Hi! I’m (Rebecca). I’m an executive coach who writes about these three topics:

1) Somatic Intelligence: How to turn (what is likely) your biggest blindspot into your secret superpower in life and work.
2) How you can align your life’s work with your values. Resources to help you do this, and tidbits on why I spend so much time in Kyoto, Japan.
3) Ideas, stories, and inspiration from brilliant leaders like you who care about conscious leadership and impact. 

Check out older posts and catch up on what you missed here.


About me

I’m a former tech co-founder who faced a fork in the road and decided not to become a Zen teacher and somatic practitioner. Instead, I found enormous fulfillment and joy in coaching executives. My clients are CEOs and global leaders hungry for conscious leadership, clarity, self-mastery, and a desire to align their purpose with their path. 

I started writing a book to share (and make visible) the secrets of somatic intelligence. I chose this topic because, 20 years ago, I learned that the body is the biggest blind spot we have. It dramatically affects leadership beyond well-being, resilience, and power poses. Rather than make people wait for a fully formed book, I decided to share the tools, frameworks, and stories of how my clients have transformed here on Substack so you can experience the work for yourself. In addition to prior posts, you can check out videos on this topic here. 

At the end of 2023, I left Silicon Valley (my home of 23 years). My husband and I now live part-time in Southern California and Kyoto, Japan. Many have asked, “Why Japan?!” So, I intend to share glimpses of this journey.
