Development Coach and Guide
Greater Los Angeles Area
I've been the chief bottle washer and chief executive officer. I get the dynamics of teams and groups and how to navigate the inevitable emotional undercurrents. I've had 300 employees who trusted me to make payroll on Friday and I've coached hundreds of leaders to reach their potential. People tell me that after we work together they feel less knotted up, more aligned, more grateful, more in the zone, less afraid, compassionate toward others, and able to stand in the midst of the storms. My goal is to inspire and guide transformational change and development for people and organizations.
