Unlike teams who have a common goal, group coaching supports people who come together with a common interest but do not always have the same goal.
• Group members may or may not work together.
• Each person has their own goals and outcomes to which they apply their new skills.
• Clients benefit from peer learning and collective wisdom of the group.
• Sessions can focus on goal setting, deepening awareness around key issues, taking action, accountability and more.
• Group coaching can open up communication between silos or group members in different parts of an organization.

It’s difficult the excel if you’re not comfortable bringing your full self to relationships and the workplace. I get it. I've struggled with adversity and diversity since I was a child.

Coaching is about the process, and I am a process guy. I don’t need a deep dive into your industry or expertise. The first thing to know about me is: I get stuff done. I call it GSD. My role is to is to guide you to achieving your desired outcomes. Sometimes that's guiding you from point A to point B. Sometimes it's helping you figure out your point B. And often times it's supporting you to raise awareness, shift perception, and change behaviors to hit your goals and increase your success. My clients have called me…the workplace therapist, boat rocker, system viewer, change wizard, dot connector, truth teller, and keep it real coach. They’ve told me I bring needed levity and humor to difficult situations. I excel at shaking hands and kissing babies and building trusted relationships. I’m the guy who gets people to buy into personal and professional growth and change before they buy out.
You value authenticity, transparency, and accountability. You’ve got a sense of humor. You’ve got a super highway vs. single lane mindset. You want to build a positive and lasting legacy. You embrace change. You embrace DEI. You aren’t just looking for a quick fix. You don’t run from ah-ha’s. You can appreciate a direct and honest approach . You desire to be a ripple effect leader, manager or entrepreneur. You believe in sharing your growth and learning with your team or organization in hopes to create a positive ripple effect and improve the employee experience and customer experience for others. After all, we don’t live in a vacuum. Your success has a direct impact on the success of your organization, or if an entrepreneur, on the success of your business. And when you accelerate your performance you accelerate the performance of your team and organization.
Coaching is not a one size fits all. Whether you are interested in one-to-one coaching, team coaching, or group coaching, the offerings and process can be customized to meet your goals. Whether you are trying to accelerate your performance, navigate your career path, build a business, align your team for success or anything in between, together we can create a package or options to fit your goals and your budget. It all starts with a discovery call to discuss your specific needs and goals and determine what offerings are the best fit for you.
For nearly 20 years I have worked in the trenches of change management and transformation. I have observed and experienced what can go wrong and why: unprepared leadership, frustrated employees, failed projects and pissed off customers. I’ve also observed and experienced what can go right and why: prepared and committed leadership, engaged employees, successful projects, and happy customers.
I support you in making things go right. I want to make a positive difference for you and the people in your organization.

Coaching is about the process, and I am a process guy. I don’t need a deep dive into your subject matter or industry expertise. I work with you or your team to get stuff done. To make progress. To accelerate performance. To guide you from point A to point B.
My coaching work focuses on increasing self-awareness, identifying patterns and ways to shift perception or change behaviors to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. I coach individuals and teams to survive and thrive through personal and professional change and adversity, overcoming challenges that impact success to achieve rapid results.
I understand adversity and diversity; I’ve lived it. As a member of the LGBTQ community and person with A.D.D, I’ve faced the impacts and stereotypes of being viewed differently and learning differently. And I have worked at strategies to overcome those, both personally and professionally.
I coach people at all levels from executives, to middle management, and all the way down to emerging leaders and interns. I also work with entrepreneurs of growing businesses. I stay engaged in service delivery across various industries to ensure my coaching guidance is tested in the real world and that my perspectives and approach remain fresh and relevant.
I’m an author on various topics of organizational development and leadership and the creator of the Recruitment and Retention Lifecycle ™. I have a Masters in Organization Development & Leadership (MSOD) with a focus in behavioral science from American University and the NTL Institute. I’m a certified Scrum Master (CSM) and also certified in various strategy, change, team dynamics and behavioral assessment tools. I hold a government security clearance. I am also a certified coach and member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF.)
I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. Some find me to be more like a shot of tequila. If you’re looking for a cup of Chamomile, we’re probably not a match. If you are ready to get to root causes, embrace growth, hop on the change highway, receive direct yet empathetic feedback, and can appreciate a call-it-like-they-see-it guide to support you to accelerate performance and achieve rapid results, then let’s talk!
You know yourself the best. We collaborate to accelerate your performance and achieve your goals. Quick fixes or band-aids don't produce long term positive results. Commitment to continuous improvement does.
Change is never easy but that shouldn't stop progress. I collaborate with those not afraid to tackle changes head on and create a positive and successful transformation for themselves and those around them.
It is possible to achieve rapid results and meet your desired outcomes. I actually prefer it that way. No need to drag things out. Once we meet agreed to goals, we can move on to achieving even more results.
I believe in being authentic. You should, too. Authenticity leads to trust. Transparency leads to trust. Accountability leads to trust. And without trust, achieving long term positive results can prove difficult.
I try my hardest to maintain a positive, yet realistic, working relationship. I don't claim things are easy when they can be quite complex. I do try and steer clear of negativity. The most successful clients do the same.
My focus is you. People can fear change. They need their voices heard. They need empathy from from a coach. Empathy supports you to adopt new behaviors and actions and adapt to changes to increase your success.
