Helping individuals, teams, and companies excel

I specialize in coaching corporations, teams, and individuals on how to observe, understand, and change interaction and behavior patterns, and to quickly begin to operate more truthfully and effectively. My work focuses on action and in-the-moment experiential learning, not theory. I am able to teach you to positively change ineffective or abrasive communication and behavior into effective, powerful communication and behavior. My clients learn to be aware of and to shape the impact of their behavior and actions on the people around them quickly, directly, and powerfully.

"He who reigns within himself and rules his passions, desires, and fears is more than a king."

~ John Milton (1608-1674) English Poet

Because each company's or individual's situation is unique, I use no "formula" or pre-designed programs with my clients. My entire focus and working method is to bring awareness to, teach, and empower my clients to create and successfully implement their own new behavior patterns and procedures. Rather than trying to change people, I teach them how to be more effective versions of who they already are.

I believe that one reliable measure of my success with my clients is how quickly my clients become so good at their new effective behaviors that I have, in effect, made myself obsolete. The results of my work are easily measured. Either the company, team or individual becomes noticeably more effective in action, or specific personal, structural or personnel changes emerge which will remedy the issue.
