I offer:
1.) One-on-one coaching –that meets you where you’re at, and then sounds the call for you to rise. My specialty? Courage. Connection and integrity are also part of the ride.
2.) E-programs that are bursting with content, audio, media, interviews–as much love as I can pack into one digital product. And you can take this to the bank: “No bullshit–just real work.”
3.) Consulting for life coaches who are ready to make strategic jumps–whatever you bring, we’re going to leverage it and give you a practical, action-oriented list so that you can cut through the overwhelm and really see movement. No lofty philosophizing on business, here–it’s straight strategy for growing your coaching practice.
4.) I want to rally your crowd: invite me to your business or event, and we’ll talk about how working with fear instead of against it will have you and your employees playing a revolutionary new game. Coaching organizations will appreciate what I have to say about cultivating integrity and courage in the coaching industry and within one’s coaching practice. Entrepreneurs will resonate with my call to practice courage and integrity–even when the future is uncertain.
There are a few things about my approach that are radically different courageously refreshing:
One: I do not believe in “eliminating” (or bashing, killing off, or ending) fear. I believe in practicing courage–a huge difference, as trying to eliminate fear is an exercise in futility and practicing courage is about love and acceptance. (It’s also the only thing that really works).
Two: I believe in practicing courage. Courage is: feeling afraid, diving in anyway, transforming.
Three: I do not believe in calling critical voices “monsters” or “gremlins.” We’re all on this planet to live lives of joy through loving and accepting ourselves and others. I challenge you to play a bigger game than that of name-calling the parts of yourself that are harder to be with. Hatred will not transform what you’re trying to shift.
Four: For those critical voices, I use the more objective term “the inner critic.” I do not believe in “silencing” the inner critic. I believe in understanding it fully, and then setting up appropriate boundaries so that it cannot run one’s life.
It’s important to me that people see that the perspective I’m coming from is one rooted in love and acceptance of the highest order. This is not fluffy work. It’s the hardest work most people will ever do, and it requires some seriously courageous shifts. Click here to get started.

what’s your life vision?
Very simple: My life vision is to completely and totally love and accept myself, so that I can completely and totally love and accept everyone else, and thus facilitate healing in the world.
With courage, presence, integrity and gentleness, I work on this vision every single day.
anything else?
I love…essential oils, Pema Chodron, tattoos, spending the afternoon thumbing through home decorating books, running road races, hanging out at libraries, lattes from Peet’s, connecting with friends, and that delicious moment of unwrapping and cracking open a brand-new hardcover ruled Moleskine notebook.
