Leadership is human. So is great coaching.
I have a PhD…and for the past ten years, I’ve also been the temple laundress. OK...?
Yes, I manage clothing and laundry at the Phoenix Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But that title only tells a small part of the story.
Throughout my career, I've navigated complex challenges, wrestled with budget issues, coached leaders, facilitated leadership seminars, taught new coaches, resolved conflict, built high-performing teams, and—perhaps most importantly—made plenty of mistakes along the way. Those experiences have taught me that leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about creating an environment where people can do their very best work. I believe with all my heart that leadership is, and always will be, profoundly human.
That’s why I coach...and have done for 20 years.
Technology is transforming the workplace, but you cannot digitize human connection. Artificial intelligence can process information, but it cannot replace genuine trust, meaningful communication, courageous conversations, or the influence of a leader who knows how to inspire people.
Through individual coaching and engaging team workshops, we’ll explore your unique leadership style, challenge assumptions, strengthen communication, build confidence, and create practical strategies you can use immediately. Together, we’ll develop the kind of leadership that people genuinely want to follow.
Whether you’re stepping into leadership for the first time or you’re a seasoned executive looking for your next level of growth, my goal is simple: to help you become a leader who is human, innovative, courageous, inspiring, and unmistakably authentic.
Organizations don’t become extraordinary because of strategies alone. Organizazions become extraordinary because of the people.
And people are led by people.
Irene has been an absolutely perfect coach for me. She has fulfilled her responsibilities with exactness and honor. She helped me increase my abilities and clarity of thought and judgment as she coached me through accomplishing all the goals I set out to do. So thankful to have the blessing of Irene in my life. She's not a therapist or counselor. She is a coach who helps you think through your choices and come to your own decisions.

Irene, I did not get time at the end of the training to let you know how much I appreciate who you BE and thank you for all you have done the last 2 years. Through the years it has been a gift to watch you evolve into the “awesomator” that you have become. The song “Forever Young” reminds me of you. You have a gift and a beautiful heart that you share so much and ROCK SOLID common sense to guide you.
We will always be your raving FANS!!!

Working with Irene has been truly transformative. Irene helped me build genuine confidence in my leadership style while sharpening my ability to lead a team with clarity, empathy, and purpose. Through thoughtful questions, practical tools, and honest feedback, I gained a deeper understanding of my strengths and how to show up more effectively as a leader. I now communicate with more confidence, set clearer expectations, and approach challenges with a clearer vision. This coaching experience not only strengthened my leadership skills but also positively impacted my team’s engagement and results. I highly recommend Irene to anyone looking to grow as a leader and make a meaningful impact.
Truly grateful!
