Helene's bio picture. Brown hair, brown eyes, warm smile, professional looking

My best strengths are listening, synthesizing a lot of information quickly, building trust, and bringing out the best in others.

I’m a student of human interaction, and I love helping people improve communication and connection because there’s no limit on how good they can be.

In addition to coaching, I’m on a mission to help people get better at handling compliments. I’m currently writing a book and workshop, The Compliment Response, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

I’m also the author of Commit to Thanks, a gratitude blog based on my experience sending over 200 hand-written thank you notes to friends, family, coworkers, service providers, and even people I never met.

I spent the past 40 years in corporations, learning what works…and what doesn’t. I’ve crushed revenue targets, transformed teams, delivered complex programs on time and under budget, and developed people into world-class leaders.
