Personal Executive Coach
Helping You Make the Meaningful Difference You Are Here to Make
As a personal executive coach, and owner of a few businesses over the last 20+ years, I collaborate with executives, business owners, professionals & aspiring entrepreneurs on a deep, personal and meaningful level. This isn’t your typical ‘professional’ relationship and I’m not your typical business coach.
Because of the safe, non-judgmental, easy-to-be-yourself atmosphere I foster, I am the coach professionals hire privately, even when their company provides or will sponsor a coach.
Though executive coaching has a major focus on business, and is tied to performance and results, my approach to coaching is about being successful on a multidimensional, holistic (whole life) scale. It’s about your personal development & growth, presence, authenticity/integrity, resilience, purpose and fulfillment.
What is professional success worth if it’s not fulfilling and it’s not making a positive difference? Or worse, what is it worth if it erodes some of the things you value most?
Many people are struggling and suffering from a lack of alignment and balance in their lives. They’ve lost touch with their core values or never had clarity about them in the first place.
There comes a time in a person’s life and professional career, when they need to stop, take stock, reevaluate their priorities and their path – gain clarity & motivation, and perhaps even find a new sense of purpose and meaning.
Coaching The Whole Person – Not Just Your Title
As human beings, we are more than just our logical, business minds and we are way more than our titles. As much as one may try to succeed, increased results and better performance will not make a lasting difference to anyone unless their work and achievements are aligned with their core values and authentic self.
They won’t matter much if you’re burned out and lost any shred of resilience either. Therefore, one’s personal life can’t be taken out of the equation. What’s going on for us in our personal lives (mind body and all) significantly affects our work, our performance, our leadership, and our presence on the job and vice versa. Bottom line: coaching is for the whole person – you – and it’s about empowering your authentic self.
Every person is completely unique – who we are at our core, our experiences, our strengths and talents, how we think and feel, what truly drives us, what inevitably holds us back time after time. One type of training or development cannot be all things to all people.
Coaching is a way for a person to become more self aware and empowered to realize or actualize their full potential as the unique human being they are. It’s a process and a relationship, and a pathway for us to learn how to reconnect with the best in us as we leverage our unique strengths, expertise and wisdom in ways that contribute to extraordinary, meaningful and fulfilling results in our personal and professional lives, and to those whose lives we influence and impact.
Who I Work With
I work one on one with executives and entrepreneurs who want to make a meaningful difference, live and lead authentically and fully, and ensure they are getting the most out of life. I often work with:
- Small to Medium-Sized Business owners,

The Impact of Coaching
How it Helps
Whether you are giving yourself the gift of coaching or a member of your organization, having an executive coach is like having a dedicated partner helping you enrich and enjoy all parts of your life, not only maximize your success in business or how far up the ladder you go.
Coaching will help you get clear on what you need to learn and then develop a learning plan with you, that you will fulfill as part of your commitment to learning and growth. As a coach, I believe that you have most of the answers you need within you or you need to learn to generate them on your own and trust them.
You don’t need to hire someone to tell you how you should run your business, do your job or raise your family. Hire me to help you discover and tap into your heart and source of inner wisdom, your authentic self, and apply the power that that rich wisdom possesses into your daily life so you can ultimately create more fulfilling and meaningful results and be a more positive influence.
I tend to go against the grain and oppose conforming to unfair or outdated systems and ideology, so I can be more on-side with what really matters – humanity flourishing. What this means is that you will know and trust I have your back and I’m on your side to help you flourish.

Coaching Is Customized to Your Deepest Needs & Aspirations
Whatever the specific focus your coaching is about, whether it be about purpose, leadership, influence, emotional intelligence, stress management, business growth, personal mastery, balance or anything else important to your overall success, the choice is always completely up to you. Except for a few different exercises, models and tools, the coaching process is the same – because it’s a process & relationship that’s customized to you as you progress through the coaching journey. Of course, we’ll start off designing a growth path that feels right for you and we’ll keep aiming for it as long as it serves you.
At any time, in any session, you can bring any topic, challenge, problem, idea or situation you want to work on – to get clear on, gain a new perspective and to have a sounding board. I will help you explore new options and possibilities and commit to the choice you resolve to make as you increase your levels of self-awareness, creativity, resourcefulness, personal accountability & self leadership.
I will help you gain the confidence & trust in your own unique decision-making process. You will learn to take all the awareness and insights you have gained about your values & priorities and do something meaningful about it. I will help you to Be The Change You Wish To See In The World!
Just in case….
If experience tells me anything, you might be considering coaching now because you’re not in a great place and something’s gotta give. Either your world of work is impacting your personal life – or your personal life is affecting you at work – or both. We’ll get through it together and we’ll take the time and energy needed upfront to bring you back into balance, perspective and strength. This is why restoring and building your resilience will be of key (I am also a Certified HeartMath Resilience Coach Mentor). Then, when you’re ready, we can get to work on all the rest that’s important to you.
The Coaching Investment
I recommend committing to a minimum of 12 coaching sessions in bi-weekly intervals over a period of 6 months (ideally 24 sessions over 12 months) and I am sure you will see that coaching has made a significant difference in your business, your life and your community. If you wish to continue – there is no set length of a coaching engagement. If it’s working for you and you found my approach and support helps you do what you couldn’t do before, let’s keep working together.
Since coaching is so customized to the individual, a custom tailored package will be created after we have an introductory session. Executive Coaching fees start at about $6,000. If you wish to sponsor someone in your organization, please contact me to discuss this so we can ensure there is optimal alignment and a good fit.
How Do You Start?
If this sounds like an approach you wish to pursue, now would be a good time to secure a Coaching Exploration Session or contact me so I can answer any of your questions.
I look forward to hearing from you and would be honored to be your coach!
