Proven Methodology. My executive-centered coaching program has evolved and been perfected over years of direct, hands-on experience with clients, and thousands of coaching hours. I know how to get beyond the “symptoms” and help you identify critical insights to enable long term results.

Results. Unlike most coaches, my goal is not just to improve your effectiveness or make you “high performing.” These are just a means to an end. I am 100% focused on helping clients achieve their most important business goals.

 

My goal is to use my experiences and team building skills to help individuals and organizations succeed.

A little bit about my background. I studied Organizational Behavior at Brown University.  I was a teaching assistant for three years, leading group discussions of Harvard Business School cases.  In the summers, I worked on Wall Street.  I played football at Brown and after graduation was hired to coach my former teammates.  I also coached football at Penn State University and at the University of Rhode Island where I received my MBA in conjunction with the Institute for International Sport.

A 1991 summer internship facilitating teambuilding programs at the University of Rhode Island evolved into my coaching and teambuilding practice.  At the time, I was also teaching GMAT preparation courses at Brown.  The Dean of Special Studies asked me to co-create the Practice of Management Certificate Program.  It remains Brown's top draw.  In 2001, I initiated Brown's successful Training Certificate Program. I am also a core instructor for Rhode Island School of Design's International Certificate Program in New Media. 

I also serve on the Board of Directors at Goetz Custom Boats, and on the Board of the Brown Alumni Association, and I'm Chair of the Career and Networking Committee.

I use the concepts acquired from life, great coaches, and teachers, to offer others new insight and direction to finding success personally and professionally.  This is done with practical management theory, experiential exercises, practice, and humor.  I have facilitated thousands of sessions, all with positive feedback.

Eighty percent of my clients are repeat customers!
