Tricia embodies optimism, a commitment to growth, and the ability to see multiple truths without judgment. She is a dedicated and collegial professional who sets a remarkable example for others. I'm proud to call Tricia a trusted professional colleague and friend.
She has been instrumental particularly in her role in coaching school leaders in supporting their growth and development, Tricia's ability to empower and inspire those in leadership positions is a testament to her leadership and coaching skills.
Working with Tricia was a much needed a kick in the butt and a healing experience. Tricia helped me interrogate how my identity as a woman of color, specifically an Asian woman, has led me to be the utility player, the "get it done" gal, the dumping ground--and what am I going to do about it? How do I empower myself rather than wait for others to recognize and reward me? How does the very act of asking for what I need and want become an act of empowerment? How do I take a moment, pause, and actually acknowledge what I need and want when I've always been solely mission-driven and loyal to the "cause" and the organization while ignoring my own development and satisfaction? These questions may seem obvious to others, but even after reading texts like How Women Rise, I didn't know how to fully internalize the mindset and take concrete steps. I was careening toward burnout. Thank goodness I was able to connect with Tricia, who, through a combination of breath and mindfulness moments, and her deep listening and probing questions, helps you identify what you need and what to do next. She gets what it means to navigate through workspaces that are rife with white supremacy and patriarchy, and what we need to do to be both strategic and our full selves. Coaching with Tricia is transformative.- Client
Tricia's experience, perspective, and insight are invaluable to the communities and organizations she's a part of. She takes the time to get to know others deeply and sees both the best in people and where they can still learn and grow. When offering folks that feedback, her communication rooted in warmth and honesty makes her pushes very difficult to resist, in all the best ways. Tricia is, simply put, an excellent coach, equity warrior, and human being; I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with her.
