'The CEO Coach' helping visionary, gutsy CEOs with a conscience land faster, earn more, have fun, and change the world!
Greater New York City Area
Visionary, gutsy, fun $500K to $1M+ executives with a strong profit motive and a social conscience are my sweet spot.
My clients are entrepreneurial leaders of small- to mid-caps /start-ups, heads of enlightened Fortune companies, or rising stars targeting the C-suite, and they are fascinating to me!
They are not interested in the status-quo and they haven't allowed the personality and passion to be sucked out of them by the demands of work. I help them stop, take a breath, figure out why they tick and how that translates into success -- and then help make them even more successful.
It’s an intense (but FUN) process, so I can work with just 2-3 clients each month doing in depth C-level personal branding, resume, and career momentum projects (that extend for upwards of 4 months). My most recent clients landed in record time, and with an average 25-50% bump in compensation.
A while back I took a fun political quiz that pegged me as a "liberal leaning libertarian" and that contrarian description seems to fit my "profit with a purpose" vision. My unabashedly idealistic (and practical) mantra? "Changing the world one executive at a time!"
I LOVE my job - I get to help the coolest people catapult their careers AND achieve their particular dreams. What's better than that?

June 1989 — Present (20 years 2 months)
I work with driven, visionary senior executives who have the guts to be who they are, create profits/growth for their companies, make necessary tough decisions with care, and concurrently create the change they want to see in their world.
My clients include wildly successful executives, executives building careers, and young “rising stars” with great futures. They are creative, strategic, imaginative, and fun. They care about issues larger than themselves, yet are grounded in what business needs to succeed.
These top leaders often find job search and career management to be among the few areas in which they are unsure of the rules of engagement and unsure of their ability to succeed with speed!
My mission (and honor) is to develop a personal brand, on-line identity, career documents, and networking/interview strategies with these extraordinary executives to propel them to even higher levels of success and influence.
Professional: Personal Branding, Executive Career Issues, Peer Education, Using the power of corporate leadership to effect social change through "capitalism done right!" Personal: Reading (all subjects), history, theatre, dance, museums, birding, politics, gardening.
