I have worked with executives all over the world to provide coaching which optimizes them as leaders.

In order to deliver results, I think it is critical for me to know you, for you to know yourself, and for us to concentrate on what matters most. Through this process you will be able to leverage signature strengths as well as remove barriers that keep you from realizing your full potential. Together we will build an action plan for personal success.

As part of the process you can expect:

• Creative and Trusted Professional Thought Partner
• Selected Awareness Assessments (Self, Multi-rater, Customized Interviews)
• Gap Analysis and Stakeholder Assessment
• Coaching Session Summaries (including conversation arc, key insights, action commitments)
• Consulting (on an as needed, as requested basis)
• Resources (recommended books, articles, trainings, referrals)

From my personal experience with families, organizations and the performing arts, I have come to learn that the greatest teams are those who understand that your team’s individual components, when expertly assessed, recognized, utilized and coached, can contribute to collective success, knowing what we do is more powerful that what each individual does.

When I work with teams (senior management teams, boards, virtual teams), I build team awareness and responsibility while fostering individual leadership to deliver impactful results.

As part of this process, you can expect:

• Individual & Group Assessments with Diagnostic
• Communications and Coaching Skills Training
• Skilled Facilitation and Team Coaching to hold the team accountable to goals
• Resources (recommended books, articles, trainings)

When I was 5 years old, I got my first bike. My father, co-holding the handlebars as he sprinted alongside me, shouted: “Pedal, Pedal, Pedal!” He then let me go. I rode briefly, and then fell down, of course. (We started on grass before moving to pavement; smart coaching there on my father’s part.) Gradually, I did this enough times that I no longer needed the coaching and was independently racing down the sidewalks of Dewitt, New York.

My work as a corporate trainer combines content, experiential learning, reflective practice, and coaching. I have been fortunate to have learned from some of the world’s top teachers, and I share the benefits of that experience directly with you. The most powerful learning for me happened when my teachers built upon my strengths and gifts, provided candid feedback, and coached me to take responsibility for myself as a craftsman. What I bring to your session is the combination of those experiences, married with a clear, structured presentation style that optimizes your learning and development agenda.

I offer a variety of options including leadership training, coaching skills for managers, presentation skills, facilitation and mentor-supervised coaching.

As part of the process you can expect:

• Veteran corporate trainer with international experience
• Co-designed, tailored course content
• Interactive and dynamic learning environment
• Co-facilitation availability, with specialist trainers

I’m being asked to be a speaker more and more. The reason people are inviting me, having observed my presentations, is because they want their audience engaged in what happens on the stage. This is where I can bring something truly unique to your event. I don’t believe my clients want me to talk at them or to them, but with them.

I spent my 30’s as a professional New York actor and teacher of theatre-based improvisation, where I was trained in what is required to hold the attention of an audience. So although I speak, I assume multiple roles – actor, writer, director. Each speaking engagement becomes an interactive event that entertains and informs.

I engage the audience through live demonstrations, storytelling, coaching clients on stage, shadowing another coach, and facilitating expert panels. The approach is dynamic and is always evolving to show the audience something new.

As part of this process you can expect:

• A dynamic presentation based on recognized coaching–based principles
• A learning experience for the audience
• Interaction and entertainment
• A unique, new approach for each engagement
