I've been in your shoes.
I've been a business owner and leader in many settings, from running a $2M family business that was profitable every year of its 65-year existence to growing a franchise from zero to 130 accounts. Along the way, I've earned awards for leading sales into 275 of the Fortune 1000 companies, coach-consulted clients to 7-to-1 returns on their coaching investments and facilitated men's programs that have created sea-changes in their lives.
What have I learned in all this?
Relationships, alignment with values and a sense of life-purpose are the real bottom line in life. That's what I bring to my work with clients.
