I believe most people want to do good things, but need to align so their combined efforts work together rather than cancel out. People thrive when this alignment happens within them or around them and can lead to a very powerful flow state. I help set the conditions and small moves to allow this to emerge.

Our Westernized style of work and life is quite logical and structured, at least at first glance. However as humans, we aren’t this simple, and I think this mechanistic style is quite limiting. Virtually all humans want to and will develop anyway, yet we typically aren’t tuned into this, nor do we recognize its immense impact on everyone’s life.

I found I can deliver more impact with less compromises by working just outside of the traditional power structure. As an independent coach/consultant, I can have far more candor and be of greater service during times of resistance.

I am a partner in your journey. I hold my clients accountable, but won’t force something that isn’t wanted. Rather, we explore together what you want and what you resist to build capability toward your destination by making more informed choices.

I am not a therapist, nor am I a counselor. I can develop close relationships with clients because of their deep needs, but I am always focused on moving with you, where you want to go. At times, I may take the lead by offering patterns that likely work better and may even directly provide skills training. However, you are always in charge of your transformation.

Getting stressed out in some major change initiatives when I was an employee. From these situations, I learned about my own fears of control and failure. I also discovered that when I was fearful I couldn’t bring my full self to work. Had I been fully present, I would have found positive resolution much faster than how I responded from a place of fear and stress.

Skills training and high-powered problem solving are not missing from what I do. Frankly, much of the improvement efforts are built on models that do not account for your unique and complex situation. A multi-discipline and multi-modal approach is far more likely to give you the sustainable shift usually sought because it is vastly more comprehensive. You will embody your transformation.

This work has helped me to recognize my own humanness. It has opened me up to far more in the world and in my own personal life than was available before. It continues to deepen my own transformation.

I enjoy endless play with my daughters and watching them grow with my wife. I love hiking, camping, reading, watching movies that make me think and feel, and dancing (badly) to a variety of music.
