Who I Work With

As a results focused personal coach and executive success coach, I work with people who are generally successful AND want to simplify busy, stressful lives and create the next level of personal/professional success -- but don't know where to start or where to go next.

Through focused life/work design services and personal life coaching, I help you overcome adversity, get unstuck, clarify what matters most, carefully assess where you are, and then build a bridge from there to where you truly want to be.

Individuals, business owners, executives, couples and groups worldwide have used my simple yet powerful life/work design, personal life coaching and personal success coaching services to jumpstart their lives, get moving, and create results that really matter to them.

My personal life coaching and success coaching services have helped many people shift their focus to what they truly want, and create what matters most in their lives and work.

As a personal life coach and an executive success coach for over 20 years, I have helped a wide variety of individuals, couples, organizations, and businesses get unstuck and create results that truly matter to them.

Those seeking my personal coaching services are often successful, but unable to create what matters because they are stuck in a problem solving stance.

Using my unique life/work design framework, I help them clarify and create what matters most to them-in spite of problems, circumstances and adversity.

My life/work design, personal coaching and success coaching approach has 3 parts:

1. As your personal life coach, I help you shift from a focus on problems to a more powerful focus on creating results that matter.

2. My life/work design services help you set up an organizing framework -- a structure for creating outstanding results in life and work -- regardless of what you're starting with, or where you are.

3. I also help you sustain results and practice long enough so creating becomes your habitual stance, your primary way of producing results.

It would be my great privilege to be your personal life coach or success coach. I would love to help you master my life/work design process, create what matters most, and live a rich, simpler and more successful life.

What Is Common To This Diverse Client Group?

All are relatively successful, but often not at what matters most.

They know how to produce results when they have to, but struggle to create the results they truly want and fear they might fail at.

All hold dreams of a simpler, richer, meaningful kind of success. They want personal life coaching help to produce important results, and are willing to experiment with new ways to do so.

Most have tried other approaches, but found themselves back where they started, pessimistic about success. Worse, they fear something iswrong with them.

Most suspect problem solving does not work for the challenges they face. They sense problem solving leads to compromise, lost dreams, frustration,. All seek personalized success coaching as a way to produce real and lasting success.

All lack a life design framework that aligns vision, values, choices, and actions so they consistently support their deepest longings and highest aspirations.

All find personal coaching and personalized success coaching give them the structure and support they need to imagine and create what matters most.

What Challenges Do My Life Coaching Clients Face?

Some are stuck or stalled. They don't know how to move to the next level. Many don't know what their next level is, or how to figure that out!

Many work hard but do not feel their results reflect their efforts. They want to learn how to do more with less. Much more!

Some try to produce results with a "Yeah, but." framework. Excited about a result, they negate it by saying "but." and listing the reasons why it won't work. Hint: Try "Yes, and." instead.

Many can't integrate competing desires such as life or work, or simplicity or success. They go back and forth between desires, not forward toward their dreams.

Many are in transition and need help clarifying purpose and direction. Others seek meaning and connection but don't know how to create it. Growing numbers struggle to reinvent themselves in the second half of life.

Others, just starting out, seek help crafting a success path that works.

Many feel overwhelmed by challenges such as starting a small business, or setting up a wellness or personal life coaching practice. Others struggle to complete complex projects such as a Ph.D. or becoming a published author.

Who Succeeds with Your Personal Coaching Approach?

My life design and personalized success coaching approach works best for those clients who have the following characteristics:

They have a genuine desire to create what matters most-even if they are not yet clear about what does matter.

They are willing to commit time and energy to develop their capacity to create. They are willing to work at creating the lives and work they want.

They trust me as their personal life coach, yet do not become dependent.

They understand that life design and creating are not just goal setting. They realize creating is, as John Ruskin said about art, "the place where the head, hands, and heart all come together."

They value mastery. They understand skills are best developed within a life/work organizing structure that starts with goals, grounds them in current reality, and leads to action to realize those goals.

Most of all, they accept the importance of consistent, committed practice. They see how a personal success coach can help them maintain a creating practice and produce results they are proud of creating.

If this sounds like you, we'll probably work well together.
You will likely enjoy my personalized success coaching approach and produce outstanding results. And I'll probably enjoy being your personal life coach.
