About Your Coach Désirée 




My Origin Story

Have you ever felt like you’re standing at a pivotal moment in your leadership journey? Called to evolve, to lead with more clarity, or to reconnect with a deeper sense of purpose?

Leadership is a story in motion, and you have the power to author yours with intention.

I’ve always been drawn to transformation. Long before I became a leadership coach, I was captivated by the character arcs found in literature, fantasy, and role-playing games...stories that revealed a powerful truth: we don’t become great leaders in spite of challenge, but because of it.

That lens shaped my 24-year career as a Federal Human Capital leader, where I worked at the intersection of strategy and humanity, supporting leaders through change, complexity, and transition. Behind every role and reorganization, I saw the deeper story unfolding: people searching for clarity, alignment, and purpose.

So for me, the next natural chapter was to become a coach.
 

Characters Matter

As an ICF Associate Certified Coach and Gallup Global Strengths Coach, I blend strengths-based science with the art of storytelling to help leaders evolve with clarity, confidence, and integrity. Through Character Arc Leadership Coaching, I help you uncover the themes shaping your leadership today and intentionally design what comes next.

Because when you lead from your story, you don’t just change your path, you invite others to rise with you.
