Identify WHY You're Here
Want to know if you're in the "Right" Place?
Check out the following statements. If you can say yes to one or more then you'll know you are.
- You’ve always known what you wanted and now for some reason you don’t. Most people would never suspect it, but you know deep down that you don’t have the drive and ambition you used to have and you want it back.
- You’ve done everything “RIGHT” and you “SHOULD” feel happy and successful but you don’t. Something is missing. You’re ready to find out what that missing something is.
- Your kids are old enough. You can refocus on your career again and you’re thinking about starting something new, but you have too many ideas and just need help getting started.
- You’ve always found a way to use your creativity…usually for someone else's benefit. Now you’re THINKING it's your turn to benefit. You need a personal brand to help repackage and monetize your creativity.
- You’ve always been resilient, you’ve always had GRIT (SISU)–BUT a recent setback has shaken you and you’re concerned you won’t be able to get “IT” back.
If you can say yes to any or all of the above, stick around.
You’re in the right place!

Why I coach
I find joy in watching people reconnect to their unique creativity and innate wisdom. My experience has shown me that everyone at some point loses touch with their creative “genius.” Often times its due to the stresses built up by the circumstances of life, responsibilities and failures.
It’s also my experience that the creative spark never leaves, rather it gets covered over. The inner knowing is still there. The process to getting back to you begins in holistic spirit of “educere,” the Latin root of education; meaning to draw out, by using interventions based on research from both positive and sports psychology.
Nurturing, reengaging and respecting your creative genius, leads to reconnecting to your creative spark which returns satisfaction and well-being in all areas of life because it allows natural creativity to flow. My intent is to help my clients uncover and ignite this inner genius and thereby embark on second careers or take that second chance. Getting you back to what appears effortless, memorable, marketable.

Personal Branding
As a coach, I help my clients at various parts of their journey. For some it means helping them gain clarity by using the concept of Personal Branding as a tool to help them to figure out who they are, what they do and how they do it. Then how to package, market and monetize it. Along the way, people get stuck, and I help them identify new strategies to getting them out of their rut and back in doing what they do best.
Performance
In order to achieve your goals you have to take action and perform. Performance comes in all shapes and sizes. Performance is showing up day to day and putting in the effort to execute with excellence. My time as an actor gave me many tools to help you perform at your best – especially when the stakes are high. We’re going to invest some time exploring your best practices.
Best Life Practices
How you do anything is how you do everything to some extent. I’m no expert on life. I have however, spent time studying and exploring various techniques to get over the humps that life seems to throw at each and every one of us. Self understanding is a key elembent in achieving your goals. We’ll also spend some time looking at your approach to life…both how it helps and hinders you.
Oh, The Places I've been...
On my way home from another paid gig, I had a realization. This week, I will have 2 paid video gigs, 3 film auditions, 1 summer rep audition, my last rehearsal then performance at The Pearl, drinks with an Executive Producer, seen 2 shows done a house project or two and some yoga and meditation.
This amazes me. I have lived here 4 months and 2 days. And it is because of positive and grounded people like you that I have found my feet sooner than most.
