In 2004, an Air Force pilot told me that success in life was based on three things: motivation, preparation, and confidence.

In the succeeding decade, I did a lot of different things: military analysis at the Central Intelligence Agency, diplomacy at the State Department, deploying with the US Navy, leading a marketing team, and even working as a mascot for the Washington Nationals.

But throughout the years, I learned I felt most motivated, prepared, and confident in one particular theme: teaching leadership classes at the CIA, facilitating seminars for organizations, and coaching junior sailors in the Navy. It was clear: I needed to make it my primary professional focus.

Now, I run my own business focused on coaching and facilitation, partnering with corporate teams, government leaders, and nonprofit organizations to build emotional intelligence, develop their leadership capability, and strengthen team dynamics.

I use my real-world experiences, which comprise everything from year-long assignments in the Middle East to teaching children to play music, to help people see things in new ways. And when that happens, they discover new ways of tackling challenges.

Whether I’m facilitating a multi-day offsite, leading a seminar, or am deeply engaged in a one-on-one coaching session, my goal is the same: to help people get clear on what matters, aligned on how to move forward, and motivated to take action.

Because when people feel motivated, prepared, and confident, they don’t just perform better—they lead better.

That’s the kind of impact I’m here to create.
