It was 2008.

I was thriving at work, had three houses (two vacation homes), an incredible wife, and three seemingly happy children.

“Life is only going to get better!,” I told myself. “The fears “gnawing” in the back of my head aren’t going to happen to me. That happens to other people.”

And then I lost it. All of it.

The market crashed, my wife divorced me, I was forced to declare bankruptcy, and my kids got jostled between two angry, frustrated parents.

Ugh. I found myself asking, “What happened?” My head was spinning, I didn’t know who to blame (except myself), and it was hard to find motivation to dust myself off again.

In retrospect, my crash and burn was predictable.

The things I now know (and help my clients discover), would have prevented most of the fallout from that disastrous season.

That’s why I do what I do. And why I’m so passionate about getting others the support they so desperately need (and may not know they need). And hopefully before they flameout like I did.

So where are you at? If you are honest with yourself…what is your trajectory?

Are you cruising for a burnout, a blowout, a divorce, an affair, some bitter kiddos, or becoming bitter yourself?

Do you know there’s something more available, but it feels “just out of reach.” And always out of reach!

Do you have a voice inside your head telling you that you’re meant for more? But don’t know how to make it happen?

If so, that’s where I come in.

I specialize in helping you rediscover your clear-minded, confident self so you can be powerfully present at work and at home, regaining agency so you can craft the work and life you want.

You don’t have to sacrifice your family (or yourself) to create the impact you’ve always wanted. I can help.
