The unoffical bio…
I was living a divided life.
I bought the lie once I became an executive leader: “It is not safe to talk about leadership struggles.”
I created a false narrative to hold it all together, but on the inside I was frustrated, confused, and angry.
I was the ‘nice guy’ – appearing calm and collected – yet I was lonely and disconnected from my true identity.
I was terrified of being exposed as an imposter.
It took a painful wilderness season for me to see the truth. I had a choice. I could stay stuck in an emotional leadership void, or I could face my silent struggles, begin leading with courage in all my relationships.
Today, I coach executive leaders, teach on organizational health, and train coaches on how to be lead wholeheartedly by overcoming the silent struggles of perfectionism, people pleasing, numbing, exhaustion, and anxiety.
The silent struggle exists in all high performing leaders. Facing it is the first step toward waking up your full potential and leading wholeheartedly.
My Business and Leadership Style
Leadership Profile: Advocate: INFJ, Enneagram 9, Birkman Blue, and DiSC high S. My CliftonStrengths Top 5 are Belief, Futuristic, Maximizer, Individualization, and Discipline. My Grip Spiritual Giftings are Wisdom, Leadership, and Teaching.
I have spent over 20 years in leadership, teaching, and non-proft, coaching and counseling teens, families, and executive leaders and their teams. I have devoted my life to understanding the internal compass that drives individuals who live with meaning. I have researched what makes leaders resilient in the face of chaos, and what tools they use to navigate life’s storms and remain calm and connected to their purpose.
My clients include CEO’s, senior leaders, and high-performers who are pursuing an wholhearted life. They find the secrets to their success, even though on the outside they still experience forces trying to defeat them and the pull of mediocrity.
