How could I move into my next chapter with purpose and confidence?
I know where I want to go, but getting there is increasingly frustrating.
I struggle envisioning and creating a path to move toward my next chapter.

I get it. Your role makes it difficult to create time for personal growth and breakthroughs.
We know we are capable of anything, yet breakthrough moments seem random and attainable only through relentless persistence.
And when they do happen, we feel relief to have found a way, and frustration that it took so long.
At a high point in my career of leadership and executive roles in media and technology, a life-altering breakthrough was set in motion after being air-lifted out of the Cascade Mountains with a life-threatening injury. The pace of my professional and personal life came to a full stop. Recovery was a challenging experience, and presented hard questions about meaning and purpose.
The self-realization came into focus after immersive study of self-determination theory, neurolinguistics, cognitive behavioral therapy, and positive psychology.
To help others learn how to effectively approach the challenges that shape who we are, and want to become.
Today, I work with leaders and executives determined to live at their best and make the most of their talents and gifts. Through change, to purpose, by way of personal discovery and development of possibility. And empowerment to move toward their vision of enduring change and meaningful impact.
I do not have all the answers, but I do know how to ask the right questions. And I look forward to our conversation about what you are working toward, and how we might work together to realize your vision.
A simple, dynamic approach tailored to you.
Successful coaching collaboration creates enduring change, and encourages, supports, and moves your behaviors and actions toward your inspired vision.
We work together through a process of reflective inquiry to develop a holistic understanding of the challenge, envisioned outcome, and the connections or obstacle(s) in thinking that are limiting progress.
-
1: Challenge & Objective
-
2: Situation, Context, Goals
-
3: Development Plan & Actions
-
4: Recalibrate, Refine, Track
-
5: Assess, Reflect, Long-range plan
What your program might look, sound, and feel like is determined by what you are currently experiencing, and how you envision that experience being different. You may even have an idea what you believe may be impeding or limiting your ability to realize that vision, in which case we can begin from there.

"Thomas stayed with me, every step of the way, creating a safe space for me to open up, question where I needed the push to face my blockers, and acknowledge my progress where necessary to fuel me to keep going. Thomas’ calm presence allowed me the time and space to unravel what I was battling and what I needed to do next to overcome my own obstacles."

"Thomas literally changed my life. I cannot thank him enough for his compassion, patience, motivation and guidance. He allowed me to explore areas of my consciousness that I had not tapped into for a while, shifting my sense of disconnection to optimistically developing new habits that have helped me evolve into who I was born to be."

Significant change requires deep work.
This level of tailored coaching limits how many clients I can work with at any given time.
Most client programs are challenge-focused with 60-90 minute coaching sessions scheduled 1-2x per month for approximately 3-6 months. However, each client situation is different and planned accordingly. The structure and consistency of scheduled sessions, and the momentum the process creates, provides the space to make significant change in a cumulative way.
Before any discussion about availability or proposals, let’s have an initial conversation to learn about your goal or intention, determine if I can help move you toward that objective, and how we might work together.
If you would like to have that conversation, let’s connect!
“ Neither coach nor leader can adapt and change until we are willing to step onto the balcony and gain new views of ourselves. ”

“ Some people use language to describe the lives they lead, and other people use language to create the lives they lead. Your mind was given to you to create the person you want to be. ”
Steve Chandler
“ Remember how long you’ve been putting this off, how many extensions the gods gave you, and you didn’t use them. At some point you have to recognize what the world is that you belong to; what power rules it and from what source you spring; that there is a limit to the time assigned you, and if you don’t use it to free yourself it will be gone and will never return. ”
Marcus Aurelius
