If you’re thinking about a coaching engagement, you probably want to know a little about me. Prior to becoming a coach, I was Chief Creative Officer and Co-Owner of a Chicago-based global marketing agency. I loved marketing. What I loved most about it was the relationships (that, and all the free stuff). When we sold our agency, I pursued coaching as a way of creating new relationships that mattered to both of us.

The coaching model of partnering with someone to support and champion them to the best version of themself resonates with the way I live my life. I’m all about keeping it simple, living your values and taking responsibility for creating the life you want.

Responsibility not in a burdensome way, but in a generative, life-on-fire way. There’s a line in the Co-Active Leadership book that says: Life is just more fun when you choose to be responsible. Who’s with me?

It’s your life; how do you take it?

  • You’ve heard the cliché “it’s lonely at the top”? Well, it can be lonely in the middle too. Wherever you are on the org chart (are we still marking those?), I’ve got your back.

    As a former business owner, I bring experience and expertise from working with executives at all levels in nearly every industry, including inside some of the biggest and best-known brands in the world: 

    We’ll get at it through a series of confidential, one-on-one conversations addressing personal insight, motivation and accountability related to the topic(s) you bring.

    As your coach, I’m a champion for you with no other agenda than to help you identify what you want and how to get there.

  • If you’re looking to significantly up level your coaching skills and confidence, a mentor coach is the way to go. If you’re looking to do all that and build a successful, sustainable coaching practice, for sure, you’ve come to the right place.

    As a Master Certified Coach (MCC) and Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and faculty member for the Co-Active Training Institute, I coach coaches through certification and beyond. 

    Every one of my clients, without exception, has passed their exam and earned their CPCC. You will too.

    If you’ve made it this far, I know you’re passionate about doing this work. Me too. Now, let’s make sure your coaching practice is as successful as it is satisfying.
