I’m a leadership coach, OD strategist, and highly sensitive leader with a strong belief that when we understand how we’re wired, we can create work and lives that actually work.

I’ve spent the last 15 years helping people and organizations grow—across industries like healthcare, tech, manufacturing, PR, construction, engineering, and non-profit. My work has always centered around one core goal: to cultivate the health of the individual, team, and organization as the path to sustainable performance, clarity, and impact.

I hold dual master’s degrees in Organization Development and Business Administration, am an ICF Transpersonal Coach, and IACTP Highly Sensitive Person Coach (in-training), and a Birkman Method certified consultant.

Still, my most transformative education and experience comes from being a highly sensitive person in a world that doesn’t know what to do with that. Diagnosed as a child with a dysfunction, later updated to disorder, I finally learned in 2014 my brain’s way of processing the world wasn’t either of these—it was gift resulting from an inherited trait.

Today, I help sensitive professionals (and their corporate allies) learn to lead from a place of alignment so they can build work-lives that work on their terms.

Here when you need me — Sira

    “

    I had never experienced a Life Coach or Career Consultant prior to teaming up with Sira. I wasn't sure what to expect but I knew that my professional transition required more than my own habitual faculties to navigate through. After our sessions together, I was much more confident and prepared as a result.

  • LAURA K.

    “

    Sira made a genuine effort to get to know me and started by asking me numerous questions about my personal and career experiences as well as current and future goals I had. She then road mapped how a potential negotiation conversation would flow. Within this, she worked with me on my communication skills to clearly and concisely present my "case" for the counter compensation I was requiring. We role played (which was incredibly valuable) as she helped me uncover the "why" to my "worth" so that it would naturally be part of the conversation.
