Very few make it in professional coaching. It's not an easy path. I know because I've done it - as my full-time work for almost 20 years. Many people still don't see why they would hire a coach, or even consider it. As a professional coach, you either have to...
20 years of coaching high-performing leaders, teams, athletes and execs. I see the same 5 gaps, over and over. It doesn't matter how driven you are or how much you've already pulled off. These gaps sneak in anyway, and they quietly limit how you lead, execute, compete, and perform. The...
I moved across the country alone at 25. It was one of the bravest things I've ever done. I left my awesome, full-time job in Baltimore to go back to school in San Diego. I said goodbye to all my friends, clients, family, and everything familiar to move FAR AWAY....
