I work with leaders: entrepreneurs, managers, designers, producers, lawyers, filmmakers, and writers. These leaders are also partners, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and neighbors. Being a leader is not about your job or even your relationships.

People don't hire coaches when everything's going perfectly. They hire coaches when something is off. People hire coaches to help them overcome or achieve something that they haven’t been able to on their own. For this reason, coaching by definition brings out resistance.

Presence, passion, and purpose are key ingredients of a meaningful life, and yet, without energy, they become almost impossible to prioritize. Energy coaching is a form of life coaching focused on helping you unlock your natural vitality so you can thrive in a life you love.

The decisions that have the biggest impact are not necessarily the ones we spend the most time thinking about. We tend to over emphasize the “big” decisions in life—what job to take, who to marry, where to live—when it’s actually the day-to-day decisions that matter most.

In the past few years, and especially since the pandemic, video has become the default technology for engaging from different locations. I still conduct most of my remote coaching sessions over Zoom, but I’ve noticed that coaching on the phone has some advantages.

The seasons factor significantly into how we feel. Yet most of us forget we’re creatures who are influenced by the forces of nature. This makes us prone to lower emotional states and physical symptoms during seasonal transitions. Here’s what happens in spring.

On the surface, coaching and therapy can feel similar. You talk, we listen. Often there’s some emotional discomfort involved. Usually the client is looking for help getting to a better place. However, there are important distinctions between these two modalities.
