Pam's coaching draws on the Integral approach of Ken Wilber and New Ventures West, a coach training company in San Francisco, where she was senior faculty for over a decade. Pamela's style is practical and accessible, helping clients open new possibilities, generate new behavior, and deepen their experience of authenticity, influence, fulfillment and meaning. Her strength is in developing people -- their presence and power, their interpersonal skills, and their ability to self-reflect and self-observe so they can tap their own internal wisdom.
