Having worked more than 30 years as a CEO and in other C-level positions, I know what I’m talking about. My primary work is in coaching executives, leaders, and others trying to do big things. Often these are founders and CEOs who want to transform both their businesses and their personal lives. We work on leadership, strategy, culture, execution, and performance. I regularly facilitate leadership off-sites to determine priorities and key initiatives, get clear on culture and values, and improve team health.

But the most important work my clients do is deeply personal. Like them, I’ve faced disappointment, shame, betrayal, and all those things we imagine we can push aside. I share my foundational mindset that we all travel a hero’s journey to get from where we are to where we want to be, overcoming dragons and obstacles in our path. I help my clients look at what is real.

• We talk about the choices they’ve made and the choices ahead of them on their path, no matter what life has dealt them.

• We work together to see and challenge the beasts blocking their paths and limiting their vision--the fear, shame, and other assumptions that are often of their own making.  We replace these with belief and courage.

• We get raw and gritty when we need to, as we do the deliberate work required to move forward with ownership, empathy, and creativity. 

This web page is part of my own journey, and I embrace its beginning as I invite you here to consider your own paths.
