What Leaders Ask Before Working Together

I work with entrepreneurs, founders, and senior executives who are navigating meaningful transitions in their lives and leadership.

Many are in midlife or what I call their Third Act. They have built successful careers and organizations, carried significant responsibility, and now feel a pull toward a more honest, aligned, and purposeful way of living and leading.

They are thoughtful, capable people who are no longer interested in surface-level solutions. They want depth, clarity, and work that reflects who they are becoming.

Clients often come to me at moments of quiet reckoning or clear disruption.

They may feel successful yet disconnected, restless, or out of alignment. Some are facing leadership transitions, exits, reinvention, or changes in relationships. Others are questioning long-held definitions of success and wanting to lead from truth rather than pressure or expectation.

Sometimes there is a clear challenge to address. Often there is a deeper knowing that something wants to change.

Before becoming a coach and counselor, I spent over 20 years as an executive in the technology and telecom sectors. I led teams, managed organizations, navigated growth and complexity, and lived the realities of senior leadership from the inside.

That lived experience deeply informs my work. I understand the pressures leaders face, the isolation that can come with responsibility, and the cost of staying misaligned for too long.

Alongside that experience, I bring training in neurobiology, mental health counseling, transpersonal psychology, and contemplative practice. The work is practical, human, and grounded in real-world leadership.

My work focuses on the whole person, not just performance or outcomes.

We pay attention to how you lead, decide, relate, and regulate under pressure. We explore identity, meaning, nervous system patterns, and self-trust alongside strategy and action.

This is not about fixing or optimizing you. It is about creating the conditions for clarity, courage, and leadership that feels true and sustainable.

It is best described as integrative coaching and counseling.

The work is forward-focused and practical, while also allowing space for reflection and emotional intelligence. We are not endlessly revisiting the past, but we do honor what has shaped you so that you can choose with greater freedom going forward.

Clients often say this is one of the few places where their inner life and outer leadership are welcomed together.

Clients commonly experience greater clarity in decision-making and a renewed sense of confidence and self-trust.

Many feel relief from chronic pressure, anxiety, or over-functioning. Relationships often become more honest and grounded. Leadership begins to feel more embodied, humane, and aligned with personal values.

Perhaps most importantly, clients often reconnect with a sense of purpose and aliveness that had been muted by years of responsibility or striving.

Yes. Many of my clients are high-performing entrepreneurs and executives.

This work is not about stepping away from leadership or ambition. It is about redefining success in a way that is sustainable, meaningful, and aligned with who you are now.

For some, that means leading differently within their current role. For others, it means consciously shaping what comes next.

I respect that my clients carry full lives and significant responsibility.

Sessions are intentional, focused, and designed to create real movement. This is often one of the few spaces where leaders do not have to perform, manage perception, or hold everything together.

The work integrates directly into your life and leadership rather than adding another demand.

Most clients work with me in ongoing one-on-one engagements that allow for depth, trust, and integration over time.

We begin by listening carefully to what is emerging in your life now and shaping our work around that. There is no formula or preset program. The work unfolds in response to where you are and what is asking for attention and courage.

Yes. Confidentiality is foundational.

Many of my clients hold public-facing or senior roles, and the space we create together is private, respectful, and fully confidential.

This work tends to resonate if you are reflective, open, and willing to be honest with yourself.

If you sense that a transition is unfolding, if you are ready to listen more deeply to your own truth, and if you want change that is both meaningful and grounded, this work may be a good fit.

The first step is a conversation.

You are invited to reach out to explore whether working together feels aligned. There is no pressure, only an opportunity to listen for what is next and see if this partnership supports that unfolding.
