Personal Advisor and Coach for Transformation

As a leader with a history of achieving results and growing people, others often come to you for advice. You have the ability to create a vision, enroll others in it, and have the people and strategic skills to produce meaningful results. You have achieved recognition, status and admiration that most people, even your younger self, would be more than happy with.

Yet, you know there is more. You don't need more, but you want more. This more is no longer about you. It is about a sense of purpose that pulls you into responsibility for something greater than yourself. A creation that can not be solely measured in what returns are created for you and your team. There is a bigger impact you want to create for the welfare of the whole system.

Very few leaders see themselves and operate at this level. You have a meta-capacity to separate yourself from the environment you are in. You are able to see your self as a tool to move the entire system forward towards a better future. This is a higher-order consciousness that exceeds the limits of most people. You are in the top 5%, perhaps even less, of leaders in the world. You are built to lead through complex environments, because you internally operate at time horizons and expansive perspectives that most can not see.

The daily demands on you are very real. The time, energy and focus required to keep up with endless urgent items keeps you extreme busy. You have more on your plate than most know how to handle. Others depend on you. You don't have much more time and energy to give, yet your intuition pulls you forward to serve in a bigger way. You know in your soul you are meant to keep going, and it feels lonely sometimes.

In 2015, I became a widower when my 3 boys were 5, 3 and 1 year olds. In those dark days, I dealt with deep grief and excruciating loneliness. It also forced me to face the uncomfortable realities of my high performing ways and question the greater meaning of my life. Over time, with the loving guidance and support of a spiritual master, I dove deeper into my emptiness in ways that I didn't know existed. It was there that I found vast spaciousness.

During that time, I read a book by Richard Rohr called Falling Upward: A Spirituality For The Two Halves Of Life. He says, "The first task is to build a strong “container” or identity; the second is to find the contents that the container was meant to hold." It took me 8 years to have even a rough idea of what my container is meant to hold, while I continued to build it.

It is my life's work to support extraordinary leaders create meaningful outcomes through their work and their lives. I help my clients consciously transform themselves to lead through the demands of an increasingly complex environment, and be the kind of leader who inspires other leaders to do the same.

I know that when these leaders transforms themselves, the positive effects ripple out to their teams, organizations, families, and communities. Selfishly, I get to enjoy seeing the impact of my work through your impact.

Creating meaningful outcomes through your life and work

The program agenda is in you

While most coaches offer structured programs or a defined curriculum, I do not. I don't believe it helps you to fit into a framework that I define. While frameworks may present themselves through our work together, I don't start there. You operate in the top 5% of leaders in the world, there is no set curriculum at this level. How you think/don't think and what actions you take/not take, in the context of your mission will define our work.

From a vision that is meaningful to you; we will define strategies, mindsets, and skills that will turn your vision into reality. You will work on your habits and energy management to operate at your best. Our private leadership sanctuary is where you will speak and I listen. Together, we will untangle whatever it is holding you back. No scripts or formulas. Just two human beings in deep thought partnership. Then, you will step back into your world to take bold action and bring your vision to life.

The transformation of integrated leadership

What I have experienced working with high-impact leaders serving a mission greater than themselves

No longer fighting opposition, but welcoming it.

Opposition by any stakeholder, are not seen as obstacles but as the steps to create outcomes. Oppositional forces are met with openness and love for a greater cause.

It is no longer about fixing something as a leader, there is nothing to fix.

The next level of transformation is about consciously accessing the spectrum of your capabilities. All of the shadows from your early leadership development phases are gifts. You learn how to leverage them and choose to fit each situation. You are unique. Truly unique. When you start accepting your uniqueness, you start to see the uniqueness in others. Collaboration opens up at scale.

The strategies come from within.

If you want to rise, you need to go deeper. If you want expansion, you need to understand your own contraction. If you want to lead through complexity of situations, you need stillness and simplicity. You no longer only look to the outside world for solutions. The next development stage of your growth is through internal depth. Not information, frameworks and thinking tools.

You can not do this alone.

Especially for high performing leaders. You are surrounded by people who depend on you, not grow you. We all need a trusted partner to explore our own depth, we can not do this work by ourselves.

Inside the leadership sanctuary...

A sacred place for you to press pause on your busy schedule, get clear on what is truly important. We will slow everything down to stillness, where your intuition, wisdom and creative energy is accessed. We will discern your intuition by opening your awareness to access creativity in the mind and body. Grounding higher states in your body so you can show up with calmness and presence in your life and work.

Transformation often has less to do with what you do, and more to do with the state of being from which you act. In any situation, who you are being is more important than what you do. Your true intentions arise directly from the state you embody, not your words and actions. When you enter a room, you bring an energetic field. You cannot not resonate who you are being. Others sense you, even when they are not conscious of it. You are the presence you bring to each and every moment. In your work and your life. What presence do you want to embody?

In our work together, you will embody the person that your vision and creation needs you to be.
