Coaching
Helping people realize their most awesome selves and make what they love a central part of their life.
What Is Coaching?
A coach is a guide for helping you see your future, face personal challenge, and create a structure for growth and movement forward. Think of it like having a personal trainer for your mind and soul.
If I have a reason for being here it is to help people realize their most awesome selves. I particularly enjoy helping people discover their passion and purpose in life and make it a central part of what they do.
My Approach
Exploration
Asking good questions to help you identify strengths and problem areas, mobilizing your own tools and truths to make forward progress.
Forward Thinking
Being grounded in the present and moving into the future. Working with who you are now to build a plan that works for you.
Counselling
Sometimes the ties of our past hold us back. Where valuable, I help you identify and release these bonds.
Facilitation
Connecting you with useful resources and people from my network to help you move toward your goals.
Mentorship
Using stories, examples, and challenges to help you learn new skills for leadership, creativity, and self-direction.
Accountability
There is tremendous power in knowing someone knows your goals and will check on them regularly.
My Background
Coaching for me began over 10 years ago in Seattle, Washington as part of the coaching staff for a teamwork laboratory. There we researched and experimented with creating high performance teams through the use of behavioural linguistics.
This experience taught me to design the way that teams speak and communicate to foster the most high functioning, emotionally grounded, and creative environments possible.
Since then I have worked with Fortune 100 companies to individual creatives, helping them get to the heart of their passions, communicate effectively, embrace emotional information, and maximize leadership qualities.

My Philosophy
- 1
Coaching should be practical and focus on reasonable change.
- 2
Take responsibility for where you are in life. Personal responsibility is the beginning of personal power.
- 3
Only through love and acceptance of self can we free ourselves to change.
- 4
Changing your outcomes requires that you first change your philosophy.
- 5
Being centred on principles, and learning to build effective systems and rhythms that build from those principles, is more powerful and rewarding than being centred on a goal.
