I am an observer.

My role is to see the best in each of my clients and invite those qualities to come front and center.

Why do you need an observer?

90% of the human population is either brutally self-critical or lacking in self-awareness. Taken together, it’s extremely difficult to have an accurate understanding of your best qualities, insights and opportunities.

How is this different than a coach?

I tell you what I see, not what to do.

In our work together, I’ll ask many questions, listen carefully, and observe your reactions. I notice what you don’t say… or do. My job is to “see” you in all your complexity and magnificence.

My belief is that most people know how to solve their own problems and pursue their own opportunities, once they gain clarity and focus. My approach centers on bringing out the best in you, period.

Why should you trust me?

For the past 14 years, I’ve spoken weekly - or every other week - with each of my clients, the vast majority of whom are entrepreneurs or sole practitioners (consultants, coaches, speakers…). Every single week during that long stretch of time, I’ve had three words in my head: what matters most?

My obsession with understanding what matters most to you substantially raises the odds that you will live in a manner that supports your priorities. It’s nearly impossible to tell another human being what matters most, week after week, without shifting your life to focus on those things.

If you’re curious, let’s set up an introductory call. You’ll quickly get a sense of what it’s like to work with an observer like me.
