in your life, relationship or career – successful and in good shape or deeply troubled – you likely feel either a healthy impulse or a burning-pain desire to go beyond present reality and open to a more meaningful and potentially amazing life experience inwardly and outwardly.
As a successful person myself who has helped bring positive transformation to many individuals and in community life, I help you discover – and then connect to – the very specific-to-you “next level” of growth or healing: the level you may be frustrated or anxious about not having reached yet. In this sweet big move upward you transform stagnation, challenges and pain to discover the real value of yourself and your life and to become a greater force for good in the lives of others.
that for whatever reason you are seeking a coach, I coach within a particular framework that I and my clients have found to be highly effective almost across the board. That is, I help you see your particular goal as an opportunity to elevate your entire life and your role in the world – even as I help guide you to success on your specific purpose for seeking coaching.
or promotion, or expanding (or saving) your business, or reinventing your relationship in the midst of a very challenging situation, or expanding your creative capacities. Or it might be career related, even as simple as wanting to perform well on a job interview. It might be the need to come out of pain and gain emotional stability and wise thinking.
Whatever specific area of your life you choose as your focus, my work (which I love) is to guide you to unquestionable progress so that you operate from strength and at a higher level than you might be accustomed to. In fact, I help you align with the grandest possibilities and the greatest vistas of your life, and together we address your immediate challenge from the vantage point of that wonderfully higher point of view.
I bring the same principles to bear for organizations and companies held back by personnel and structural challenges. (Read More about Manager and Business Coaching)
I have worked within the Life Elevation context for the past 13 years as a Life, Leadership and Relationship Coach who has made a meaningful difference in the lives and relationships of hundreds of people, many of whom have provided client reviews for this site.
By coaching within this context, I have found that my clients and students make rapid progress on their specific goals, simply because all goals are symptoms of a profound need that we all have to be operating from a stronger and wiser level. And your next level is unique to you.
What’s not unique is that we all yearn for a life of profound purpose, self-expression and achievement. We also want loving relationships and meaningful careers, with little emotional pain and lots of joy. Most all of us also desire a sense of belonging to and respect from our community, with the knowledge that we are leaving the world a better place. (Read More about my General Private Coaching)
is to help you get past your specific barriers to having such a full life – and to do so much faster and easier than you ever expected. Beyond that, I am dedicated to making the world a little better using the talents I have been given to elevate your role in life and in the world. As you elevate up, you become a force propelling others in the same direction, even as a role model.
Your part is simply to want to reach that next level as surely as Kobe Bryant wants to win that next game!
I count four other major reasons for my success.
Because of my experiences in the real world of journalism, business and community leadership, my coaching provides a world view clarity and specific training that is easily comprehensible and which you can take into any a part of your life, including your career, relationships, family and social interactions.
In this I avoid psychological terms and New Age supplications. Instead, if you are financially successful or a leader already, I help you gain an even richer and more satisfying life experience. (Read More about Leadership Coaching)
Conversely, if you are unclear about what your life goals or purpose might be, or uncertain about what steps to take next, I quickly help you discover an inspiring direction or career that will be most satisfying to you.
If financial success is your goal, you learn specific and pragmatic real-world skills and measures that can bring the kind of success I have enjoyed.
I coach and teach you an entirely different – and highly effective – way in which you can create and maintain a great relationship. Modern relationships require skills our parents and ancestors didn’t have available to them – and when they fail it is primarily due to lack of basic understanding and training by the partners in how to be in life AND relationship successfully.
I have worked with numerous couples who had no success with traditional marriage counseling and yet substantial success with my coaching. The reasons they give is (1) that I coach specific “relating” skills that I have developed as well as practices I have learned from others; and (2) I do so within the context of my Life Elevation process that adds an uplifting dimension and mindset to turning around a troubled relationship.

and that my primary task is to teach you proven, game-changing tools and skills to help you elevate to a stronger level within a deeper understanding of yourself and of others and with greater capacity for healthy relationships of all kinds – personal, business and family.
These tools and skills can enable you to transform almost any difficult situation you may be in and, if you desire, to move past any inner barriers and achieve your broader life goals that are in alignment with your unique talents and inclinations. You then operate from a level of greater presence, performance and connectivity.
Once past the inner barriers, you find yourself opened automatically to exciting new realms in which you are experiencing the nature of your life in a completely fresh and more wholesome way. Moreover, the specific skills you have learned raise your mind’s clarity and wisdom to unexpected heights.
Among the skills you gain – and only if they apply to your needs – are healthy communication tools which allow you to have an infinitely easier time with other people and to be far more effective and confident in all your “relating” with others, including partners, friends, family, in your career, with children and in any casual encounter.
If needed, you can gain workable tools to liberate yourself from your internal barriers, your false beliefs and any negative patterns and unhappy emotions that don’t serve your needs or goals – emotions that serve only to show you where those needs aren’t being met.
Moreover, you can gain methods to quiet any guilt, mind chatter, regretful “should haves” or other forms of fault-finding or trying to “figure it out” which depress and drain energy. Such mind noise, developed in childhood, obscures your inner knowing and intuition.
once past the inner barriers, you find yourself opened automatically to exciting new realms in which you are experiencing the nature of your life in a completely fresh and more wholesome way. Moreover, the specific skills you have learned raise your mind’s clarity and wisdom to unexpected heights. You experience more loving interactions, more open self-expression, and easier-flowing self-actualization.
Also, you gain a very different and highly pragmatic understanding of what Self Nurturing means – a skill set meant to optimize your life experience, your health, your mental capacities and your soul’s quest for evolution
In essence, you learn how to be your own life or relationship coach… and to some degree even your own therapist.
This applies to you even if you are already a high achieving, self-confident person, as you find your way to the next level of possibilities for your life.
Therefore, I have developed a unique style of coaching that gets fast results. Typically, after just one session, clients feel confident that they will be able to realize their coaching goals quickly.
And, because I desire to make your life better and not see you flush your money down the toilet, I provide discounted rates to those who need more than 5 sessions to make major progress. (I also, as my time permits, discount rates for those who can’t afford my regular fees.)
Combining street-smarts, significant training in human dynamics and systems (including organizational systems) profound insight and understanding of human behavior. I also provide that extensive palate of skills to master the key areas of life you might choose as your focus.
My goal is to help you put your deeper inner knowing and intuition in authority over your life. Almost inevitably from the experience, you develop an even more positive sense of self. And you get to open to a vision of a meaningful life and relationships and to your next level of achievement.
