Hello and welcome to my website. I've had the pleasure of working with hundreds of successful people in my coaching, consulting, and academic careers. The one thing these people have in common is a sense of calling, a deep sense of joy and purpose in their lives.
I find my greatest sense of calling today as a professional coach and author. As a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and Certified MentorCoach (CMC), I love helping people like you discover their own sense of calling, seeing them reach out to follow their dreams and use their strengths to live with greater joy, success, and vitality.
What about you? Perhaps, like many of my clients, you're standing at a crossroads between your life now and the life you really want.
Would you like to:
- Move to the next level in your professional life?
- Begin an exciting new project or write that book you've been dreaming about?
- Liberate yourself from limiting habits and beliefs to live a healthier, happier life?
As your coach, I can help you build a strong bridge from where you are now to where you'd like to be.
Using strategies from positive psychology that have helped thousands of people flourish, I'll help you discover your own personal strengths, set a goal you can believe in, chart a successful path to your goal, and overcome roadblocks to create the life you've been waiting for.
I am proud to be a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) a leading global organization dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high standards, providing independent certification and building a worldwide network of trained coaching professionals.
In these challenging times, I'm offering a free centering exercise from The Tao of Inner Peace Just click on this link and I'll email it to you.

Why choose an ICF credentialed coach?
Anyone can claim to be a coach because the coaching profession is not currently regulated by the government. However, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) upholds the highest coaching standards, with a professional code of ethics and core competencies as well as advanced education and proficiency exams required for every ICF credentialed coach.
