The best version of you is waiting to emerge.
Fear, often created by your own thoughts can quietly limit your professional potential, cloud your judgment, and distort your confidence as a leader.

​

Your team, colleagues, and even family already see your capacity for greatness. They believe in you and want to see you succeed. You inspire them to perform at their best.

Don’t keep them, or yourself, waiting any longer.


Unlock your full potential through Executive and Life Strategy Coaching and lead with purpose, clarity, and confidence.

My life journey

1972

Hiking alone in the Canadian wilderness 50 miles from civilization, I lost my map. Even after I found it, I was still lost because I couldn’t read it. Knowledge (a map) doesn’t create mental freedom. Knowing how to act upon that knowledge brings freedom.

Starting campfires in the pouring rain of the Minnesota wilderness taught me that success results from your mindset, attention to detail and consistent practice.

 I lost situational awareness and failed to intercept a hostile nuclear aircraft as a young U.S. Air Force intelligence officer. Such a massive breakdown taught me that failure is necessary to learn.

A senior Air Force officer berated me for giving him only superficial information on a target. I quickly learned to ask good questions to get good answers. Hard questions reveal intent and insight to better grasp the full picture.

My amazing son – born with autism – teaches me every day that life is simultaneously simple and complex with every changing moment.

Action reveals beliefs, not what you know. I heard about parachutes, but until I jumped out of a plane I didn’t authentically believe that they worked. Authentic belief begins with action.

A gentlelady retired from a seven-figure career that was filled with anxiety and emotional pain. She never reconciled her success with comments from her childhood about her limited potential. You create your emotions through your perceptions. Challenge your beliefs.

A successful business owner lacking fulfillment transformed his devastating beliefs about himself into a growth mindset. He developed a concise vision and a map to make it happen through serving others with gratitude. Do something that matters to those around you to feel truly fulfilled and free.
