I work with values-oriented professionals who are leading themselves or their organization through change and transition. This includes C-level executives, performance artists, career explorers and solo-preneuers.
The thing they all have in common? They take their own life and work seriously and want to maximize their experience. They value partnership to thrive and respond to the rapid need for a sense of direction through the change process.
For those at the center of a team, department or company, how you respond and act influences the lives of so many around you, including your own business. Coaching will push you to hold yourself accountable for navigating change in a professional, productive manner.
Coaching also gives you a safe place to vent, release your frustrations, and take the burden of change off your own shoulders for a while. You don’t have to do this alone. I’ve heard it all before and nothing you say will throw me off my game. I’m here for you, and all I care about is helping you reach the goals and milestones you set for yourself. There’s no judgment, no agenda, and no nagging here.
My gift in this life is my belief, knowledge and experience that humans are capable of being and creating lives, careers and businesses that surpass their greatest dreams and create positive influence in the world.
My mission is to help innovative, creative, daring and driven individuals, businesses and teams to get more of the results they want in their lives and careers.
I have put years of study and practice into serving individuals and organizations. My super-power is seeing the greatness and talents within each person. You need to keep doing what you do best, And you need coaching as a way to rise and exist at the level that helps you thrive.

Coaching is a very popular word right now and can include many definitions and applications. When you work with me I want you to know:
LEARN ABOUT OUR SERVICES
Coaching with me is like improv. Meaning I don’t have a curriculum to put you through. But I do have decades of tools, exercises and practices that I can use. In addition I commit to ongoing development to keep serving my clients.
I will never be “proud” of you. What? Some people worry about things falling off the plan and think I’ll be upset. Any plans we put into place are only as valuable as they are applicable. If a plan doesn’t work, then you and I will discuss what got in the way. Examples: wrong plan, taking too much on, things have changed. A plan that doesn’t work is only feedback.
We will have fun. My clients are working on big goals, big changes and sometimes have felt all alone in the midst of those endeavors. I do serious work with my clients and also guarantee that our sessions feel good, safe and regenerative. There’s always room for a good laugh!
Coaching is based on utilizing curiosity and naturally incorporates your whole life. And it's essential that you know that you set the boundaries. Some people have concerns about me inquiring about certain parts of their life, but you’ll open up the doors of your life at the pace that feels correct for you.

I’ve got a long term commitment to red hair dye.
My dog Crosby is my best-buddy. He is a great road-dog and a frisbee athlete.
Exploration inside (meditation, journaling, ongoing learning) and out (travel, eating adventurously) makes me tick. I’ve never met a life-experience that I wasn’t curious about.
