My Purpose

I’m a coach.

As a coach, I have three obligations. The first is to be honest with people and companies and, in doing so, challenge them with ideas, concepts and conversations that might not be comfortable, but are necessary.

The second is to help them through that experience and to offer strategies and tactics to grow from it.

Finally, it is to lead by example. The concepts, strategies, and tactics I share with others are the same ones I employ in my life everyday. At work. In relationships. In friendships. As a parent.

This is truly who I am.
