I'm a transformative coach with a twisted sense of humor.

In 2012, I walked away from a 10-year career in high tech strategy and went all in on becoming a coach.

My mission is to help people transform their lives and businesses. My work is focused on helping you find your own unique answers rather than relying on the advice and strategies of others.

One moment, I was in the zone and text just flowed through me and onto the page. A few moments later, I lost the zone. Suddenly, writing became difficult and I would spend a ton of time simply starting a paragraph or combining two ideas.

At first, I thought it was a sign that it was some deeper wisdom telling me not to write in the moment. Or perhaps I needed to do some sort of morning routine or apply some other strategy to keep myself in the zone all the time.

It wasn't until I realized that the ebb and flow of ease and difficulty is the fundamental nature of creativity that the writer's block stopped being a problem. In everything that we do, our energy is constantly ebbing and flowing and it has a tremendous impact on our ability to perform and our experience of the situation.

When I saw that getting stuck is part of the game of writing, it no longer seemed so important to try to get myself unstuck. I could relax into the "stuckness" and keep plugging away, knowing that it would sort itself out soon enough.

There is no writer's block - there's just the ebb and flow of energy that creates our experience. Surrender to it, and let your words flow through you.(less)

Starting out with a blank page, not knowing what you're going to write and then being amazed at the outcome.

Contrary to popular belief, we are not the creators of the words or the stories. They flow through us. We are just the catalyst the allows them to happen.

It's amazing what we can create when we just let words and ideas flow out of us.(less)

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
FALLING INTO PLACE by Antti Vanhanen
"I am usually doubtful of words "life-changing" but in this case I couldn't find any better. It really can (and probably will) change your life.

Maybe the best example would be implications of this book and the concept of Inside-Out into my own life af" Read more of this review »

Charles Bukowski, Women

“Ignorance is a lot like alcohol: the more you have of it, the less you are able to see its effect on you.”

Mark Twain
