Successful leaders in tech hire me to go from restless, unhappy, and trapped to powerful, intentional and fulfilled by rediscovering purpose and going beyond fitting in.

✦ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗼 𝗜 𝗗𝗼? 
Leaders work with me to unleash an UNLIMITED LIFE. In 8 weeks they find meaning in their work, and lives and reignite their passion for greatness.

✦ 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗗𝗼 𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵? 
I work with high-performing leaders who have been greatly successful yet ask themselves “Why do I still feel deep inside that I was meant for more?” They sacrifice more than needed in their personal life and achieve less than wanted in their professional life. They want greatness in all areas (work, relationships, inner growth) and confidence they are utilizing all their capabilities and gifts. 

✦ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁?
Those who strive for greatness want it to be in all parts of their life, long-lasting and aligned with their principles. 

They want a solution that will remain present and working and not a quick fix on a superficial level. They want a solution that permeates their whole life, not just something that exacerbates imbalance. They understand it will be hard work and not something they will gain by reading a book, using an app, or going to a seminar. 

They demand that their uniqueness, experience, and capabilities are understood and it is not a one size fits all solution. They want to work with somebody whose experiences mirror their own.

You will work to uncover the foundational pieces that are underutilized or are blocking your path to greatness. You will work on all aspects of your life at the same time and carry lessons from each to the others. You will work directly with me in 1:1 live sessions that will deepen the long-lasting learning. You will know that your experiences are being understood by someone who has shared the same pressures and experiences of success that you endure. You will learn that you don’t have to sell out to succeed.
