About

Mindful leadership is the catalyst for profound cultural change. Throughout all aspects of life.

As a certified mindfulness-based coach, Clair partners with high-performing people and creative leadership teams at the intersection of consciousness and creativity. 

Two decades of leading teams for Fortune 500 companies as a successful creative director and product designer refined Clair’s distinct ability to drive results with high-performing people and creative leadership teams in fast-paced, challenging environments. 

As an accomplished coach, global design consultant and speaker, Clair is committed to co-creating and designing impactful partnerships, synergistic environments, and successful outcomes founded on the principles of mindfulness, collaboration, and creativity. 

Using a clear coaching process rooted in science, she prioritize reflective inquiry, mindfulness, and the development of the adaptive resilience skills needed to create sustainable, long-term personal, and professional development.

Together with her clients, Clair helps create cultures and cultivate mindsets that center purpose, empowerment, and well-being to create opportunities that cultivate long-lasting solutions and innovative, powerful outcomes.  Those with a desire to maximize their potential thrive through mindful awareness, improved communication and achieve more effective results in all aspects of their personal and professional lives.

An investment into her own growth and development as a leader in the apparel industry is what led Clair to become a certified, professional coach. That journey revealed ample evidence of a quickly evolving workforce and the opportunity for change management through the benefits of developing a coaching culture. 

Clair knows what it takes to define and achieve success and as a thought partner. Her methodology, expertise, and purpose focus on a three-pronged approach to coaching: 

• Assessing and understanding complex dynamics

• Education and skill-building for solutions

• Ongoing practical implementation

This process is proven to elevate and shift perspectives beyond reductive or restrictive confines into expansive, growth-oriented mindsets, and healthy, proactive boundaries. Clair’s work leverages synergistic opportunities and amplifies each person's unique skills to better navigate this rapidly changing world. 

She envisions a world where all organizations invest in their employees' well-being and prioritize learning and growth through mindfulness-based leadership, compassionate communication, diversity, and inclusion. 

A world where people are connected to their purpose and engaged in that work. She empowers her clients to be the architects of that future together.
