Hey, thanks for stopping by.
I created this space because I know first-hand how time and life and whatnots can bury your creativity under shoulds and worries and what-ifs. And how hard, but how fun, it can be to skootch that pile over and let your creative thing out to play.
I’ve coached hundreds of clients since 2003, and guided each of them to their own unique transformations. Through this I realized there was a common thread with my clients. There was some part of them that they had put aside; trying to be the person others expected them to be. Over time, they may have even lost track of who they really are and what they care about.
It wasn’t that long ago that I was there too. Helping other people is one of the creative things I longed to find the right home for. How perfect (or maybe that should be, how perfectly ironic) that the place where I’ve landed is in helping other people uncover and develop their own thing.
This whole get your thing out in the world isn’t new for me. It started in grade school, when I converted a wagon into a “Craft Cart” and pulled it door-to-door to sell my art projects to the neighbors. The amazing part? They actually bought the stuff!
More About My Experience and Background
A life-long entrepreneur (see “craft cart” above), I’ve officially been self-employed since 1996. Before coaching, I was an Investor Relations Consultant and helped public companies market themselves to Wall Street. I’ve also done some freelance writing.
Before this, I held a variety of management positions in small businesses ranging from a microbrewery to a children’s theatre. During this time I often had a side business going, as an outlet for my creative mojo and to make a little extra money. These gigs included making and selling jewelry, writing and producing newsletters, cutting hair, and some other cockamamie things I can’t remember right now.

Now, my life has a gentler flow to it, as I pay attention to what’s truly important to me. There’s more fun and laughter while running my business, being with family and friends, even enjoying a hobby or two, like reading or my newest challenge, mountain climbing . My clients report similar results.
Since you’ve spent this much time learning about me, I’d love to hear from you, whether it’s a question, comment, story or just to tell me about a typo!
