About Me
How do we work together?
Background
My experience spans over 20 years from large publicly traded Fortune 500 companies to early stage startups. Medical devices to Software as a Service. My roles included Chief Operating Officer, Chief Revenue Officer, VP of Sales, and Sales Executive. I have excelled at taking multiple companies to double and triple digit growth, building elite teams, and creating the foundational components to scale. I’ve been part of start-ups that sold for hundreds of millions of dollars and taken early stage startups from seed to series A funding.
I am a Board Certified Coach (BCC) and trained at the Institute for Life Coach Training. My MBA is from the Thunderbird School of Global Management and my Bachelor of Science is in psychology with an emphasis in industrial/organizational psychology.
How do we work together?
First, we get organized. We get out of your head and into action. We create your vision. Although my 20 years of extensive experience help me to understand where you’re coming from and share with you what I have learned, as a coach, I don’t tell you what to do. I’m not a consultant. I’m an expert listener. I firmly believe you, as the leader, have the solutions somewhere inside of you. No one can do this work for you which is exactly why you need a coach to be there next to you and guide you through it. I will force you to work on the business, not in the business. Strategy first, then execution. Both critical, but they need to be balanced.
From your vision, we create a customized plan of action. I don’t work off of rigid scripts. You and your business are unique and so should our work together. For business targeted coaching, I use Scaling Up by Verne Harnish as a guide. For improving individual performance, I use the insane amount of research that I have done coupled with personal experimentation and years of coaching as a guide. This may include meditation practice, proactive versus reactive tricks, diet changes, ‘HIIT’ training applied to work. Think Tim Ferris or The Huberman Lab. Remember, you simply cannot perform at an elite level without firing on all cylinders.
Successful leadership demands dedication and decisive action. I will push you as would an Olympic coach to achieve that maximum performance - all of the time. I will help you to create team alignment. I will also hold you accountable for what you say you’re going to do. Together, we will untangle the complexity of business and procrastination, creating small achievable solutions that launch you to your desired self and business. We will get you to live the life you love and create the business you’ve always dreamed of.
