Bio

As a Board Certified Coach, I founded Career In Progress, an executive coaching and consulting firm. I develop future career coaches and help career changers and senior leaders advance within their chosen fields.

I am also a Professor in the Higher Education Doctorate Program at Regis College where I coach doctoral students for leadership and research roles directly or indirectly related to higher education.

The Boyer Model (1990) of Scholarship is based on 4-Pillars: Discovery, Application, Teaching, and Integration.

Boyer's Scholarship

SCHOLARSHIP OF

DISCOVERY

My research portfolio centers around workforce readiness and the T-professional; the role of class in higher education; the impact of self-efficacy on long-term career success; college closure and the forced transfer student; and first-generation doctoral student completion; adult learners; and how AI technology is changing the landscape of the world of work.

SCHOLARSHIP OF APPLICATION

I work with companies interested in reimagining their communication and workplace culture. Through a series of collaborative exercises, assessments, and evaluations, I help teams bond, overcome challenges, embrace differences, and work in harmony towards common goals. As a Facilitating Career Developments (FCD) Instructor for the National Career Development Association, I am able to advance career knowledge and skills in various settings.

SCHOLARSHIP OF

TEACHING

I educate scholar-practitioners for our industry. A signature series I developed is a bookend experience to the EdD, focusing on a successful transition in, through, and the culmination of the EdD aimed at increasing the completion rates of the doctoral student through intentional advising and career literacy. The Regis College EdD program currently has a 96% graduate completion rate.

SCHOLARSHIP OF INTEGRATION

I am working on a blog series dedicated to the influences of AI and Chat GPT in career coaching practices, and how these tools are shaping classroom teaching and learning. I am also working on developing an advanced qualitative research curriculum and tools for the IRB faculty and the EdD program and for faculty development workshops on and off campus.
