About me

As a resource, coach and teacher I work primarily with the top leaders and management in an organization or business. I don’t consult, nor do I bring expertise in any particular business or system or market. Instead, I specialize in people — and particularly their inner growth. I believe that when you unlock and free your people via better knowledge and capabilities, your business will survive and thrive even with the increasing economic pressures and social fragmentation you’re facing in the business world. 

Indeed, its the only thing that is going to see you through.

Business is people. Not nature, not systems; definitely not force of habit. Specifically, its how people think. Everything flows from there, both the good and the bad. 

If you can transform how you and your people think, you have the key to transforming your business outcomes.

I am a former professional classical musician (violin and voice). This was my first career before a serious accident took me out of the running. The lessons I learned from the intense discipline of practice and constant performance both as an instrumentalist and vocalist has taught me how real capacity is built.

I have been coaching leaders for more than 15 years. I fell into this work via the door of mental health. During my coaching training with the International Coaching Academy I started working with high functioning leaders who were struggling with terrible secrets. They revealed to me, sometimes for the first time, childhood trauma, mental health struggles, diagnoses, fear, doubts, anxiety, and the intense pressure and burn out they felt in their positions. My 30 plus years of background in western esoteric development and intensive meditation practices meant I had a unique perspective on the nature of the inner life. I could bring new perspectives and tools that they had never heard before and found to be powerful and effective. Since those early days I’ve been developing an approach that focuses on the transformation of the soul or inner life as a path of healing as well as capacity building for leaders.

I also love horses and spend lots of time with my little red mare, Spitfire. Leadership is knowing when to listen and ask questions, and when to guide. The best idea should always win, and around horses its often not your idea. Horses are tough but effective teachers at leadership because if you continue to be ignorant of your underlying motives and inner wounds by using control and dominance to hide behind, you’ll get hurt. And if you can get the dialogue right, horses will reward you with love and a beautiful connection.

If you’ve made it this far, you’re awesome, and I have one more thing to add that I actually consider the most important, though maybe the least understandable. I have been a serious meditant and student of Anthroposophy for 30 years. This is the true source of my understanding of what human beings are, and what growth and transformation looks like practically. This study, practice, and the very special teachers along the way (Rudolf Steiner, Dennis Klocek, Georg Kuhlewind, Valentin Tomberg, among others), have helped me create everything I bring to my clients and on my podcasts. I owe my unique perspectives and teachings to them.
