In order to flourish, the most important first step when choosing an executive coach is finding the right fit. As a result of my martial arts training, I come from a place of balance, humility, honor and strength. These attributes allow me to create a safe environment where you can fully develop to your fullest potential.

Balanced coaching is critical because over compensating in one area can lead to a deficit in another. The concept of yin yang conveys how opposite forces are interconnected and compliment each other to create a powerful system. I integrate this concept into my coaching style to create fierce leaders.

Adopting Effortless Action With Adaptation and Flow.

At its core, Jiu-Jitsu is about adaptation and flow.  My coaching philosophy encourages clients to drop the illusion of control and embrace life’s uncertainty.  This reflects the principle of “wu wei,” or effortless action.  This mindset helps clients get through stressful situations.  By applying this philosophy,  clients experience work (and life) as a form of moving meditation that teaches them to adapt, to be present, and ultimately, to flow through the many challenges they face. By embracing a flexible approach, the clients who work with me respond effectively and creatively to whatever comes their way.  They learn that the only way to deal with change and uncertainty is to plunge in and flow with it.
