Daphne is passionate about helping business owners and executives like you achieve success as you define it.  Whether you want to gain greater clarity in your business or create high powered work teams, Daphne can help you get your business where you want it to be.   She’s found that the key to growth is committing yourself to spend more time working ON the business so you can eventually spend less time working IN it.  She gives business owners and executives the tools to find that balance.

Daphne has over 10 years of experience coaching business leaders, from Fortune 500 companies to one person shops.  Throughout her career she has lead the annual strategic planning process for sales, marketing, finance and operations departments in a Fortune 5 company resulting in millions of dollars in new revenue each year. She has facilitated discovery interventions for teams large and small enabling people to work together better, get out of the firefighting mode and increase measurable team output.   Daphne has helped sales groups generate more revenue by using effective incentive plans, strengthening training programs and updating their systems for tracking results. Her diverse experience has given her a deeper perspective on the role people and processes play in a business’ success.

After holding leadership positions in companies such as Philip Morris and Colgate Palmolive, Daphne chose to strike out on her own and bring big business strategies to small and midsized companies.  In addition to one on one coaching she has been a featured speaker for groups such as the IL CPA Society and the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce.

Daphne is a life long learner and looks for formal and informal ways to expand the knowledge she can bring to her clients.  She loves to travel – has explored 4 continents and counting - and greatly appreciates the large extended family, close friends and business mentors who support her endeavors.
