When I meet someone for the first time, and they ask me what I do, I tell them I’m a coach dedicated to helping them unlock their creativity and bring their most important dreams into focus.
Their curiosity usually leads to the next question, “How do you do that?”
Instead of giving a simple answer, I ask them a different question: What do you want to create for yourself, personally or professionally, that you don’t have yet? With an emphasis on the word “yet.”
I love watching what happens next.

Create Your Story Your Way
You’ve likely heard about the importance of storytelling in your work, but what does that really mean? And more importantly, where else is storytelling shaping your life?
The short answer is we tell stories for many reasons, including to create a vision, share information, motivate/influence ourselves and others, leave an impression, or share an experience. We create stories to deal with uncertainties and make sense of all going on around us.. Stories are used to create safety, justify why we do or do not take action, and go after what we want in life.

Silencing Your Inner Critic
Do you ever feel like there’s a barrier between you and your aspirations, something that seems to keep you from fully reaching your potential?
Often, this barrier isn’t visible; it’s a voice inside your head – your inner critic – that casts doubt on your abilities and ambitions.
Taming Your Inner Critic
Taming Your Inner Critic Being Mindful and Present Slow down and trust the process… I recently returned from an inspiring trip to Sitka, Alaska, where I aimed to master photographing eagles in flight.

Discover the Power of the Enneagram
Have you ever wondered why you react the way you do to certain situations or why some tasks feel more fulfilling than others?
The Enneagram is not just another personality typing tool, it’s a framework for unlocking deeper levels of self-awareness and personal growth. In this journey, you’ll explore how the Enneagram can guide you to focus on a clearer vision for your life and the critical steps required to make desired changes.
What is the Enneagram?
At its core, the Enneagram is a dynamic system that outlines nine distinct personality types, each with its unique perspective on the world.
Press The Start Button
As we enter the new year, many focus on starting fresh, making positive changes, and seizing new opportunities.
If you are like me, perhaps you’ve set goals, selected a word for the year, and have been reflecting on setting intentions for the year ahead. Perhaps you’ve had an amazing 2023 and you’ve never been more energized about creating what comes next.
The Enneagram – The change you want
I was working with my coach the other day, a session primarily focused on reflecting on the past year and setting intentions for the year ahead. All in all, it was a year focused on growth and discovery.
An Invitation to Create
The responses I receive are as diverse as the individuals I speak with. For some, it’s about charting the next phase of their careers, mapping out a trajectory that aligns with their passion and skills. Others describe in vivid detail their visions for achieving a harmonious balance between work and personal life. Exploring not only what it would look and feel like but also diving into explaining why achieving this balance is so important to them.For many, this question sparks reflections on legacy — the impact they wish to leave behind, the lives they aim to touch, and the positive changes they desire to create in their communities or industries. And then there are those who dream of experiences — immersive travels, learning new skills, or simply creating cherished memories with loved ones.
