See your patterns.

Lead with clarity.

Create meaningful work.

Coaching for leaders, teams, and individuals at the intersection of SYSTEM and PERSON.

 

Personal Development, Leadership and Systemic Team Coaching

You're going through the motions.

Working hard. Checking boxes. But somewhere along the way, you lost the thread of why any of it matters.

 

Maybe you’re a leader who feels disconnected from your work. Maybe your team survived layoffs and reorg but trust feels broken. Maybe you’re capable of so much more, but can’t see what’s keeping you stuck.

 

Here’s what I know:

You’re not broken. You’re stuck in patterns you can’t see. And once you SEE them, once you have LANGUAGE for what you’re experiencing, everything shifts.

 

That’s what I do. I don’t fix you (you don’t need to be fixed!). I see what you can’t see about yourself. I give you language for what you can’t articulate. I make the invisible visible.

 

Then we rebuild from there.

How I Work

 

 

I work at the intersection of SYSTEM and PERSON.

 

Most coaches work with individuals OR teams. I work with both because individual patterns create team dysfunction, and broken systems break individuals.

 

The Science of Leadership
I bring neuroscience, evidence-based tools, and systemic thinking to every engagement:

 

Neuroscience & Neurolinguistics
I understand what’s happening in your brain when you’re stressed, and why reconnecting with values literally changes your stress response.

 

High Performance Habits
I help you build sustainable practices that create lasting change, not just motivation that fades. We focus on habits that align with your values and energy, not someone else’s productivity system.

 

Communication & Conflict Management
Most breakdowns aren’t about what’s being said, they’re about how it’s being heard. I help you communicate with clarity, navigate conflict with confidence, and build the kind of dialogue that moves things forward instead of keeping everyone stuck.

 

Enneagram
Reveals the patterns and motivations you can’t always see on your own, the defaults that drive your behavior under pressure.

 

Systemic Team Coaching
Addresses root causes in teams, not just surface symptoms. I work with the whole system, not just individuals.

 

Emotional Intelligence
This is where most leaders get stuck, understanding and managing emotions (yours and others’) in high-stakes situations. I help you build awareness and develop the skills to lead with both head and heart.

 

The result? You don’t just understand yourself better. You transform how you lead, how you relate, and how you build, individually and collectively.

 

Hi, I'm Miriam,

I help leaders and teams see the patterns they’re stuck in and give them language for what they’re experiencing, so they can lead with clarity, make aligned decisions, and build meaningful work.

I’m a Certified Systemic Team Coach with 8+ years coaching leaders and teams. I hold law degrees from two countries, a Master’s in Communication & Neurolinguistics, and I’ve worked across tech, legal, automotive, and translation industries.

But here’s what matters most:
In 2025, when my daughter was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and I lost half my clients to layoffs, I had to choose between my business and my family. I chose my family.

As scary as it may be, that choice taught me what I’d been teaching all along: when you’re connected to your values and purpose, even the hardest choices become clear.

I made the right decision: my daughter is doing well, and my business is thriving. I don’t just teach reconnection. I live it.

Start Here: Year in Review Workbook

Before you set new goals, take time to reflect on what 2025 taught you.
This guided workbook (+ meditation) helps you close the year with intention, honoring what was hard, celebrating what worked, and clarifying what you want to carry forward.
It takes about an hour. And that hour matters.

Systemic Team Coaching

When teams fragment under pressure, systemic coaching rebuilds connection.

Your team survived the layoffs, the reorg, the leadership change. And trust is broken. Performance is down. And everyone’s walking on eggshells. You can’t fix this by coaching individuals alone. You need to work with the whole system.

I help teams rebuild psychological safety, reconnect to shared purpose, and create sustainable collaboration.

Testimonials

I’ve worked with Miriam off and on for the last 3 years. She is a fantastic coach and really helped me to focus on taking my career to the next level. Her skills and experience are unparalleled; I believe that her coaching abilities would be beneficial to folks at any stage of their career. She has helped me with everything from time management/productivity to communication to increasing my professional profile internally and externally.

Jon Lane, Quality Engineer

Testimonials

Miriam was my coach for just over a year and I could not be happie with the results that came from it. She was always very thoughtful about what needed to be discussed and didn’t strictly stick to some planned out regimen. The experience felt very personalized and she was very careful about what information she kept in her notes as to protect me as a client, and was very transparent about what she was writing down.

Miriam cares so much about her clients and you will see that immediately if you ever have her as a coach, I recommend her fully and without reservation.

 

Dylan Munson, Fullstack/Frontend/Backend Developer/Engineer 

Testimonials

“I work in education as the head of my department. I deal with many different personalities on a daily basis. Prior to working with Miriam, I used to dread certain conversations because I knew that they would be tense, go nowhere, and would end in conflict.

Miriam’s coaching has helped me listen more closely to what is being said. I am more able to pick up on critical pieces of information and body language cues that I had previously missed. I am now learning to effectively use these cues to calm the situation and move the dialogue forward in a productive manner.

I no longer shy away from difficult conversations because I feel more aware and have confidence in my abilities.”

 

Lyn P., Educator

Testimonials

“Coaching requires that you are able to be open and honest in order to dig deep and learn about yourself and learn how to be a more effective you.  Miriam does not provide answers, magically solve problems, or tell you what you should do.

Miriam’s coaching helps you identify what is out of alignment, set personal goals, and develop your skills.  It is a continuous process of growth and development. If you put in the time and the effort, Miriam will guide and support your journey. It’s been a true game changer in my career.”

Brandy P.

Testimonials

“We have a small business in the food industry. Miriam was essential in helping my business partner and I realize that the main reason for our current disagreements rested on the fact that we never truly discussed the evolution of our roles in the company and were now stepping on each others’ shoes.

Something so simple, yet we could not see it for ourselves.”

Cary, Entrepreneur, Food industry

Testimonials

“Our work together has also been an anchor for remembering that everything felt and experienced passes through the limbic system, as the place where emotions reside.  Keeping this fact in the forefront of my mind focused my efforts on understanding and processing my emotions, as well as helping my students understand and process theirs.

As trust grew between students, and the class culture became more inclusive, I especially noted improvement in the well-being of students with learning differences. Students began to see one another more clearly.”

Maggie, Educator

Testimonials

“I manage a 10 person team and just like any other team we have our share of conflicts. Miriam focused on the team leads and asked us to describe recent conflicts and how we addressed them. She helped me to put the different personality types into perspective. That helped me understand how wide-ranging my responses to different employees need to be.

I applied her suggestions and it truly worked. I find that conflict in the workplace is never ending and it can be draining so it felt good to discuss tactics for dealing with it with Miriam.” 

 

John G,  Executive

Here’s what clients say about working with me:
You help me see patterns I couldn’t see on my own.
You give me language for what I’m feeling but couldn’t articulate.
You listen. I feel so understood.
There’s always something we discuss that I never thought of, but after our session, it resonates.

That’s my gift: I listen. I see what you can’t see. I give you language for what you’re experiencing. I make the invisible visible.
Then we build from there.

Giving back

Together we pay it forward. When working with me, we give back to those in need around us. I reinvest at least 10% of my profits back into local organizations whose missions focus on the less privileged.
