As a leader, you directly impact company culture
If you felt free to be fully yourself—fully human, as a leader—if your direct reports could see you boldly sharing ideas, being vulnerable when you didn’t understand something, being honest when you disagreed, or courageously offering creative solutions to problems that traditional methods couldn’t solve, it would set a precedent. It would let them know, “This is our new company culture.”
They could then feel safe to be themselves and bring their full selves to problem-solving, to relationship building with colleagues and customers and between departments, to collaboration, and ultimately to fulfillment of the company’s mandate and the achievement of its goals.
And what would be the result?
Reduced employee turnover, increased engagement, and stronger performance, all fostering your company’s growth and greater contributions to the bottom line.

Transition Coaching
Professional Athletes
CHANGE IS JUST PART OF LIFE. JUST PART OF BEING HUMAN.
As a professional athlete many of changes in your life will be external and out of your control. You get hurt or cut and suddenly, you’re done. You’ve worked your whole life to make it to the top then it’s over. How do you prepare for that change? How do you leverage your network and influence that you have right now to set yourself up for success when your playing days are over? What business is the right fit. How do I surround myself with people I can trust? What do I need to learn so I can be successful in business? A million questions, right?
THIS IS WHERE I COME IN
So more than just helping you adapt to your changing circumstances, I help you adopt a new way of seeing yourself and others through the experience of these changing circumstances.
It’s not actually the change itself we resist, it’s the transition we must go through to fully accept and process the change that’s the most difficult. As William Bridges, preeminent authority on change and transition says, “It isn't the changes that do you in, it's the transitions. Change is situational, transition is the psychological process people go through to come to terms with the new situation. Change is external, transition is internal."
You will feel a loss when it happens. You will feel like you’ve lost your identity. You won’t have a team around you anymore. You won’t get the same attention. You will be an Former Pro Athlete.
Change rarely allows us the luxury of ‘transition-time’. It doesn’t matter how many balls you’re juggling or how fast they’re spinning, my coaching presses the pause button, allows you to step back & gain clarity — raised awareness, greater understanding and learning. Learning and heightened awareness puts you in a position of control, choice & clear direction.
Together, I'll help you embrace your "human-ness" so that you can discover and define what will bring you the greatest personal satisfaction and professional effectiveness moving forward.
