He is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the Advanced Certification in Team Coaching (ACTC), with 20+ years leading teams and operations, more than 2,500 coaching hours and more than 130 leaders coached.

Executive Coaching
One-to-one work with senior leaders and founders. Client-led sessions focused on the goals you set, the patterns that hold you back, and how you lead under pressure.
Team Coaching
Coaching for an intact team, together. The focus is trust, communication and how the team makes decisions, so progress shows up in everyday collaboration.
Leadership Development
Programs that build self-awareness, compassion, resilience and focus across your leaders, grounded in mindfulness practice and ICF professional standards.
Executive Team Facilitation
Facilitated sessions for senior leadership teams: aligning on priorities, working through hard conversations, and leaving with clear agreements and next steps.
Leadership Assessments
Structured assessments that give a leader an honest picture of strengths, blind spots and impact on others, used as the starting point for development.
A clear process, from first call to lasting change.
