About the Presenter
Paula McLeod is an Executive Coach and the creator of the Women of Dartmouth THRIVE series. She was one of the first women to graduate from Dartmouth, coming to the college in the third class of women. During her Dartmouth years she frequently felt she was an imposter at the Ivy League school. Later in life she came to understand and appreciate her inner critic.

Paula now coaches women to gain courage and confidence so they can enjoy the challenges of life and work as they continue to grow. Because she believes we spend too much time at work to be unhappy and unfulfilled, she is dedicated to her mission of using coaching to help women find their way to success, however they define it.

Paula loves creating programming for Dartmouth women, is an avid sailor, and splits her time between the Chicago suburbs and the island of Nantucket. She recently completed her first short film with her husband Jamie Pfaff D’77, a comedy, A Nantucket Wedding.

She is a Professional Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation and the founder of Success by Design, Inc. and can be reached at Paula@SuccessbyDesignCoaching.com
