As a leader, your advancement depends on managing key relationships and intensifying contact when necessary. I coach executives, leaders and managers to develop the skills needed to manage contact with others. You then move to a much higher level of interpersonal effectiveness with less stress, more balance and a competitive edge that will position you for a win/win.

I coach executives, leaders, business owners and project managers to:

Renew your vision and carry it forward so it inspires others
Re-evaluate your goals so you can stand behind them all the way
Restore life-work balance so you are doing your work and it isn’t doing you
Build relationships and creative alliances that will be strategic in furthering your goals
Have powerful conversations with precise impact
Create accountability and higher performance in your direct reports
Track communication within projects for smooth development and high growth
Develop a leadership or management style that leads to full utilization of team potential
Turn potential conflicts into opportunities and dynamic partnerships
Predict and prevent and impending crisis, or optimize opportunity in a crisis that can’t be averted

I also coach bright, high potential individuals, especially IT, technical, service and health care professionals to:

Develop key leadership skills necessary for career advancement
Magnify your executive or professional presence and profile
Read other people and situations with much greater accuracy
Make pivotal gains in emotional and relational intelligence that will anchor success

A favorite quote:

“We cannot put off living until we are ready. The most salient characteristic of life is its coerciveness: it is always urgent, ‘here and now’ without any possible postponement. Life is fired at us point-blank.”
---Jose Ortega Y Gasset

“Your coaching allowed me to focus on several corporate and personal issues that had been nagging me for a long period of time. Our discussions allowed me time to reflect on possible solutions and to see these issues in context with the important things in my life. These moments of reflection also allowed me to develop a balanced view of my personal and professional lives. Thus, I have become more productive in both areas.”
Lawrence Hentz, Vice President of PBS&J, Engineering, Planning, Surveying and Construction Services
