As a former Silicon Valley executive, I’ve been there. I know you. You are giving your all to your job, working long hours, and yet, coming up empty. You’re finding there’s nothing left for you.

Let me guess :

What you have is overwhelm. What you crave is balance.

Have you tried multiple time management tools and techniques, but found that none of them could get to the heart of what you need?

I’ll let you in on a simple but powerful secret: Time management isn’t about how much time you have, or how many things you have to do. Everyone has the same 24 hours each day.

Time management is about managing your thoughts, your emotions, how you show up, and what you create with your time.

Stress, anxiety, frustration, doubt, depression -- these emotions are all “time-killers.”

I’ll help you discover and eradicate your time-killers, making you more productive, and helping you create more time to do the things you really want to do.

Do you believe that the price for your success is stress?

It doesn’t have to be that way. When you discover that it’s the way that you think about things that actually causes stress, you uncover your true power: Your thoughts.

Our brains are wired to help us avoid stress. But, avoidance only perpetuates stress. I can help you harness the power of your mind so you can learn to solve at the root, let go of thoughts and behaviors that don’t serve you, and strategically choose the thoughts and belief systems that will break the stress cycle, clearing your path to forward motion and success.

As a high-achieving professional, you’re intimately familiar with goal-setting tools and principles and you’ve earned your share of success.

But, sometimes the goals that really matter are personal, intangible, or long term goals. Sometimes you know you want to move forward, but you’re unsure of your next steps.

This can feel really frustrating; you’re at the top of your game, you’ve conquered countless obstacles, so why are you stuck now?

I can show you how to use your mind to unleash self-confidence in ways you’ve never experienced before. You’ll learn how to use your perceived obstacles as the rungs in the ladder that will take you where you really want to go.

I’ll help you dispel the thoughts and belief systems that are holding you back, and create a mindset that will empower you and propel you forward to what’s next for you.

You’ve learned the hard way that being driven comes with a cost. You keep hearing from the people in your personal life that they need more of your time, but you can’t figure out how to make that happen. Meanwhile, at work, you feel like you’re repeating yourself in order to see results.

I can help you up-level your relationships.

Acquire a greater understanding of others and develop a higher level of communication that builds authentic connections and allows you to reach common ground with anyone.

When you allow people to be who they uniquely are, it makes room for true understanding and acceptance. This leads to deeper connections and more authentic, productive and fulfilling personal and professional relationships.

Success or a full and balanced life:

Choose one.

Wrong.

You don’t have to give up your position and career advancement goals to achieve life balance.

Let’s work together to identify the things that you can and should give up. Learn to shed the thoughts and belief systems that aren’t serving you.

You can learn how to reduce stress and create more free time just by changing your way of thinking. Start enjoying the success you’ve worked so hard to achieve, right now!

If you define yourself by your past, you will never move beyond where you are today. To define yourself by your future is to engage your imagination, and that is where all possibilities lie.

What is Coaching ?

It’s discovering the power within yourself to challenge your belief systems and explore new ways of thinking that will transform your trajectory, bring you success, and enhance your life experience.

What it is

Coaching is about getting outside of your head, and understanding how your brain works.
It’s about realizing that you think thousands of thoughts a day, and you get to choose what thoughts to hold on to, and which ones to let go.
It’s based on proven cognitive psychology and physiology.
It’s about discovering that your thoughts trigger your feelings, and that your feelings inspire your actions.
It’s universal. It helps you gain clarity and purpose at any stage or level of success. It’s about what’s next for you.
It’s about strategically choosing the thoughts and belief systems that will help you shed the emotions and actions that are holding you back, while discovering the mindset that will catapult you forward to achieve your goals, and live the life you know you’re meant for.

What it’s not

Coaching isn’t therapy. While a therapist will listen and validate your feelings, I’ll listen and show you that your thoughts and feelings are your choices. I’ll challenge you to consider new ways of thinking, and engage your imagination to envision the best way to reach your goals.
It’s not counseling. I won’t give you generic rules and lists to live by. This is your unique journey. I’ll curate everything around where you’ve been, where you are, and where you want to go.
It’s not nebulous, or out of reach.
It’s not warm and fuzzy, law of attraction, pie in the sky talk.
It’s not theoretical. My insight comes with 20+ years of tangible, tactical experience as an executive leader and mentor.
I won’t give you advice or tell you what I think you should do. All the answers you need are within you. I’ll help you find them.

“I used to sit back and wait for success to come to me, but now I know that I can strategically project my passion and desire to grow, learn and stretch myself.”
