Are you a coach?

Yes. I have more than a decade of executive coaching experience, and coaching is part of what I bring to our conversations.

I also bring the perspective that comes from 50 years of living — building businesses, raising three children, being married for 26 years, and navigating plenty of change along the way.

I’m not interested in following a formula. I’m interested in what’s in front of you — asking honest questions, challenging assumptions and helping you see something differently.

Is coaching the same as therapy?

No. Coaching isn’t therapy or a replacement for professional mental health care.

Therapy can help you understand and heal emotional and psychological challenges. Our conversations are focused on what’s happening now and what you want to do next.

Think: perspective, possibility and forward movement.

What can I bring to a conversation?

Anything that’s taking up more space in your head than you’d like.

A decision you keep circling. A business or leadership challenge. An opportunity you’re trying to make sense of. A difficult dynamic. Or a story you’re telling yourself that may be getting in your way.

You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly formed question.

Bring what’s on your mind. We’ll start there.

How many sessions do I need?

That’s entirely up to you.

Sometimes one conversation is enough to see something differently and know what you want to do next.

Other times, there’s value in continuing the conversation — particularly when you’re navigating something complex, making significant changes or want someone alongside you as things unfold.

There’s no program you need to commit to and no prescribed number of sessions.

Come back when the conversation would be useful.

What if I run into you socially?

Your privacy and trust are non-negotiable.

I will never share who works with me or anything we discuss.

If we cross paths socially, you set the tone. I’ll always take your lead and will never initiate anything that reveals our coaching relationship.

What do I know for sure?

Perspective matters.

We can spend a long time looking at something through the same lens — a decision, a challenge, another person, or even ourselves — without realizing how much that lens is shaping what we see.

I believe there is enormous value in having someone willing to ask the honest question, challenge an assumption or offer another way of looking at what’s in front of you.

Because sometimes a new perspective changes what you see.

And what you do next.
