Transformative Coaching, Mentoring
and Consulting - for You?

Are you ready to commit to deepening the transformative power of your coaching and consulting?



My coaching programs transform lives and businesses.

At the age of 15, I made my grandma a plaque that read, "We are what we make ourselves."

Seeds of transformation. 

Who knew?  Precious, vibrant, 15-year-old me, apparently!


The elephant in the room that nobody's talking about

What the wiser me has learned in the many years since then: there is always only one thing between any one of us and all we desire - discomfort.

Therefore, I only start with a new client after we've had a deep conversation and you've experience my coaching. We need to agree that together we are a great fit, especially during the discomfort phase.  Because when you and I align our commitment to doing what it takes to move through the discomfort, then you will get amazing results - all you desire . . . and then some!

Sadly, most people aren't willing to hang in there through the discomfort preceding the transformation.  Some won't even start the process.

My coaching programs aren't for everyone.


Commitment

If we decide to work together, our coaching is focused and freeing - I am 100% committed to doing what we need to do to move you through the discomfort into the transformation. 

The work requires the same high level of focus and commitment from you.  The fastest way through the discomfort involves taking inspired action - daily.  Are you ready to have tons of support to begin taking new actions that bring you dramatically different results?

I work with clients one-on-one for a year to start.  I've worked with many clients for several years and one client since 2004. 

My new small-group (for 7 participants) immersion program is 9 months - with in-person retreats, group coaching and one-on-one coaching.  All designed to support you in achieving what you had previously thought impossible!

All of my clients are small business owners because I came out of the womb so excited about self-employment!  Most of my clients are coaches and consultants.  I chose to coach coaches and consultants because we have this amazing opportunity to transform the lives and business of those we serve.  Facilitating, witnessing, teaching and coaching people through this transformation inspires me!


One of the transformation tools I use in all my coaching programs is the StrengthsFinder™ assessment:

The Strengthsfinder™ assessment tells you your top 5 natural strengths - The Gallup folks who developed the StrengthsFinder™ assessment define a strength as “near perfect performance in an activity.”  Engaging in a strength strengthens you.  Engaging in a weakness weakens you.

Part of our coaching then focuses on growing your business based on your strengths and putting into place the four strategies to neutralize your weaknesses.


My own top 5 strengths from my StrengthsFinder™ assessment:

  1. Maximizer
  2. Empathy
  3. Connectedness
  4. Activator
  5. Individualization

The short version of what this means about how I can help you:

  1. I love transforming strong (you) into superb  (you - more of the best of you, more of the time)
  2. I sense the feelings of others
  3. I know that we're all connected and things happen for a reason
  4. I make things happen - turning thought into action
  5. I love supporting people in their uniqueness and in living from their strengths.

My background

I bring to the table: a life-long commitment to my own spiritual growth, 13 years of coaching, consulting and mentoring, 27 years of successful self-employment and 29 years of teaching personal and professional development.

When I'm not coaching, speaking or writing, you'll find me eating sushi, walking in City Park or soaking up the New Mexico desert.


Doing what we had previously thought impossible . . .

We as coaches have this humbling and honoring privilege to serve people in doing what they had previously thought impossible - things that make our clients' lives and the world as a whole a far better place!

I love the illuminating power of coaching and I would love to help you transform more people's lives and work . . .
