I love helping people help themselves. Greatness is within you. I will pull it out. 👉 Guide. Author. Storyteller.

Challenges are my battlegrounds.

While you can't force insight, you can inspire it.

I have a unique ability to help people see things as they really are. 

With that perspective, the obstacle is now reduced and surmountable. 

Early challenges and opportunities taught me: 

→ Resilience 
→ Learning other languages.
→ Shaping my adaptability across cultures 
→  The agility to learn and experience new verticals

Incorporating the GROW (Goals, Reality, Options, Way Forward) coaching framework into my practice has significantly enhanced the way I guide individuals and organizations. This powerful tool aids in:

→ Establishing clear Goals to strive for.
→ Assessing the current Reality to understand where we stand.
→ Exploring Options to overcome obstacles.
→ Defining the Way Forward to take action and commit to change.

This framework complements my approach, encouraging a structured yet flexible path to personal and professional development.

My affinity for art gave way to a talent in sales, where I discovered the joy of understanding and helping people.

My career journey, from sales to CEO, has been a platform for honing my skills in influencing, inspiring, and driving change. 

Each role reinforced my belief that true coaching is about sparking transformation, not just transferring knowledge.

I've learned that effective coaching is not just imparting knowledge but igniting a fire within.

- A key strength of mine is taking complex challenges and distilling them into manageable, actionable steps.
- I excel at clarifying the path forward, helping others see things as they are – clear and uncluttered. 
- This ability has been instrumental in guiding others to realize their goals in both their personal and professional lives.

My ultra-running/cycling and artistic pursuits have instilled persistence, creativity, and a broad perspective. 

These traits are integral to my coaching and leadership, helping others navigate their paths to success with clarity and confidence.

My mission is to guide individuals and organizations to realize their ultimate potential.

Through personalized coaching and development strategies, I help them:

→ Build confidence to face the future.
→ Convert common talent into the uncommon.
→ Turn challenges into opportunities for growth.

Looking to enhance your leadership, increase productivity, or embark on self-improvement? 

I'm here to light the way.

If, after reading through the short description of who I typically serve and how I work, you find that we may work well together, feel free to contact me via phone or email for a complimentary, no-obligation initial consultation.

I have been fortunate to work with an outstanding group of committed clients for many years.  While each client holds their own values and visions unique to them, a few commonalities may help you determine if you would also benefit from my services.

- Most clients are either retired or within 10 years of retirement.

- My clients place a high value on financial planning and less emphasis on taking high risks trying to generate maximum return.

- My clients are long-term investors, comfortable with a custom asset management plan based on their risk tolerance, time horizon, goals, and income needs - not day-trading. 
 
- Most clients believe that their wealth is very important to them but no more important than family, faith, health, and community.

I am a Fee-Only financial advisor who takes great pride in acting on behalf of my clients. This means I have a responsibility to put my clients' interests well before my own in all recommendations.

At the core of our relationship is a custom financial plan geared toward life events such as retirement, wealth transfer, business succession, and asset protection.

Communication is key.  In addition to regular phone calls and emails, we will establish regular face-to-face meetings, typically 2-4 times per year.  Regular contact ensures a much higher probability of finding true meaning and success in your wealth.

If you have found you’d like to have a conversation about working together, I’d be happy to dedicate an hour to getting to know you better, discussing your intentions, and determining if I can provide value to you and your situation. 

To set up an initial meeting, contact me at pshope@shopeandassociates.com or by phone at (734) 479-1400.
