What is your biggest challenge that, if overcome, would completely change your life?
If it were simply a matter of knowing the answer to this question, everyone would be living exactly the life they desired. In reality, "knowing" is only half of the journey.
"I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor."

Coaching both within the US and internationally, I offer professional, executive and life coaching, in person and via telephone. While each new client is a welcome addition to my practice, I accept only a small number of engagements at a given time in order to honor the sincerity of our venture.
COVID UPDATE:
I am currently accepting clients on a limited basis for zoom video sessions only. If you are interested in a coaching partnership, please send an email here.
my coaching philosophy
- Diverse and Equal: Everyone is different, and everyone matters; what works for one, may not work for another. We'll work together to find what works best for you.
- Holistic Approach: Everything is interconnected. What happens in one area of life affects other areas. We will work to create harmony in relation to the whole.
- Sustainability: Coaching is not a sprint to the finish, but about progressing at a pace that is sustainable and long-term.
- Curiosity and Courage: If we already had the answers, there would be no questions to ask. We will approach your journey as adventurous and speculative explorers.
my coaching style
- Honest and Direct: My role is to champion your goals and ambitions. I will support you with all of my abilities, and will also challenge you, with deliberate awareness of your personal preferences and ultimate objectives.
- Non-judgmental: There are no right or wrong answers, ideas, or options.
- Solution Focused: I employ a goal-directed, collaborative approach to coaching with the belief that, while the causes of problems may be very complex, their solutions needn't be. We will focus on creating the future you desire rather than dwelling on the past.
- Strengths-based: I believe there is more to be gained by building on strengths than by focusing on weaknesses. What works and what motivates you is more energizing and effective toward achieving your goals than doggedly plugging gaps that may have little to do with the real results you desire.

I believe that coaching is meant for everyone. There are several options available to work with me from self-paced online courses and virtual weekly masterclass groups, to group retreats and one-on-one coaching partnerships. These options allow you to make a choice that will flexibly fit your unique goals, learning style, and budget. Student discounts are frequently available for workshops. For one-on-one partnerships, I require an initial commitment of 12 weekly sessions. A three month pledge ensures that you are committed to making a
concentrated effort and understand that lasting change takes time.
How long we work together depends on what you want to work on, what pace works
for you, and other contributing factors in your life. The goal of coaching is to create sustainable,
self-generating, long-term change, and I will do all I can to make that happen
in the most effective and efficient way possible.
Coaching is a hands-on, experiential process. Each week, we will co-create goals and actionable "homework" to support your unique objectives. However, my strategies don't work unless you do. Your results will directly connect to your level of engagement and commitment to your goals.
