Renascence Coaching grew out of my own experience of transformational change. With the help of many people, and a variety of training resources, I learned to apply new principles in my relationships. Over time I found that these changes were creating newness in every facet of my life. My desire to facilitate the same possibilities for others led to my certification as a Transformational Coach through the Advancing Ministries Coaching Academy.

In Renascence Consulting I bring similar transformational principles to non-profit organizations. My experiences as a volunteer began in high school and college, and since then I have held paid or unpaid positions for over a dozen different non-profit organizations. During my 15 years of service on non-profit boards, including three years as Board Chair, I began my self-directed studies in board governance and organizational effectiveness. My broadening interest in consulting led me to complete an MBA at the University of Rhode Island, where my studies focused on the non-profit sector.

"Renascence" (re-nay-sense), the anglicized version of the French word "Renaissance," means new birth or new life. The literary-minded may also recognize it as the title of a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay. I designed my logo to reflect the theme of the poem, in collaboration with Paul Perry of Ergatas Design.
