced authentically, it builds connection, respect, and loyalty that fuel lasting results.
Authenticity
Authenticity is the courage to align who you are with how you lead. When leaders show up transparently and invite others to do the same, they create cultures rooted in trust, innovation, and belonging. That’s where transformation begins.
Why Choose Tenacity Executive Coaching?
Through my lifetime I have developed tenacity—you know that steel-will desire to obtain your goals and arrive at them joyfully? My tenacity journey began for me when I was in college. Working a retail job that paid $3.85 an hour, I worked my way through Temple University and Rutgers Law School as a first-generation college student with almost no family support.
I finished my undergrad degree in four years, literally paying $50 or $60 on my tuition balance every two weeks. I lived under the threat that my classes would be “washed out” due to my unpaid balances. It was harrowing! But I got it done, and managed to graduate on time, cum laude with acceptance to all seven law schools where I applied!
In law school, I won a moot court award for Best Oral Argument arguing for the weaker party on which statute of limitations applied - and one of the judges commented: “You’re quite tenacious.”
Those words and experiences are the reason why I named my business:
