Hi, my name is Celeste Mayer.  After a long career in health care I’m now doing what I love and supporting other’s growth through coaching.  I really enjoy coaching teenagers and young adults – Zoomers!  Why this age group?  I believe that giving young people the support they need to recognize their own agency can change the world!  I also use my coaching skills in my other job as a SAFe Scrum Master/Team Coach for a team at the Veterans Health Administration.

I’ve lived a full life with plenty of ups and downs.  I’ve been kicked out of dance school and then became a nurse.  Found myself at life’s crossroads after a divorce so I went back to graduate school to change careers.  In grad school, I was very fortunate to be awarded a NASA grant for my dissertation research and had a coveted internship with the NTSB.  I earned a PhD in Human Factors Psychology and went back into health care to be the first Patient Safety Officer at a large academic medical center.  What else?  I was a step-mother to a teen and made lots of mistakes (Kate, I hope you forgive me!) and my husband and I have a son George in college.  I love to garden (veg and flowers) and knit.  I take my own physical, emotional and spiritual health seriously.

Now, at this stage of my life, helping Authenticship grow so that more can have access to the wonderful benefits of having a coach is how I want to be a positive force for good
