What is coaching all about?

As a trained, credentialed coach, I provide an ongoing partnership with my clients designed to produce significant and sustained results in their personal and professional lives. I help people improve their performance and enhance the quality of their life experience.

Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. I seek to elicit solutions and strategies from you, the client; I believe you are naturally creative and resourceful. My job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that you already possess. I am not an expert in your life, I am only an expert in the process of your transformation.

You are an amazing human being right this minute. Coaching can add power and velocity to realize your vision. If you want more in your life and are ready to partner with a coach to create it, I'd love to speak with you.

Working with me can be fun, it can be illuminating, and even challenging. But most of all, it can be immensely rewarding.

Coaching is about you, all of you. It's about discovering and empowering the you inside that can and will realize your dreams.

About Me 
I love this crazy experience of life. It's exciting, expansive, scary, achingly beautiful, heart-wrenchingly sad, and sweet beyond my capacity to grasp sometimes. And I am grateful to have tasted so much of it.
My parents moved a lot when I was young. And I seem to have learned that change isn't scary. I am forever in the process of reinvention.
I've lived a lot of different lives, it seems. And I wouldn't trade any of them. I've lived in a tipi. I built a log cabin by hand in the middle of an Adirondack winter. I lived in Africa for 2 years. I've been a doctor for 25 years, represented my profession at the United Nations, and I ran for the New York State Senate. I've built several homes with my own hands and I'm a personal and professional leadership coach.
And I feel like I'm just getting started.
I love being a coach. It is the culmination of all my life's passions and informed by not just my extensive training, but all my varied life experiences.
Call me. Let's talk about the life you will be creating!
