EXECUTIVE COACHING

You've succeeded at every previous level. But now the complexity is higher, the pressure is constant, and the consequences of mistakes are significant.

The tactics that got you here aren't sufficient anymore. You need systems for decision-making under uncertainty, managing stress without it undermining your leadership, and staying clear when everyone around you is reactive.

This work addresses where traditional executive coaching and leadership development fall short—integrating nervous system regulation, tactical leadership skills, and the pattern-level work that determines how you lead when pressure mounts.

When This Work Matters

You're leading at a level where the stakes are higher and the margin for error has shrunk

You've succeeded at every previous level. But now the decisions are more complex, the pressure is constant, and the consequences of mistakes are significant.

The tactics that got you here aren't enough anymore. Leadership at this level requires emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and the ability to lead effectively when everyone around you is reactive. You need systems for decision-making under uncertainty, managing stress without it leaking into your leadership, and staying clear when everyone around you is reactive.

You're operating well but hitting a ceiling you can't break through

You're effective. You deliver results. But there's a pattern you can't quite name. Moments where you hesitate, overcompensate, or revert to leadership styles that don't serve you.

Maybe it's perfectionism that's gone from asset to liability. Maybe it's conflict avoidance that's limiting your impact. Maybe it's self-doubt that emerges precisely when you need to project confidence.

When the issue isn't knowledge or skill, it's pattern. And pattern work requires going beneath the conscious level.

You're facing leadership demands that expose your patterns

The difficult conversation you keep avoiding. The feedback you can't deliver clearly, or can't receive without getting defensive. The conflict that triggers you into withdrawal or aggression.

These aren't skill deficits. They're places where unconscious patterns override what you know you should do.

The stress is starting to show and the old coping strategies aren't working

You're functioning, but barely. Sleep is off. Focus is harder to sustain. You're more reactive with your team, your family, or both.

You've tried working smarter, delegating more, taking time off. It helps temporarily, but the underlying issue persists.

Coaching needs to address physiology and nervous system regulation, not just time management or mindset shifts.

You're navigating a major transition

New role. New level of responsibility. Company pivot. Team restructuring. Or you're considering leaving entirely.

Transitions disrupt identity, motivation, and the structures that used to hold you.

You're succeeding by every external measure, but it feels hollow

You've hit the milestones. Built the company. Made the money. But the drive is gone. You're performing well but questioning the point. Success feels empty.

What's driving this? Pattern work? Values misalignment? Identity shifts? That's what we explore together.

Leadership that lasts requires not just executing well, but knowing why.

The Work

Physiology — Nervous system regulation, stress management, recovery protocols, sleep and arousal optimization

Cognition & Leadership Skills — Decision-making under uncertainty, focus under cognitive load, strategic thinking, leadership communication, emotional intelligence, mental preparation for high-stakes moments

Emotion & Pattern — The unconscious patterns, drives, and conflicts that shape how you lead when pressure mounts

This is where most leadership work stops. This is where the real work begins.

Who This Is For

CEOs, Founders & C-Suite Executives scaling companies, managing high-growth teams, or navigating pivots under sustained pressure

Senior Partners & Managing Directors in law, finance, consulting, and professional services operating in high-stakes environments

Physicians & Healthcare Leaders balancing clinical excellence with leadership demands

Tech & Finance Executives operating under sustained cognitive and emotional load

Emerging Leaders stepping into roles with significantly higher stakes and complexity

What Makes This Different

The PCC Credential

Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentialed by the International Coaching Federation—the global standard for executive and leadership coaching.

This credential requires rigorous coach training (125+ hours), extensive supervised coaching experience (500+ hours), credentialing exams, and adherence to a strict code of ethics.

An Integrated Approach

Ph.D. in Kinesiology (Psychology of Movement). M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC). Exercise Physiologist (EP-C).

This integration allows work at three levels: physiological (nervous system, stress response, recovery), conscious (coaching and psychological flexibility), and unconscious (the drives, defenses, and patterns that shape how you lead).

Most executive coaches work at the conscious level: strategy, mindset, behavior change. This integration identifies when the issue is deeper and addresses it there.

Executive Coaching, Clinically Informed

This is executive coaching, not therapy. My clinical training informs the depth of the work—particularly around patterns, identity, and sustainability—but the focus remains on leadership effectiveness, decision-making, and performance under pressure.

How It Works

Engagements are typically structured as 3-month or 6-month formats to allow for meaningful development across physiological, cognitive, and leadership pattern domains.

We begin by defining what you're working toward, then assess the context: leadership style, stressors, team dynamics, organizational pressures. Together we build a coaching plan tailored to you. We work on specific leadership challenges through consistent sessions, test approaches in real conditions, and refine as you grow. The goal is durability, not quick fixes.

Format: Individual sessions (virtual or in-person), real-time support between sessions, on-site work when applicable

Investment: Determined through initial consultation based on engagement structure and scope

Current availability is constrained. I maintain a limited roster to ensure depth of engagement.
