This work speaks to me in ways that 30 years of senior executive experience never did. This work comes from my heart and a connection to myself and others that pulls at me every day. I am fueled by the energy that comes from coaching and the inspiration I get from my clients and being of service to them.

My own journey guided me here. I didn’t chose to coach, coaching chose me. I saw and experienced firsthand the power of transformative change and the impact a willingness to dig deep and get uncomfortable can have on an individual and organization. It’s funny and maybe counter intuitive to say, but coaching is not for everyone, but for the people and companies that are willing and ready to really do the work, they will understand why this work is so powerful.

The Coach
