First, about you: I assume you have a small business and you’re starting to make a bigger impact. Or you’re a leader within a larger business and you’re challenging the status quo because you have a bigger vision.
I help business people like you get leverage on your one greatest asset — yourself.

The Story behind My Business Experience
I have been very fortunate to do many things over the years (if you want more of the story, check it out here). I also spent years trying to find the work that I was excited about and that played to my strengths. Mentors, clients and colleagues along the way gave me tremendous help.
I was able to coach business people to take bigger risks, learn how to manage people more effectively and I started a consulting practice within an executive coaching firm. We had a diverse client base: non-profits, social enterprises and technology companies.
I got to do a lot of interesting things like travel to (and live in) world class cities, learn other languages, I got a black belt in the martial art of aikido, earned my private pilot’s license, and we even moved the family to Shanghai, China for a few years.
But I was too individualistic and prideful in how I looked at business and really life in general. Then I went through a four year period of humbling and severe testing. I re-examined my career, my family, faith commitments–all of it–and I came through it clearer, lighter and energized to make my mission about helping others as much as getting ahead myself. Eventually I figured out that all the things I have learned the last 20+ years might help others if I shared them.
I discovered it’s important to know your purpose in life, your personal WHY.
My WHY is to connect people to their origins and the source of their strength.
