Coaching successful leaders to true fulfillment
Move to a level above success
I work with successful, extraordinarily committed executives who have decided it’s not enough to keep racking up accomplishments. They want something more, and it’s often difficult to specify what that means. It seldom actually means “more.” What they usually want is something stronger and deeper, with greater meaning.
If you’re reading this, you may have been referred by someone who knows me. You’re probably like my existing client-partners, who know how to develop and implement plans. You’re likely disciplined and resilient. But you may not be applying this knowledge and leveraging these strengths in the totality of your professional and personal lives.
My approach combines ancient wisdom, scholarly research, and a lifetime of experience. It revolves around a simple formula that’s not always easy to live by: Strong relationships, with a deep purpose, lead to true fulfillment. Some of my client-partners already have a general understanding of these ideas, and they want help bringing the specifics to life. Others like to reconsider their foundation and then figure out an even better way forward, professionally and personally.
It’s 100% possible to be both highly successful and truly fulfilled, as long as you do the work. If you’re fully committed to investing the time and energy it takes to be one of these special leaders, then I can help you make excellent progress.
Here are some of my client-partners . . . they’re highly successful executives (things already look good “on the outside” for them) who are committed to finding true fulfillment (they want to feel even better “on the inside”) . . . with a serious commitment to sustaining both success and fulfillment (they do the necessary work):
— President of an NFL team . . . who wants to win more Super Bowl rings as well as be an even better life partner and parent
— Chief Financial Officer of a medical informatics company (held by a leading private equity firm) . . . who wants to build stronger relationships with work colleagues and family members
— General Counsel of a public (NASDAQ) life sciences company . . . who wants to think, talk and act less like a lawyer and more like a C-suite leader
— Entrepreneur who sailed through Harvard Business School . . . and wants to transition from founder to CEO, while excelling as a parent and life partner
— PhD / JD / MBA who has always been one of the smartest and hardest working people in the room . . . and wants to sustain success with fulfillment

“I absolutely love that your approach is simple and practical, and the best part is it’s precisely customized for me. You’ve coached me to find my vision and given me techniques for leveraging my strengths. What I love most about working with you is that you help me ask the right questions and find the best solutions myself (often by thinking beyond our conversations). Knowing I have you as my coach gives me confidence in whatever I do.”
— Varun Luthra, Discover Financial Services
“Through your kind, transparent and pragmatic approach, I learned to lead with greater purpose, bring out the best in others and myself, and focus on the things that are most important in my life. I would not be the person I am today if it wasn’t for all the time we spent together.”
