With me as your coach, you'll get quick results. The longer term, more integrated change will occur as you radically shift your perspective: a transformation.
Instead of listing a standard resumé, I want you to know me and what I mean by breakthrough coaching.
Always fascinated by the dynamics of change, I completed a Ph.D. in 1982, including faculty-guided experience in personal growth and organization development, while working full-time as an internal training and development consultant and raising two children. As Director of Executive Development for Federated Department Stores I then developed a benchmark program to coach high-potential executives for leadership positions. So my first venture into my own business in 1988 naturally focused on coaching senior executives.
I found I can easily help people fine-tune their capabilities, attain desired positions, get back on track when their careers are in jeopardy, and interact more effectively with bosses, colleagues, staff, family, and friends. But I also saw the opportunity for more significant change. So I took time off in 1998 to create a new approach to coaching, one that resolves specific short-term issues and also breaks through underlying patterns that cause those issues - a more enduring change.
I'm determined to serve my clients to the fullest by staying at the cutting edge of knowledge about what helps people change. Since 1999 I've used these out of the box methods - coaching clients from all walks of life to see the boxes they've been in and loosen patterns that have kept them there.
The Enneagram is a powerful diagnostic tool that accelerates change by quickly uncovering key patterns, and is the basis for my books, all now available as e-books. You'll find descriptions of the nine Enneagram styles in personal and business situations at this web site. Personal development has an ethical component, so a number of articles on transformation, both individually and in partnership with others, show how to make your life congruent with your deepest values.
In addition, many free articles at this web site offer short-term solutions to issues such as managing anger, collaborating with peers, giving and receiving feedback, listening, overcoming performance anxiety, communicating with others who have a different conceptual style, confronting poor performance, dealing with resistance to change, team development, delegation, creative problem solving, and many more.
