Pauline was trained and certified as a Co-Active Coach (CPCC) through The Coaches Training Institute. CTI is one of the largest coach training organizations in the world and
considered "the Harvard of coach training" by the industry veterans.
Pauline has received specific training for coaching adults with Attention Deficit Disorder through ADD Resources (www.addresources.org).
Prior to becoming a coach, she spent seven years writing her memoir, Grief Denied: A Vietnam Widow’s Story. (www.griefdenied.com)
Prior to that she worked for Landmark Education Corporation (www.Landmarkeducation.com), first as an assistant and then as a staff member, eventually leading many parts of the courses. She was in The Potential Forum Leader’s Program when she left in 1990 to write her memoir.
Pauline has been engaged in her own personal growth for over 30 years. She has worked with thousands of people in furthering their personal and professional development.
She has a BS in Education and has studied extensively in the fields of Psychology and Spirituality. She has been practicing Vipassana Meditation for 15 years and in 12-Step Recovery for 14 years.
She is a single mom, grandmother of two and a life-long learner. When she’s not working with clients or spending time with her grandchildren, she’s out riding her bike or hiking in the beautiful hills of Northern California. She loves to garden, dance and travel to new destinations.
She is a gifted public speaker who speaks nationally about the many joys of acknowledging and embracing hardships as a pathway to peace.
Her greatest skill is her Intuition.
Having experienced a significant loss in her early 20’s has given her the capacity to experience profound levels of joy.
Having survived a life-threatening illness has given her the capacity to love whole-heartedly and appreciate the sacredness of daily life.
Having lived with addictions has given her the capacity to give up trying to control her life and to surrender to a power greater than herself.
Being diagnosed at 60 with Attention Deficit Disorder has taught her to laugh at herself and, once again, make lemonade out of lemons.
