I've spent my career in rooms where big things are about to happen and usually with the people who were ready to make them happen. Today, I coach executives, founders, and accomplished professionals through the moments that matter most; growing their business, confronting their leadership edges, navigating career pivots, and crossing the threshold when what got you here won't get you there.
I know these moments because I've lived them. I've been an executive, entrepreneur, founder, solopreneur, consultant, coach, and advisor. I've worked at some of the biggest entertainment companies in the world, BMG, EMI, to helped launch and grow startups. I loved the creative energy, the big ideas, the people.
On my last day at my last corporate gig, the CEO offered me a piece of advice I Initially took as a compliment: Talk more about what you do, because you're great at it. It took me years to understand what he was really telling me. It wasn't about self-promotion. It was about leadership. I was being deferential when he wanted passion, playing it safe when he wanted opinions. He was naming a pattern I couldn't see yet. I've since learned it's one of the most common patterns in leadership; it just looks different at every level. The executive who won't have the hard conversations. The founder who holds on too tight. The CEO who is involved in all key decisions. I see it everywhere now. It's often the first thing I listen for, not to point out what's wrong, but because naming it is what lets someone stop managing around it and start moving toward something real.
I followed my instinct into entrepreneurship, helping launch and grow online music companies before starting my own entertainment marketing company. Some of it was exhilarating and a lot of it was humbling.
Decades of deep personal work, coaching, meditation, recovery, spiritual practice, and therapy that goes back longer than my coaching career eventually led me to a realization: the work I'd always been doing was, at its core, the work I was meant to do. Seeing people clearly. Asking the questions they haven't asked themselves yet. Helping them move toward something, not away from something. Coaching is where my love of business and human development come together. It's not what I do because I couldn't figure out what else to do. It's the work I was always doing. I just didn't have a name for it yet.
I'm a PCC-certified coach through the International Coach Federation, a certified Integral Facilitator, a graduate of NYU's coaching program and Naropa University's Authentic Leadership program, and an ward-winning Vistage Chair and have taught, trained and mentored other coaches. I offer a relationship, a challenge, and a genuine belief that you are capable of more than you can currently see.
