Exciting news: I've joining Vistage, the world's largest CEO coaching and peer advisory organization!
After a decade of successfully coaching individuals and small businesses, I'm leveraging my experience to serve leaders and high achievers in the business community.
Vistage provides the perfect platform, offering all the resources and support I need to realize my goal of empowering CEOs and business owners to reach new heights.
I'm now two months into building a peer advisory group of 12 CEOs and business owners from the Bay Area. It's been a steep learning curve of learning, growth, and moments of overwhelm!

Quarter-Life-Crisis: Navigating by Your Inner Compass
“An alarming number of college graduates are feeling uncertain about their future," said my colleague.
We were discussing our recent experience with coaching twenty-somethings. One of his former clients, now in their twenties, had recently written him, “I took this great job and I'm making good money….but I'm really unhappy. I don’t get it. Where did I go wrong?”
As we shared our stories, it appeared that we were glimpsing a larger trend. A little research confirmed my suspicions. Among the several reports I read, a Harvard Business Review story summed up how the world of work has changed dramatically over the past twenty years, particularly in its impact on young adults.
“There are nearly fifty million twentysomethings in the United States, most of whom are living with a staggering, unprecedented amount of uncertainty. Most have no idea where they will work or where they will live in five years. They don’t know if they are a day or a decade away from a promotion, or when they will be able to pay their bills.”
Meg Jay, HBR, August 2020, ‘Recent Grads are Drowning in Uncertainty”
Over the past year, I worked with several men and women ranging in age from 20-29, each of whom, in their own particular way, was stalled and adrift in their professional life.

I’m always looking for new ways for my clients to experience greater impact and more value from the coaching. I’ve been a professional coach for nine years now, and about a year ago, I was introduced to Solution Focused Coaching (SFC). When I first witnessed how it empowered clients in coaching conversations, I knew that it would help my clients achieve quicker results and more satisfying outcomes. As soon as I could, I signed up for a year-long SFC program, taught by the inspiring and insightful Dr Haesun Moon, at the University of Toronto..
I’ve now completed the SFC program and am thrilled with how solution focussed coaching enriches my clients’ experience and results. There’s still more for me to learn, however, on the road to mastery. Which means practice. To that end, I’m offering a couple of people 3-5 sessions at a heavily discounted rate (current rates range to over $200/hour). It’s a good deal both ways: you get some inexpensive professional coaching; I get an opportunity deepen my understanding and practice SFC.
What can Solution Focussed Coaching do for you? SFC is an innovative and efficient methodology that recognizes that each of us has the innate knowledge, wisdom, and experience to create the solutions we need for a purposeful, and engaged life. SFC draws on our innate capability to resource within ourselves whatever it is we need to meet goals and overcome challenges. You can experience the impact of SFC in as little as one session, but I recommend a minimum of three to experience its full benefit and impact.
Some possible applications for SFC.
Get started on a new business venture or creative idea
Break through blocks at work or in a relationship
Discover inspiration and greater purpose in your life
Get fresh thinking on finding happiness and wellbeing in your life
